Which worked out a treat. Didn't over pay and got their man, break it down however you want but give credit where credit's....
I wonder how many carlton supporters were hoping this OP wasnt one, I'd imagine it was the vast majority.
So you'd agree Tim Kelly should've done the same.
It's not a matter of agreeing lol, it's a matter of facts and hindsight. The facts are Carlton played it how they played it and got their man cheap in the end.
Trading is a delicate issue, you want to do what's best for your club by getting the best deal but you can't afford to build a reputation for screwing other people over or it will no doubt be worse for your club in the long run, Geelong have been regarded as a good club to deal with for an extended period of time, it is what it is.
The Kelly insanity was never my thing, please take that bs some where else...If any club can get their target players for cheaper within the rules all the best to them...
Carlton supporters getting ahead of themselves even though...
2019: 7 wins, 15 losses
2018: 2 wins, 20 losses (LOL)
2017: 6 wins, 16 losses
2016: 7 wins, 15 losses
2015: 4 wins, 18 losses
and I couldn't be bothered going back any further. Maybe once they have a season where they get in the double digit wins I'll start to take their rebuild seriously.

This is not an opportunity to bag out Carlton. It’s a place for sos celebration. We could easily post your finals wins over the same time frame:
2019 - 0 wins
2018 - 0 wins.....oh just forget it. I think you get the point.

Yep. Still laughing when that side actually beat Essendon. lol.
Classic Bigfooty.
Fool. SOS PLANNED FOR THIS. He masterminded the 2 win season so he could recruit the second coming of Greg Williams in Liam Stocker you moron.

Carlton supporters have been copping rubbish over SOS’ recruiting for years, to the point we’re completely steeled and immune to it.

Carlton will be worse off without him. Draft night showed he’s surrounded himself with yes men who couldn’t make a decision to save themselves. God help them if Agresta gets more responsibility.

Reckon next time the recruiting team should rotate who gets to call out the draftees player number?
You have absolutely no idea how much input each member of the team has into the selections or machinations of each live trade we’ve pulled the trigger on.

You’re talking rubbish.
In the video put out by the club last year Agresta was talking up Stocker’s kicking skills, pointing back to a specific game they were impacted by blustery conditions. He then goes on to say he thinks Stocker is a better kick on his left than his right.
99% of these guys job is done prior to the draft, and they are aware of the contingencies should players be available or unavailable and which trades will be executed at certain points based on the discussions they’ve had with different clubs prior to the draft. They’re there purely as a sounding board on draft night, and as mentioned, you have no actual idea as to how much they’re contributing.
Taking a few seconds of footage and adjudicating the recruiting team as yes men on this basis is clutching at the straws at best.
I doubt we’d look to promote Agresta in any case, and would be more likely to source a list manager from elsewhere.
So you're happy that the key decision makers are watching a video of their first round pick on draft night, being told by one of their recruiters that the game they're watching was played in blustery conditions, to inform a decision?
For me, I'd expect all of that groundwork to be completed well before the night of the draft.
Take a look at how Sydney go about it on draft night. That is one finely tuned football club.

They were having a very general chat about Stocker while rolling footage, which you’d expect to be pretty common just before taking a player.
The decision had already been made prior to the draft, which they confirmed afterwards having spoken to both Port and Adelaide during the week about organising a trade.
Nice try though.

Essendon have their issues but I'd rather be struggling to win a final than struggling to get out of the bottom 4.
But I'll be happy to revisit this next year or even mid-way through the year when the air has been expelled from Carlton supporters sails when they are sitting in 17th position. There's no coach to sack to relieve the pressure this year.

Isn't there already a SOS thread in the bay ? You should know, you've been trolling it for weeks.
