If the trade goes through, Carlton have been sitting on this at least two years.
They were informed by their people on the ground in Adelaide (a highly trusted source within Carlton) on how Eddie had sorted his life out and settled down following his move to Adelaide and the role he had played in mentoring the likes of Cameron, Milera and others aboriginal players in Adelaide.
Eddie going to Carlton is more about him helping Carlton get the best out of Petrovski-Seaton, Le Bois and Gartlett.
Sure him playing AFL or VFL along side them and showing them the ropes will be a bonus. The are marketing benefits too as others have alluded to.
This deal for him at Carlton will also include an off-field role post footy.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
