Absolutely, the vast majority of us saw it as an upgrade. It might still prove to be the case.I don’t think it’s right to celebrate Shultz trade at start of the year and then bag the trade now. If you were never a fan of the trade, fine, bag away. But I feel there’s a lot of Derek Hindsight Campaigners on this site.

Give our circumstances, the trade was fine and undertaken with the right intent. Carlton were also keen on Schultz and he might be the missing piece for them.
As a player Schultz is decent and brings forward pressure - when he isn't playing the ball pings out of forward line. We are a better team when he is playing.
However, if we decide to change tact and go into a rebuild phase then the trade and what we gave up will look worse.
Im wouldn’t have too much of an issue with that, the issue is Pendles and Sidey probably would.Why wouldn't you want Pendles and Sidey on $400k each playing and coaching in the VFL until they are 40?
AFL culture is very agist. All I've heard this week is how we are too old and slow. I find it hard to believe that we're playing the way we are because of Pendles and Sidey's sudden decline.
I would argue the NHL is an equally physical sport that requires better burst agility than AFL.
Yet, in the NHL, clubs keep older guys around on low salaries to develop youth, provide 4th line depth and playoff experience.

They would have a far bigger impact on our list than a random rookie pickup.
Not against balancing our list profile in the off season, particularly in the contested footy department, but I hope we don't get pressured into letting go of these two legends too easily. Their influence is immense.
No NHL salaries are low. They stick around and earn heaps more than they would if they retired - that's not the case with "low" AFL salaries.AFL culture is very agist.

very tact (tack) ful ..well said!
Agree - and would add the fastest way to develop youth, is too ensure they have experienced mentors and leaders.AFL culture is very agist. All I've heard this week is how we are too old and slow.
