If Andy McKay had to be summed up in one word it would be "obviously", obviously.

Being the 2nd year of our rebuild i was hoping for 3-4 picks inside 30.
Overall the trade period for us was ok.
Fair to say its a big draft for sos coming up. Needs to nail some nuggets with our late picks.

It was looking like they might be on thin ice until 1:52pm this arvo but I think they are safe now.
I wonder if Clarko called Bolts at 1:50pm asking for us to trade the second rounder as a favour...you know, for being responsible for the career he now has lol
Dont we basically get that with the age and potential upside of both Marchbank & Pickett ??
If both get a good run at it with injuries, they were picks 4 & 6 only 2 years ago and are what 19/20 years old.
Maybe we got that anyway by taking on a 19 y.o. Marchbank and a 20 y.o. Pickett along with #5 & #25.
I know that isn't quite right but it's all relative. 18 year olds aren't always better than 20 year olds.
EDIT: ....and I get gazumped again tonight... Thanks JK!
When I heard we helped Hawthorn get O'Meara.
Hmm.
13 and a future 2nd would have been about par.
I'm a little surprised SOS didn't take that deal, if true.

Ok, just up to speed after spending the day surfing (show day in hobart) and I can tell you it was a lot better for my stress levels than hitting the refresh button every few minutes for eight very looooong days waiting for something to happen, and nothing happening at all...
Very happy to have got marchbank and Pickett and although a lot of people seem to think they unfairly cost more than the other GWS refugees that the Giants gave away like lollies to the other clubs I think it actually means SOS targeted two special talents, worked very hard to get them to nominate us, and that the Giants rated them highly and wanted a fair return. So big plus.
Thought cats bent us over on the Tuohy trade, we should have swapped the dogs third for one of their thirds to even it up a bit, but they had us over a barrell because of the Gibbs stand off so in the big picture, it was had to be done. So a tick.
Not sure why we had to take palmer when we didn't want him according to Ep, didn't seem to me that GWS did us any favours at all. Maybe it was for good will for the future, as was the Hawks deal, and I think that is a good thing. What goes around, comes around, as the crows found out.
Stoked we kept Bryce. We need him.
And in the end, we still have pick 5, against a stack of adversity, which is the great achievement of the period.
Only disappointment is that we let Hrovat slip through our fingers. Only cost the Roos a pick in the 50s. Could have and should have been done in the eight full days they had to do it in.
All in all, an excellent job by SOS and co. Hats off.
Exciting times ahead folks.

Don't think it was offered, I believe pick 50 was offered
Really? I would say incompetent

why?
I would be happy to rate this years trade "week" as good as 2015. SOS did not have the bargaining chips as he did last year and still maintained our first round picks for the next two drafts. On top of this bringing in some top line talent "maybe unproven but so is pick 5".
The cherry is that every other club now completely understands that Carlton are going to be methodical but fair during trade week. No panic deals and certainly won't entertain Rookie attempts to unsettle our contracted players.
Bolded Justin case you can't Reid.

Got so many high fives and hugs from Power supporters after we beat them by a point at Footy Park. They were so happy that we knocked the Crows out of the finals.
It was so odd but I liked it.

Better than getting spat on, right?
No, I prefer 'incompetent' or 'obviously'.
