Sos tried to save face by picking up all the GWS rejects he brought to the club by giving them a chance at Carlton. Unfortunately most haven't worked out. Marchbank wasn't in the same boat as clearly was a good player and they traded hard for him.
Lamb, Sumner and Palmer were only ever salary dumps. We had list space and salary cap space to burn. GWS had guys that weren't getting a lot of games, but chewing up a chunk of salary cap and the squeeze was on. They needed to offload them, but couldn't afford to pay them out.
Marchbank, Plowman and Kennedy will be 10+ year players for us. If none of the others ever do/did anything in their time with us, those 3 are still worth the price we paid. Pickett was looking likely best 22 before he got injured and if he stays healthy, could be another 10+ year player.
Completely different to getting guys like Mayne, Wells, J White and Q Lynch over on big money.
