Not thrilled with Saad deal. I think that's clearly overs.

But no point getting too upset. He is exactly what our backline needs.

Deal is done now. Welcome to Carlton, Adam Saad

- future Carlton HBF premiership player

THIS.

Saad and Zac W. are both A grade players, both are comfortably in our top 10 players and both will make a huge difference to our onfield performance.

Pick 8 in this draft - meh....

 

[Red Bull]

Folded from a position of strength if that is indeed the deal.
Disgusted in the club ...

 

[an unbiased carlton man]

Pathetic? We just got the best running defender in the game! Think peak Heath / Rhyce Shaw

- think JJ or Houli that can actually hit a target! Saad is HUGE! I am over the moon to finally see this bloke in Navy Blue.

With Docherty and Saad on our HBF, Newman - who is a good HBF in his own right becomes a depth player. We've upgraded our 2019 HBF's from Simpson / Newman to Docherty (AA) and Saad (Future AA)

Welcome to Carlton you beautiful man!

Now, let's get Fogarty done and tick off an A+ trade period.

 

[crocodilian]

I like the deal, we wanted next years 2nd but give away a third, have not lost that 3rd but gained another 3rd. Pick swap coming up with Dogs I reckon

 

[4thchicken]

Cant say I'm a huge fan of the deal but remains to be seen what else is done

Currently picks 8, 29, 48, 50 and 78 - Given reduction in list sizes, I cant see us using pick 78 in the draft. Given earlier indications of desire to strengthen next years draft hand, perhaps 48 + 78 for a future pick?

 

[ferrisb]

This deal makes me very saad

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Only way I can stomach this deal is if Geelong have said they'll accept 48 for Fogarty.

 

[RPCB]

You do know pick 8 will be pushed back out of the top 10 after all the academy pushbacks right?

Yes we paid slight overs but hardly fleeced for a player very close to making the AA team.

He is a great pick up.

Yep, and won’t * now have a points deficit for next years super draft that will move their first round pick down? Similar to what has happened to Fremantle this year after having picks 7, 8 and 9 last year?

 

[2SOS]

Dont love it but its not the worst. Lets see what we do with 48 now

 

[WeninRome]

The real win here was that we held onto our future picks - next year's draft is better plus will not be impacted as much by academy picks and COVID.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Ok, lets move on
Offer 27 to Sydney for Hewitt

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

Risky offseason. I’m happy with it but we have taken two pretty big risks in Williams and giving up 8 for Saad.
Hopefully we have something up our sleeves with the picks we have.

 

[DamianBis]

This is not a good draft. We are getting Saad and Fogerty for pick 8.

If we pay pick 48 for Fogerty we've then overpaid twice.

Fogerty has shown 0 at AFL level and has been injured his whole career. worth a 4th rounder or a 3rd/4th round upgrade.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Umm 8 and 87 for 48 and 78... we blinked

 

[La Dispute]

The other way we can stomach the deal is we just took one of Essendon's best players, and their backline is now completely decrepit.

 

[DamoESP]

lol gave up pick 8 after all that posturing....what a joke.

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

Ok, lets move on
Offer 27 to Sydney for Hewitt

He would cost a first

 

[ctwenty1]

This is how I feel as well.
Not that bothered we didn't get a 2nd rounder back, particularly in this years draft.
And we still have next years future 1st.

Welcome to the footy club Adam.

I thought we were holding out for a future second. Trade is unfavourable to us but not significantly.

But can’t help but to feel pissed

 

[CFC_#17]

Unfortnately, we didn’t have a lower pick than 8. I don’t like the deal either but one plus I can think of is that we didn’t trade our future first, so we have that currency next year for our big trade in 12 months.

We move on and that means enjoying Adam Saad

’s football for the next 5+ years.

As if we couldn’t of done a trade with either Brisbane or Geelong and still ended up with a better pick then 48.

Austin is weak as piss and was to afraid of upsetting Dodoro. Look at the Saints last year with Brad Hill we want your first, sorry we traded it how’s this pick now.

 

[Macca43]

Didn't we offer this deal a week ago?

Seems about right to me.

 

[Healer]

Time for a call to the club to vent my spleen........pathetic

Geez, the receptionist will be having a panic attack.
Have a heart.

 

[CJMB]

still hasn't appeared in the trade tracker, lets see if Riley is on the money

 

[Ninja Worrier]

Ok, we will take the pick port has offered for fanta
'No no no we want more than that for fanta'

Not according to their whiteboard !

 

[Quazza]

Glad it's done

But meh
