It's amazing how SOS keeps winning the trade periods - 3 in a row now! - yet the Blues are anchored towards the bottom of the table.SOS and Carlton have won the last three trade periods if you look at it from a collective perspective. Kennedy, 10 and 30, Lang, mullett, lobbe either fill needs (midfield depth) or coverage for injury (mullett and lobbe) all for the loss of Gibbs and a late pick.
Essendon - saad (they already had enough def run), McGrath won't be their midfield saviour nor will smith (rumoured to have failed Carltons medical - degenerative knee problem) or stringer (picks and choose but he holds the most upside). But Essendon needed inside midfielder (Kennedy being an option but he chose Carlton). They also gave up this years draft after they've missed a lot of drafts over the previous years. They will fall quite rapidly when replying on their depth which isn't there.
Port - topped up with Rockliff who is probsbly past it. Brisbane clearly let him go for a reason. Excellent SuperCoach player (downhill skier) but his shoulders are about done and will probably spend the remainder of his career in the fwd 50. Losing lobbe (ruck depth - might be needed with Ryder being all they have) and trengrove (important to their structure) to gain the fringe of nearly every afl team going. Thomas FFS can't get a game at north that is so bad. This willbe Collingwood drafting bad. People are going to lose jobs over this. Can't beat a top 8 team so top up. There is a huge gap between port and a premiership and what they did isn't enough to bridge it.
Something just doesn't appear to be adding up...
