Horrid kicking style
I'd rather your list. Walsh, Cripps, Weitering, McKay, C. Curnow (if he can get fit). Thats a group of 5 that can get you places. Carlton's problem is they get judasses from other clubs with no moral fibre, backbone or team spirit to come in to take them to the next step.
Your list management has been appalling. What do you expect going out of your way to get McGovern!
I would have a solid "no trade ins" rule for the next 3 and concentrate on recruiting and developing what you got. Adam Saad and Zac Williams aren't going to get you anywhere.
Whoever decided Saad & Williams were a good idea should be sacked. Carlton review completed.I'd rather your list. Walsh, Cripps, Weitering, McKay, C. Curnow (if he can get fit).

Disagree - they should throw the kitchen sink (whatever they have left of it) at Adam Cerra.

Bingo. Trades are for filling gaps in a side you've largely built yourselfIt's a bit similar to Port always seeking to land a "big fish" in the off-season (see Messers Dixon, Ryder, Rockliff, Motlop etc).
In reality the blokes that change clubs are rarely of the god-tier (Franklin, Ablett, Danger notable exceptions).
95% of players that move will make you slightly, incrementally better but will rarely if ever be the foundations of a successful side. They're good cherries on top of the cake. if you don't have the cake their pointless.
I dunno.. Lynch, Jenkins and Betts made our forward line a lot better and we made a grand finalIt's a bit similar to Port always seeking to land a "big fish" in the off-season (see Messers Dixon, Ryder, Rockliff, Motlop etc).

That William's trade was very wierd in particular. We're going to pay through the roof then convert you to being a midfielder. Just a terrible decision.
Or alternatively, the smart trading was by Port in selling high on blokes like Wingard and Howard to get in elite talent in Rozee/Butters/Duursma (I forget which pick was actually there's to start with)
Obviously didn't learn that one when they tried making Mcgovern a FFPaying a high sticker price hoping a bloke can play a different position always tends to end in tears.
Didn't Port Power trade Howard for Georgiades, downgraded their pick 10 to 12, the two players taken at 10 and 11 were Kysaiah Pickett and Will Day, two very good South Australians.
It's not clear that it is a clear win for them. A lot depends on whether Bergman ends up playing long term.
Exactly right
Their midfield is thin. Two high rollers and nothing else
Already had Docherty and Petrevski-Seton across half back.
It was such a dumb decision. Midfield no better and has simply pushed SPS out
Got my draft years confused.
I am very glad they don't have Kozzy Pickett.

That would be amazing but doubt it. Doesn't seem like a sook.Any danger of Horne pulling a Bailey Smith/Archie Perkins/Chad Wingard?
He could try it but I’d suspect that the hawks wouldnt care what he said.. they’d still take him. North probably would too..Any danger of Horne pulling a Bailey Smith/Archie Perkins/Chad Wingard?
Not quite. Yes they downgraded 10 to 12 in the Howard deal, missing out on Pickett and Day. But Georgiades was from a trade of first round picks with Brisbane.
Port traded their 2020 1st and pick 29 for Brisbane's pick 16, with later pick swaps. That pick 16 became Georgiades. Their 2020 1st was on-traded to Melbourne and became pick 22, Bailey Laurie
The Howard pick (18) became Dylan Williams and Collingwood's 2020 2nd round pick. That Collingwood pick was absorbed in the Lachie Jones bid
Saad is pretty goodWhoever decided Saad & Williams were a good idea should be sacked. Carlton review completed.
He's good, but he doesn't justify what he's being paid.Saad is pretty good
