I’d have thought they’d be pretty ecstatic about the Carlisle trade.

Concur.
If not how stupid they made themselves look while making it.

My boss is a Saints, and regularly says that Carlisle is the only one holding their backline together.

They love him. I’m just waiting for the Honeymoon to be over and for Carlisle to have a massive sulk about playing a position he doesn’t want to play in.

He wants to play in defence. He’ll probably be AA there soonish.

Who thought playing Carlisle in his preferred position would work…

I dunno. It did work in their favour to hold out.

Interesting choice of words…

Did it?
That’s not what I remember, but I am forgetful.

Carlisle plus Gresham, is so much better than Francis plus Bird.

It’s hilarious that there still lingers a belief that we totally got St Kilda in that trade.

That trade is a great result St Kilda but it could still also be a great result for us if Francis turns into a gun. It solely realise on him.

It was a good move to involve Sydney in that trade

What did we give up for pick 6 though? From memory saints got Gresham with the pick they hot from Sydney? So we got pick 5/6 for Carlisle, did we give up anything else?

  • Essendon receives Bird and pick No.5 (Francis), gives up Carlisle and pick No.44 (Tyrone Leonardis), and exchanges pick No.23 (on-traded to WCE (Luke Partington)) for pick No.24 (Alex Morgan);
  • St Kilda receives Carlisle and pick No.14 (Gresham) and gives up pick No.5 and pick No.24;
  • Sydney Swans receive picks No.23 (Partington) and pick No.44 (Leonardis), and gives up pick No.14 (Gresham) and Bird.

Essendon

out: Carlisle, Pick 44
in: Pick 5, Craig Bird

St Kilda

out: Pick 5, Pick 23
in: Carlisle, Pick 14

Sydney

out: Craig Bird, Pick 14
in: Pick 23, Pick 44

So effectively we traded Carlisle for Pick 5, and Bird for 44.

Sydney’s end of that still makes no sense to me
