Bulldogs star Caleb Daniel has been traded to the Kangaroos for the No.25 draft pick.
Kangaroos list boss Brady Rawlings admitted the Bulldogs played hard ball over the trade.
“We obviously started talks a while ago with Caleb, he was a player that was contracted for two years,” he told AFL Trade Radio.
“The Dogs didn’t want to lose him so they pretty much put their price on straight away and weren’t going to deviate on that.
“We ended up giving away that valuable pick given our interest in him.”
Daniel had found himself out of favour in coach Luke Beveridge’s side but his manager, Marty Pask, denied there was any ill feeling about the situation.
“I wouldn’t say hurt. We’re all professionals at the end of the day … he had to go through different challenges that he probably hasn’t faced in his career for a while,” he said.
“Sometimes players need a fresh start to kick them along again.”

In return, Sydney will receive pick No.44 in the draft.
Konstansky wasn’t part of the trade initially, with Swans head of list strategy Chris Kean revealing he came into play “pretty late”.
“He was thrown up in the last couple of hours … it’s good for Jacob to get an opportunity at another club and hopefully gets a good run at it,” he said.
18. Jack Macrae traded to St Kilda
Western Bulldogs will receive the No.45 draft pick in return for Jack Macrae, who is heading to St Kilda next season.
