Bluff or bluster Chesser

A few weeks ago after copping another belting for WC Campbell Chesser, told his team mates, basically, if you don’t want to fight and put your nidy on the line I don’t want you along side me. Not exactly his words, but the meaning was that.
Now, he has told the club that he wants out. He like a few, want to go to Carlton. He wants out.
I wonder at what stage he made that decision. Did he have a move in mind when he challenged bis Eagles team mates.Was he trying to goad them into putting their bodies on the lune evefy game from then on. Or was it a parting shot at the unwillingness of all to take the bit in their teeth and gillow him.
