Just realised, why even employ Nick Austin to be our list manager? We could save some money and just get Chat GPT to do the work for us. hahaha
Prompt: You are carlton's list manager. Analyse AFL player lists for appealing trade targets. Place additional weight on players that have played well against Carlton and/or are Half Back Flankers. Targets must have extensive injury history.
 
It is realistic from their pov...

Don't forget, we demanded 2 first round picks for Gibbs... and ended up getting them...

There's always a few other picks involved, we'd probably get a 2nd back or something like that...

Either way, it's way too much for us to pay.
Who did we end up using the 2 picks from the Gibbs trade on?

We picked up LOB at pick 10.
The other pick received was 16, which we then packaged with pick 40 and traded with WB to split it to get 28, 30 and a future 2nd.
Pick 28 was on-traded for Matt Kennedy.
We used pick 30 on selecting Tom De Koning.

Oliver is going, staying, going and now staying.

Trac is going, staying but apparently still wants to leave.

Absolute shit show at the Dees.
A Regular ‘Hotel California’ is that club.

Picking up Kennedy and TDK not a bad result for Gibbs but could have been a lot better.

LOB was disappointing but that draft class wasn’t great and the idea behind getting him in theory (fast, outside player, good kick) was fine he just didn’t develop how we wanted (could have been our fault too). Most of that first round draft class was disappointing and included Rayner (not worth a number one pick), Stephenson, Clark, Coffield, Bonar, Brander, Matt Ling, etc. Had we taken Cerra or LDU ahead of Dow we would have considered that year a win.

Alas we didn’t and had to give up more for Cerra later. Interestingly Freo turned the Pick 6 we gave up into Jye Amiss (great result for them) and steak knives for their Jordan Clark trade (they have Geelong their pick 22 plus our future third).

GWS did take that pick 28 from Kennedy trade and drafted Sam Taylor so big win for them.

So let me get this right....in summary:
  • we've secured Haynes for a year, no triggers
  • Kennedy staying put at the Blues
  • Young staying put at the Blues
  • Carroll off to WCE
  • nobody wants Owies, so either accept what we're offering or bugger off
  • Houston now in the too hard basket
  • Trac in the way too hard basket
  • SDK apparently wants to come over but staying put for now
  • Membrey a possibilty so we don't have to play against him
  • Papley.....nup
  • Konstanty rumoured to be a target
  • Pies in the box seat for GCS 1st round pick
  • we have a mystery salary dump player who doesn't really move the needle
  • Harry being targeted by the Lions according to some flog journo
  • Austin won't give up our 1st round pick under any circumstances
  • Austin targeting Berry in the draft

Have I missed anything?
