Game Day 2018 DRAFT - Christmas is early this year

[Morning_Fog]

It would not surprise me if we now trade pick 24 for 2 picks in the 30’s.

 

[dplggr47]

Crows got done in this trade. Two picks on a gamble for a top 5. What if Carlton have this Collingwood type year. jesus this is stuffed. I am not happy at all and I think the club just showed utter disrespect to an opposition club. We should have demanded carltons 2nd rounder at least in return. This is a horrible trade and one that could just absolutely bite us in the arse. Just horrible.

Could've at least asked for our 2018 second rounder back, but it's a gamble for potentially high gain.

So what players are tracking well for next year. Any top 5 South Aussies?

Disagree. Carlton suck. They have no depth. They don’t know how to win. They’ll improve, but st worst it’s a top 6 pick.

 

[Sidthehat]

Richmond, Brisbane may well have gone RCD, Ely Smith anyway.

 

[Shaz2012]

180 and 178

We seem to like them that size. About the same as The Gooch?

 

[FR0GGY]

May as well keep going gill, we are all here.

 

[Bernie L]

Good thinking by the lads.

We need something to get Luko or Rankine back!!

 

[Drewie11]

So much negativity with the trade. Let’s death ride Carlton and use it to get Rankine next year

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Pretty clear Hamish doesn't share your love for RCD or he thinks he's there at #21

Yep, obviously no love by the Crows for RCD

 

[Crow till I die]

I wonder if this draft did not go the way the club was thinking and they are bailing to get a better hand next year. Ie we had our best draft hand ever and this was the year there were some top top SA kids and we could get none of them. 2 years of planning for this draft essentially gone up in smoke and now it may be all about collateral to try and get 1 of them back sooner rather than later. Just surprising that we decided to trade 2 x 1st round picks to Carlton for their 2019 1st when they could very well improve next year with all their in's. Just baffling

 

[hey shorty]

No it isn’t mate.

This was the year to go all in, not continue to kick the the can down the road.

It’s an awesome trade move, and great to have it - but it doesn’t help us win a flag.

In isolation this is one of the more remarkable trades weve ever done.

Whilst I somewhat agree we could have gone all in, it was clear clubs weren't keen on doing it.

 

[adelaidecrows]

just gutted. Im not convinced we would have taken Chayse or McHenry had we known about this trade. we have just sunk the 8 ball early on this draft period.

But, Carlton.. Won't be any good until they get a coach

 

[Idontpullout]

Honestly. Who would carlton finish above next year. Gold coast? Port maybe?

 

[ABAB]

Both picks seem like we went a pick early

Depends, there was news that GWS were keen on Jones and than Caldwell in that order, similar as us.

 

[FAITH]

Carlton are no where near getting out of the botton 2

 

[King Elvis]

Worse case we gave up pick 16 and pick 7-12 for a top 5 pick.

Kinda wonder why we didn’t do that this year, don’t you?

Cleric boy Tahney. Norwood lad.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Great trade. It's a gamble sure, but like the club rolling the dice. We've got a good list, we've got talent and we were given a chance to win big with minimal downside risk. Carlton have not been good, and would be going great to finish say 4th last. I reckon Saints, GC and Carlton are the raffle for bottom 3. No way Freo or Lions get worse, so the big risk is our own performance, so we're betting on us to improve.

Good move.

 

[Drewie11]

And now we turn 21 into 24 and 29 from Gold Coast because they want McLennan

 

[Sidthehat]

Curtis Taylor, Ian Hill, Valente got to be happy with one of these.

 

[NikkiNoo]

All I'll say is that I am cackling here. That is a ballsy trade and I love it.

Youd be a gem at parties.

1 month ago heaps of people were prepared to trade 3 1sts for a top 5 pick. Now we trade 2 end of 1st rounders for a top 3 and still melt.
Classic BF.
