The most important of all unknowns at the moment. As Scott Cummings said on SEN yesterday morning, no-one has a read on what sort of coach Carr will prove to be at this stage. The narrative is positive so far - change, ruthlessness, hardness, old Port Adelaide. He's saying the right things. He's building an intriguing team around him in a positive sense. He's discharged flaky players who were the antithesis of traditional PAFC culture/attitude. But can he make us more than the sum of our parts with on-field performance, especially in games when it matters the most?
If u ask Kane Cornes, Kenny Hinkley was able to do this, therefore he should have remained as coach, because Daddy is the best.

Rare pleasant surprise from our list management team. The pick swap is pretty good on its own, and I actually like Durdin.
He passes the eye test when I've seen him play, although I realise that's subjective. Objectively, his stats this year look shit but that's because he spent most of the second half in a sub vest. This is his first 6 games.
9 disposals, 1.5 goals and 3 tackles a game is better than plenty of the small forwards not named Rioli we've had stinking it up for us for the last few years.

We will have the opportunity to pick him up.
I don’t see Victorian or interstate clubs coming after him.
I don’t see the crows being interested.
Port Adelaide are his best hope of getting drafted.

#19 isn't very bright!!
That was my lasting takeaway from Rd 23 2022 when Carlton had to win to make the finals, which then became Carlton only has to draw to make the finals and Collingwood ended up winning by 1pt in their typical 2022 come from behind and pinch a win style. Carlton in the end missed making finals by 0.48% or about 8pts.
Cripps took a pack mark 20m out from goal mid way thru the last quarter with Carlton about 20 pts up. The umpire paid Collingwood a free, for a Carlton player pushing a Collingwood player, but the chain reaction started with a Collinwood player shoving that Carlton player and the umpires missed it. I said after that dodgy free, that Collingwood will probably win, but Carlton can play for a draw and still qualify for the finals.
Collingwood kept kicking goals and not missing and when the difference was 17, then 11 pts the difference, I thought Carlton just has to score a single point and its probably a draw.
Durdin had 3 chances to score a point or to help his team scored a point in the last 6 or 7 minutes of the quarter.
1 shot he had for goal he sprayed the ball wide and either it went out on the full or was punched out near the point post. Another shot didn't make the distance and the last one, after Elliot put the pies in front, he marked the ball with a minute to go 55m out and went for the perfect pass wide in the pocket, it went straight to a pies player, when if he had of just banged in long, there was a big chance if would have come off hands and been rushed for a behind and scores tied up with 50-60 seconds to go.
The upside was that he got his hands on the ball and had 3 chances to score or affect the score late in the game when the heat was on. As much as I came away from the game thinking #19 isn't very bright, it actually was the experienced Carlton players who weren't very bright and let a 24pt 3/4 time margin slip away.

So that’s why Bigdog wasn’t first to break the news. His phone was broken.

It’s funny, but I’m 99% sure he’s a troll account.
47 premierships in his bio is a dead giveaway.

His phone literally blew up with trade news from inside sources.

Good luck to Durds.
I never really warmed to him as a player at senior level, but from all reports he’s a great guy.
And his relationship with his sister is really special. You’ll love it, if you’re not already familiar with it.

What does our draft capital look like next year after this trade?

I saw a 2023 highlights package and he had a number of elite moments. Jed is not on the same level.

You would want to be pretty confident the small forwards in this draft are busts.
If Sumner-Pickett becomes the next Ryan, Stengle or Rioli then swapping draft picks around doesn't help us much.

If they're good Id say they are unlikely to be there at our pick. We might get lucky, but then we might get lucky with Durdin and he might come good - its an absolute gamble either way.
He plays with an energy I like, hope he goes well for us.
Seems like a pretty good trade even though Durdin appears allergic to the ball he is an upgrade on you know who.
