They've been taking kids for 4 years via the draft and trades, they've delisted dead wood over 28 and need some experience on the list.
With 5 young indigenous players on the list maybe more after this draft/trade, the experience of Betts, the guidance he can offer and the on field draw card is exactly what Carlton need. Imagine he snaffles a GOTY contender early in the year and Carlton are 3-1 after the first month, imagine the hype around them?
I agree. If we threw the kitchen sink at him to get him, then I'd be worried. But for pick 80 odd, why not!
Especially with Adelaide paying some of his salary too. Win win IMO.
I don't get why Adelaide would have to pay some of his salary. If he's wanting to leave & Carlton want him the he should either take a pay cut or Carlton match his current pay. If not then I'd keep him. Same with Jenkins.
You are never keeping a bloke who doesn't want to be there, particularly if the rumors as to why he wants to leave are true ( the Collective Minds Camp ) and you'd think Adelaide have got a bit to thank Betts for.
Jenkins is the interesting one, might be as simple as Daniher out > Jenkins in at Essendon and if not....he might have to stay.
PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
