To be fair that take is way more rational than what just happened

Ah ok, we're all on the same page now.
That’s there plan for sure except for bottoming out.
Getting Owies and Baker isn’t about losing.

They have no plan.
14 for Baker in isolation is fine, as Freo were sitting back with pick 10 ready to pounce.
12 and Baker for 3 though? That's quite smelly given the Eagles are meant to be in full rebuild mode and they could've got a lot more than that for pick 3 had they not already committed to Baker. Eagles should've walked and force Baker to wear purple.

Yet, watch them draft another midfielder lol. The best small fwd in this draft is Kako who'll be in red & black. Maybe Murphy Ried or Joe Berry but that may be a waste at 3.
They're probably targeting Lalor. Play him as a fwd until Cripps is done in there.

My take on this:
Carlton - Has essentially given up a F1 to move into the top 3 of a strong draft. I think it's a good move but it's a decent price and clearly the Blues need to nail this pick. Not at all worried about losing Owies.
Richmond - It'll hurt them to see a great servant of the footy club playing elsewhere, but they gain a good pick to help kick start the rebuild.
West Coast - Baker and Owies will both be good for them over the next few years. It's not a great return for a top 3 pick, but it's not a complete disaster.

Okay, well now whoever you draft at pick 3 is going to be compared to Houston.
He's going to be compared to the players selected with the 12 and 14 picks.
He's going to be compared to the players selected with Carlton's future 1st and 2nd rounders.
A lotta pressure for that kid, because Carlton have given up a lot to get him. At least Houston is a known commodity.
So, still doesn't make sense to me.

If they can land Bo Allen at 12 (14), I think they won't mind. His the best WA prospect and a safe one. Will play along side Ried in midfield for years to come.
So the 15 picks you gave away are going to be compared to JHF?
Carlton would like Houston but the ridiculous price Port have put on his head which is their right made it not viable. We have a number of players that can play across half back and believe getting as high in the draft as possible is the best thing for us.
JHF? What? When we traded for JHF we knew who we were trading for? I'm confused at that.
It's not a ridiculous price put on his head if you look at what others are fetching. You guys gave up a ridiculous amount for a single draft prospect, of course he's going to be compared to what you missed out on.
Edit: Look at Liam Stocker, you guys gave up a future first just to get him. Was he ever NOT known as the guy Carlton traded a lot for?

I think it's the other way. 3 for 12, 14 and Owies is maybe a slight loss. It's 14 for Baker that makes this deal bad for West Coast.
West Coast lose, Carlton have done well, Richmond are the big winners out of this trade.

Makes zero sense from the Eagles.
Either picks 12 and 14 are worth a lot this year so 3 for 12 and 14 makes sense.
Or pick 14 isn't worth much so handing it over for an uncontracted Baker makes sense.
But both of these things can't be true.
Just horrendous trading from them.

Maybe the Lions should have asked the question about Pick 3 for Dev Rob, Crazy Eagles may have accepted.
Don't forget the future 2nd.
Still looks a good deal as long as you nail the pick. If the pick ends up average, or the wheels fall off next year it suddenly looks pretty average.

Every football fan with teeth would take pick 3 over Dan Houston.
Sure, but they gave up 2 x 1sts, 1 x 2nd and Matt Owies for pick 3... not Dan Houston.
Dan Houston wouldn't have cost them the above.

Yeah that's pretty much what I said isn't it?
If Eagles had have got 14 + something else decent for Barrass, given that 14 to us and kept 3 then the Eagles fans would be nowhere near as outraged. Even though the price for Baker remained the same.
