Which makes this trade all the more unexpected

Can’t see the Blues finishing above NM/WB/Bris
I'm still unsure how to view the trade. I think the difference in the value system is in the fact that Carlton knew exactly who we would get with the pick this year, when you trade picks before knowing who you would get, there is added risk.

Holy **** if anyone wants a laugh go read the early 40s pages of the carlton draft thread.

Listen to them talking about how their ballsy (should read: ******* atrocious) trade is 'stamping their authority' on moving up the ladder and 'rebuild complete'.

I'm pissing myself.

Yeah there’s always the risk of the draft crop turning out better or worse a year on, but that is obviously the risk we chose to take

Actually feel like this trade could be mutually beneficial, I do rate Stocker

Don't bet on it - now that we have their pick you watch them have a break out year and finish just outside the top 8
Carlton have Cripps, Curnow, Docherty and...? Where's their star power?

It's not Dow or O'Brien or any draftee who's played less than 30 games. It's not McGovern. It's not aging players like Murphy and Thomas.

And they're suddenly going to make the 8?

This isn't Collingwood with Treloar, Grundy, Adams, etc.

This isn't even Brisbane who have Neale, Zorko, Lyons, Hipwood, Berry and handy support with Robinson, Rich, Martin, Cameron, Hodge, Taylor, etc. And Brisbane finished bottom 4 with that list last season.

The only thing preventing Carlton getting another wooden spoon is the fact Gold Coast are going to have the worst year in AFL history.

I am looking forward to supporting three teams in 2018- Crows, whoever is playing Carlton, whoever is playing Port.
Could be worth us tanking our game against Gold Coast for pick #1.


... joking. ;)

Well the trade and draft period summed up why we need changes at afc. ******* bewildered by our decision making. Why didn't we trade into the top 5 picks during the trade period? I hope we do well next year but until Burton and co are exited from the club nothing will change.
I really hope this works out.

Having said that I’m genuinely stumped at what our actual strategy is?
Are we in a rebuild?
Or we actually just making it up as we go along!

I know one thing for sure, a lot of people will be judged by this off seasons decisions.

GC will finish bottom next year imo. they will virtually go into next year with no star players and a side full of b grade trades. Blues arent as bad next year as everyone thinks.
Go and join in thr circlejerk with the blues then mate, you can talk about how they have '2 instant midfielders' - how bad doea your midfield need to be that 2 rookies constitute walk up starters no questions asked.

**** me, I get the Suns might get the spoon but as long as we finish top 6 and they finish bottom 3 this trade is ******* bank.
