Greetings Earthlings,
This is a bit of a cut and paste job from other regions of cyber-space, but what the heck lets do it anyway. The next two-weeks have been designated as tank-free-talk weeks on Majerczak-Verbeek-5. Things just got out of hand. Anyone caught talking about the t-word get sent to the prison planet McGuane-McKenna-3. The right honourable Mr tommi, how do you deal with this situation on your planet?
To the swapsies:
Since the draft has begun Carlton has had by far the better of the player swapsies between the two teams (games data valid to the end of 2004).
Carlton to Essendon*
Paul McMaster, 1992 Pre-Season Draft, Pick 23, 0 games
Matthew Allan, 2003, Trade, 20 games
Justin Murphy, 2003, Trade, 23 games
Up until last year, Carlton had a proud record of giving 0 games of experience to Essendon* since the beginning of the draft.
Essendon* to Carlton
Glenn Hawker, 1988, Trade, 27 Games
Bevan Smillie, 1991, Nat Draft, Pick 79, 0 games
Glenn Manton, 1995, Pre-Season Draft, Pick 27, 157 games
Jordan Bannister, 2003, Nat Draft, Pick 69, 17 games
Cory McGrath, 2003, Trade, 12 games
The big pickup was Glenn Manton, who served manfully to make the most of his determination and talent.
Of course pre-draft one of the big swapsies was Justin Madden, a most valuable contributor for many years. There must have been others that were significant pre-draft, do any of TC members with more light years under the clock remember other Carlton Essendon* Swapsies?
