Crows receive a future round 1 pick
From Carlton

Blues receive pick 19 and a future round 1 pick
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.

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

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.

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

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.
