Welcome Adam! 
We overpaid, but then everyone thought Brisbane overpaid for Cameron, so hopefully turns out like that.
Welcome to Carlton Adam. He was absolutely the right player to target, adds line breaking pace to our backline. We should have the best defence in the League next year.

How good is it to see him in our jumper? Our team just got a lot better.

Makes us instantly better. We've just replaced a 342-game player in Simmo "overnight". Look at every premiership team in recent years and they all had quality run and disposal out of their backline. We just picked up a bloke who is ELITE in both categories. Amazing get.

Fills the hole left by Kade Simpson and allows Zac Williams to go through the middle. I really can't see any holes in our side now we absolute cherry ripe good to go
Also let's not forget we just poached one of Essendon's top 3-4 players (based on their B&F the last 3 years).
They were desperate to keep him, increasing their offer to match ours and basically groveling for him to stay. But he chose us.
We just got stronger and they got weaker.
It makes me happy.

Replying to this from the previous thread...
Thanks for this perspective. I came on here to have a pop at our recruiting team for handing Dodoro this win, but there's some truth in your post and it's giving me pause.
We all know Saad is a good player. We need pace and good ball users, he definitely brings the former and is definitely decent in the latter.
However, it's the deal which hurts. Dodoro wins this because he starts by negotiating in bad faith (asking for Walsh, McKay etc), stands his ground on our top pick (despite his player being out of contract, i.e. no longer an Essendon player!), and doesn't budge when the media throw in a dose of pressure to get the deal done. Carlton, meanwhile, held all the cards in this scenario. Saad had nominated us, he's out of contract leaving the possibility that we get him for nothing, Essendon need the deal done to get Dunkley in, Carlton fans would have been reasonably happy to take Pick 8 to the draft. The longer the situation moved along, the more the pressure would have transferred onto Dodoro. But....we cave.
Happy to have Saad in the door. He's a good player and will be best 18. But our approach screams inexperience. And it screams fear of the fight.

in what world is anyone not happy with Saad, Williams and Fogarty for the equivalent of pick 10-11 in this years seriously compromised draft.
Glad we got a little bit back from Essendon, slightly overs but whatever. Happy to have three players in the door that can play half back, mid and mid forward and meaningfully contribute.
Welcome Adam.

Welcome Adam.
Happy as! We got Saad. The trade values him at pick 13 which is about right in a compromised draft.
Will be a great acquisition to our team. Hoping to see him switching between hbf and wing.
Great get.
