NAB Challenge: Carlton vs. Essendon Sunday 28th Feb

Its all relative though.

That particular draft crop are not showing much at the moment.

We might have jagged a Nakia Cockatoo, but even he hasnt shown all that much just yet.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but at the time we traded a pick that in the past had secured Sellwood, Rich and Ryder for what looks to be three pedestrian footballers.
We had no way of knowing whether pick 7 would bring us a Sellwood or a Mitch Thorpe, but historically pick 7 is a good player more often than a dud.
The trade may ultimately work in our favour, it's the decision making process behind it that I question.
