I have been very critical of Austin for not being aggressive enough and moving the talent dial. Whether you are for or against the outcome of this trade period, for Carlton, at least, we pursued a defined objective to fill holes, get passed average or players surplus to needs and bring in generational talent. This compares favourably to the scatter gun approach of trading out top 10 picks for players and pinning our hopes on 2nd & 3rd round draftees There is always a chance of pick 3 not working, although unlikely. However at least Austin has swung the bat
