So, considering that he's now going, how many of those people who thought we should have taken him still think it would have been a good idea?

Not many I bet.

Considering he only lasted 1 and a half years at Adelaide, I don't.

Could have been the difference between a preliminary final and premiership last year, we will never know?

If that had been the case, one year at the club would have been fine by me.

and what did the crows have to give up to get him for one and a half years of injury and non-performance? IIRC, Kane Johnson and some draft picks were part of some big swap.

He MAY have been the difference last year, but I'd prefer to stick with Roosy's plan to build a team from the ground up. We've had plenty of those "top-up" years and its won us nothing so far.

those draft picks equalling one daniel wells

i was hoping to scream at him one last time

"CAREY IS A WANKER" wouldve been a good send off!

Yes, he was a great player but IMO he got away with blue murder more often than not on the field thanks to the umpiring fraternity.
Goodbye & Good Riddance!!
