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

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.

Disagree. Carlton are virtually guaranteed bottom 4 and we have an extremely soft draw. Sure it’s a risk but not an overly high one.

The Fox Footy “experts” are idiots. Basically talking this trade as a bold move by Carlton who think they’ll finish next year around the same mark as us.
they were just trying to justify it. It was more. "they must believe that which will make it not look as bad as a lot of people think"

thats saying they think its a bad deal but want to talk it up (as they are the "big" vic club so the story is about them, not our bold move) so polishing it the way that suits their narrative

We had the upper hand here as they wanted Stocker. We should have driven the hard bargain and done our pick 16 + 2019 2nd for their 2019 1st
