[GROTTO]

Started sending to my private box had to put on ignore

F**k me thats just sad and pathetic.

Yep and still made no sense of what he was trying to say

The Carey trade is indicative of how far trading has evolved
Pick 4 for an albeit legendary forward over 30 was a desperate reach at the time
Would a team give up a top 10 pick for a Kennedy, Riewoldt or Hawkins today

In my mind, our worst trade ever

Points wise what was Gibbs worth?

What is Pick 4 worth?





Carey at least took us to a flag.

The theory wad sound.

We had a gun midfield, a gun albeit older defence, we just lacked a power forward. Carey at 75% would've been enough and we took the risk.

Im not sure if Carey went through a medical at the Crows, but the fact he couldnt mark above his shoulders was measure of just how cooked he was.

I thought he played a ripper GF for us though in the preseason. He looked fairly solid. But an average Carey was always going to be better than any big tall forward we had the time.

In fairness he also had a few issues while he played for us that prematurely ended his career with us.

Crows got pick #12 for a nearly cooked Shaun Rehn

Was that on the back of his 3rd ACL ???

Agree the theory was sound, just gave up too much for Duck
In today’s AFL, we would’ve traded pick 4 for two first rounders, then on traded a mid first for Carey
Carey was never worth pick 4
Should’ve thrown everything at Pavlich
But that was then

 

[radiojake]

1999 was his 3rd ACL -
played 16 games in 2000 before then being traded at the end of that season

That was the infamous disc in the centre of Footy Park. Glory be.

Pavlich in 2002, had "only" kicked 10 goals which I am presuming it was because he must have played in other positions. This may have put the Crows off?

Sadly for us, he averaged around 70 goals a season, from 2005 to 2008.

There was a game against Hawthorn at the G where he had 24 and kicked 4 I think, and a few cameos but yeah.... very poor outcomes.

Think that may have been his first

 

[hey shorty]

Nah that was in the Tony Hall pocket.

 

[GROTTO]

I swear I thought he kicked 4 or 5 goals in the GF and importantly kicked the match winner or sealer in that Night GF?

Gosh I was so pumped that night.

 

[cleanhands]

Cheers recall he played in a GF with that massive brace and took it off at half time

Rehn was Breaking Bad well before his time, had a great second half too.

 

[GROTTO]

When you think about it, I dont think any modern player would do something radical like Rehn did and taking a massive bandage off the knee that he had done his ACL, during a grand final.

 

[cleanhands]

Rehn was Breaking Bad well before his time, had a great second half too.

Bunji McLeod was giving him a serve at half time

 

[GROTTO]

Bunji McLeod was giving him a serve at half time

I remembered it differently. I thought he was personally frustrated with his effort in the first half, he tore it off in frustration and said f**k it.

You’re right but Bunji was saying to him the opposition ruck was crap and that it’s time to start jumping over him and take control

 

[hey shorty]

He did, kicked the first of them inside the centre square. Strutted around s bit too.

 

[GROTTO]

He definitely had the swagger in that game.

I can never find the highlights of that game on youtube. Seems to have disappeared or never been on youtube.
