What a hoot - especially with Carlton involved. Do you do standup?Yep.
Gave away Jeff Hogg when his knees were already shot, and received Paul Broderick, Matthew (?) Dundas and Michael Gale.
But... the worst trade of all time?
Worst trade ever?
That's easy. Pick 16 and 46 to Geelong for Carlton to get Stephen O'Reilly who played 12games. AND Carlton had to pay him illegally outside the cap. AND he blew the whistle. AND Carlton had to pay a fine. AND Carlton got kicked out of the draft and had to recruit hacks. AND it meant that the multi-million investment in Denis Pagan was a waste because he had no players.
Stephen O'Reilly for - Pick 16, pick 46, $1m fine, pick 1, 2, 17 and 33 in the 2003 draft, pick 1 in the 2003 PSD, 1st and 2nd round picks in the 2004 draft.
I reckon that would have the Pitura trade covered by a couple of laps of Flemington, then a trip down the highway for a run round Caulfield, before a backtrack to run the length of the Moone Valley straight.
Carlton then decided tanking was a GOOD THING. (Not that tanking occurs of course....)
