They would've been having discussions well before that.
Yeah, my guess is they were having discussions, then Reid spilled the beans to the media.
My guess is they did this to pressure Carlton. More than likely public opinion would have come down on the side of the player wishing to return home. That's my take on it anyway. By sticking to their guns Carlton have virtually negated any future use of that tactic.
It could be as Cracka has suggested, the Crows just didn't know what to say to the media, the dramatic reaction from the Blues to that turn of events would suggest this was a mistake.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail
