News out of Essendon this morning that Caldwell has done his hamstring again at training whilst rehabbing his Rd2 hamstring injury. It's starting to look like the trade was a good one for you guys. I doubt he has a long term future if he can't even rehab his injury without re-doing it.

I was thinking that last night. Everyone will rave about how good he is when GWS have seen how good he is for 10 years now.

I think he was always lauded as a player

I think he'll be a good'un long term, but durability is an issue.

Plenty of time to count his money.

He had hamstring issues pre-draft didn't he?

Yes, which is why GWS nursed him along quite conservatively for the two years he was here. Got him to a good level of strength in year 1 mainly in NEAFL with some time off, then a few games in year 2 without going too hard.

So of the players that left last season only Cameron having a good year
Hately 2 underwhelming games and a long term investment by the Crows so he will need to be best 22 next year of he could be bust
Caldwell Again 2 underwhelming games and injury history is an issue and a big investment by the Bombers for a lot of time on the injury list and he and the club will be hoping he can put his injury history behind him
Corr No Surprises with 2 games played and injury problems, big money to be sitting on the sidelines and with his long injury history it will be interesting if he can put an injury free year in during his career
Williams 10 games and most would say underperforming for what he is being paid but that is true for most of the Blues except Mckay, one to watch as to how they go as the list does seem unbalanced with missing a couple of ball winning mids and not sure why Setterfield wasnt playing but he and Kennedy can do the grunt work with help from Cripps, Curnow and Walsh and they have some strong outside runners for them to get the ball too
Cameron 8 games 25 goals and building into the season he could be the difference in finals and well done to him if they win a flag this year. Will be greatly missed at the club and I hate seeing him in the hoops but that is the nature of this game and 1 of the disadvantages of the Giants
Not sure how the picks received can be judged yet but Bruhn and Stone debuted and development years for Angwin, Wehr and Fleeton

Setterfield was out injured. Probably allowed Matt Kennedy his spot in the team.

Thought Kennedy was really good. An outside chance to feature in the coaches votes.

That, plus a very cheap shot at Lachie Neale.
The Cats think JC went to them to win a flag.
As tonight shows though, I think the reality is he went there to count cash and reprise his 2020 performance.

It’s really sad what’s happened to Zac, and borderline negligent from a Blues player welfare perspective.
The Blues need to ‘fess up to their trade error before they completely break him.

Two suspensions for Zac and two hammies for TFJ (the former jezza) as well as Corr, Hately and Caldwell having managed 5 games between them .... we would be worse off if last year’s trades hadnt happened
