I had my (small) hopes raised after the first Carlton game, but have been more and more disappointed since. Lose-Lose for both teams this trade frankly
I disagree. Fantasy points are overrated especially for ruckman.

Clearly been a win for sydney- tippet has had his best year since Sinclair has come down. Jetta been dropped three times. Sinclair hasn't been dropped since 2014 season at WCE.

didn't mention fantasy points mate. He kicked 3 goals and was moving around the ground well (intercept mark in d50 for example). Since then he hasn't gone above 1 goal in a game and his forward pressure and agility is mediocre. Brought him in to be forward-ruck, 7 games of 1 goal, 8 games of zero. Is that successful, considering we paid 400 grand for him, IMO that's definitely not good enough. 400 grand and we're judging him on how he freed up another player... fair dinkum

He must be the softest 100kg player in the comp too

Hang on if Talia is getting $400k according to some on here and so is Sinclair according to some on here

How the hell did we manage to get both??? We were only allowed one player over $380k as per the terms of the trade ban.
Talia is surely not getting 400? swap of late draft picks, that's eyebrow raising to give him that much. Would have thought he would be mid 200's - low 300's.
Additonally wasn't there provisions for losing players above the threshold we could bring one in? so lose Jetta gain Sinclair plus get another player for less than the threshold we were given. Purged that farcical crap from my memory so i may be mistaken.

Yep only could bring in one player over $380k as long as we lost a player over that amount. Nothing to suggest we even did make use of that provision

was raised to 450 wasnt it? that would have allowed us to get them both if they are both on 400. Have to say thats a rather large contract for the 2 of them, Talia in particular if that is the case

First it was a straight ban, the we were able to trade for/sign FA's upto the AFL average of $380k, then we were allowed to replace one contract above $380k for another along with the $380k cap
