Absolutely love this sort of thing and I really enjoy all your rabbit hole pursuits Tez .. Thank you

Very good video Terry. I’m a Geelong man but I love your content and occasionally check out the Fan Cams. Keep up the great work mate.

Great video. It's so easy to not follow these pick trails once the trade is done. Excellent

[Chodders]

Love this. Always thought the Crows would have won the GF in 2017 if they'd come to the table with this trade.

The crowd want more Terry! More! The Jezza departure from Carlton, or the mystery of Tom Williamson.

Really interesting show examining draft picks and trades . It’s a skill set we are slowly developing after years of being very average .

I was gutted when Bryce left. I think his 2017 season was his best for the club.

It all turned out for the best though and I'm glad the club played hardball with Adelaide considering he was contracted.

Damn I lost track early
I think you're saying there was a second shooter and aliens are only watching the footy but not rigging it?
Maybe?

I understand Gibbs reason for leaving, but from a footy stand point it seem to just ruin his career. Considering 16/17 from my memory were his best years. In saying that the long term it seems to have worked out well, not only getting Tom but also if we didn’t trade him probably don’t get Walsh either from that horrible 18 season

Asking to be traded and then returning for one more year?
As a player I am not sure if I could look my Carlton team mates in the eyes at that first training session back at the club.
….but it’s a professional sport and it has been moving in that direction for some time.
The AFL is probably the most tightly regulated sporting code in the world, with drafts and salary caps violating work place and commercial practices.
When you want to expand the sport nationally and control operations from a centralised commission, the players are herded into submission like sheep. I am Not sure why they even have an AFLPA to be honest - I am sure it does some good work for players especially after they retire and for rookies.

We ended up with a long term quality ruckman and in my eyes a match winning weapon.
I am glad the club didnt blink and lose TDK a couple of years ago when vultures from other clubs were circling above Princes Park

So Gibbs really turned into DeKoning, McGovern, and Kennedy? I'll take it. He's not worth anything like that much, so great wheeling and dealing and taking chances by the club. The awkwardness of the 2017 season was worth it, I guess.
