You realise that Macreadie, McKay and Cuningham are better players than Signorello, Himmleberg, Poholke and struggled to get games at the Blues?

Just because you have an ageing AFL side doesn't make your youth better lol
Lol, way too early to judge all these young players.

Given the respective state of our teams, your younger players are likely to be blooded earlier.

Let's revisit in a few years, but the 3 Crows players you mentioned are developing nicely in the SANFL. Polholke has already had a contract extension.

Your 2nd next year will probably be 32+ now that its our pick.
Our 2nd next year will probably be around 20 now that its your pick.

All 2nd round picks arent equal.

Great you got Kennedy. Don't know why you think he'll fix your issues though. He's a mid level player at best.
Do you not read before responding? Seriously this response is just babbling shit that has already been answered in the post you quoted.
 
Since the Kelly thread was closed because he re-signed, maybe this one can be too since the trade was completed?

Well until some of your mates understand that your 2nd pick and our 2nd pick are likely miles apart, then I will continue to repeat the same shit.

Also Kennedy wont just become a star overnight, sorry to say.

When you understand that it isn't our 2nd vs your 2nd it is our 2nd + 3rd vs yours and the Bulldogs 2nd.

The trade only happened because of what we were able to get from the dogs, it was essentially a 3 way trade.

Kennedy played 16 games in a top 4 side, he already is a good footballer let us worry about him becoming a star thanks.

'already a good footballer'
Yes but he would've played about 5 games had GWS had a fit side all season.

And I could say you traded Lever and a second rounder for Gibbs and a swap of this year’s first rounder for the Dees first next year, an upgrade of 2018 second and third round picks and future fourth round future pick

This is just as true as a scenario involving Cameron, but it’s probably better not to overthink it and just stick with what the deal actually comprised of, rather than all this mental acrobatics.
Why? Always look at the bigger picture in regards to trades

We would have picked Fogarty if we had pick 10 anyway, so the trade is basically Gibbs, 21 (possibly) and 39, both those picks in a stronger draft than this year, for Cameron, Ed Richards and pick 35. That’s a great deal for us.

That's funny i do seem to recall the Crows board calling SOS and Carlton idiots and stubborn etc for demanding '2 x 1st round picks' for Gibbs last year...despite the fact those picks would have been 13 and and around 17.

But no, Crows fans kept trotting out '2 x 1st rounders'. Not all 1st rounders are equal.

He wanted 2 first rounders outright.
Not 1 first rounders with two small pick downgrades.
This is not a fair representation of what SOS wanted, or what was said.

Once again if you pay for a $50 item with $100 you didnt pay $100 when you get $50 change.

The fact pick 12 is what you had at the draft shows Cameron had nothing to do with this trade. Far more accurate to say that Lever was part of the trade than Cameron. Or you can just look at what the trade actually was. I understand that some feel the need to rationalise what the Crows handed over for Gibbs, just don’t expect those of us who don’t to lap it up as fact. The trade was straight forward and the ultimate values won’t be known for a year.
