Having said that, I think, it would benefit us in the long term if we build a reputation for ourselves as fair traders.
No, screw them. They got BJ for nothing and screwed us over big time with that woman bashing drunk.
Nice guys run last in the AFL.
The only problem with us getting Lovett was our club. Nothing to do with Essendon. Anyway our club will do whats right for us. Luckily they aren't emotive supporters.

KEVIN Sheedy was among a host of former Essendon people who helped convince St Kilda to take a punt on Andrew Lovett.
The Saints yesterday secured Lovett on a three-year deal in exchange for pick No. 16, a trade St Kilda's Grand Final conquerors Geelong could not get across the line during last year's trade week.
Saints coach Ross Lyon said yesterday Lovett was a priority pick-up.
"He gives us some X-factor," Lyon said. "We're real excited, he gives us some pace and real finish to the team."
Sheedy, former Essendon high performance manager John Quinn, and former captain James Hird were among those the Saints sought out about the one-time wayward Bomber.
The 26-year-old has a chequered history, which included a court case involving an ex-girlfriend and last year twice being suspended by the Bombers.
"He's matured . . . we spoke to a lot of people," Lyon said.
"We have a good environment and a strong team and every opportunity for him to grow.
"This was our priority deal."
Sheedy, who coached Lovett for three seasons, said last night: "I told them Lovett was a terrific player. I like Andrew Lovett. I like him as a player and a person. '
screw essendon and waldron for that matter.
