I want Luke Delaney at Carlton. Seeing some posters say he is worth pick 40-50?
Straight swap for Laidler.
Both want out. Both are nearly identical in all areas except height, and role in defense. Laidler plays a more 3rd man up/general style role. Dislocated his kneecap several times in 2012 and was poorly managed by Carlton. Tried up forward by Malthouse who acknowledged we have too many back flankers (McInnes, Duigan, Bootsma, White, Davies), later in the season, had a screw removed from his knee, and played well in defense.
Comparison of stats:

Same age, same number of games played, same round in the draft, Laidler has a higher disposal and mark count than Delaney, which can be attributed to having a more rebouding style role.
