It all depends on how good Morton, Grimes and Maric turn out to be. Personally I'm wrapped to have maintained our draft picks. I think Morton will be a beauty, and Maric has some serious x factor. From what I've seen, he reminds me of Nathan Brown (Richmond Version) Grimes sounds perfect, so how can we lose!
How do you quantify 3 very good players (If that's what they turn out to be) in a trade for a superstar.
Carlton would justify their decision by increased membership and sponsorship alone. Their tanking gifted them the xtra draft pick they needed, and even with high picks, their recruitment hasn't been good enough justify hanging onto anything past the first round. This, with Kennedy not showing enough means Carlton would feel like they haven't really lost anything for him.
I just hope Masten, Kennedy and Notte make Carlton questions their trade in the years to come. Carlton only knows how to win premierships one way; Buy them!
