Where was Gibbs when trade request was happening last year? Not saying Cripps isn't happy but the gram is not what I'd be basing it off.

Braddles & S.O'Rhiley as well if I remember correctly.
I thinl this is part od SOS's drive to rebuild the club. As well as cleaning house to look after his sons.

His parents would make frequent trips but his dad seems pretty involved up in WA businesses/politics while his younger bro is still in school.
His girlfriend did move down though, the wags actually seem like a tighter crew than the playing list!
Don't worry about Cripps. Sheephead rumours aren't the strongest either (and before the rumour gang lose their s**t, you're entitled to read it etc whatever)
Venables was pick 13, they have pick 13 or thereabouts for the next 2 years.
Cripps was pick 13 and they ought to pay triple his original value - still less than the amount we gave up for Judd.

Nope, remember seeing pics on instagram of him in Vegas with Murph, Warnock and others for Murph's Buck's night

Regardless of how accurate or not the Cripps rumours are, we would be pretty naive to think the WA clubs won't come knocking when the likes of Cripps, Fish and Samo come out of contract.

Little bit of Daniel Wells in the movement of Kelly...
Im up for trading Cripps, our non negotiable position is............. 2017 1st & second, 2018 2 x 1st rounder (one pick in the top 4) Gaff, & the other club pays 1/4 of our salary cap for the duration of his contract & Cripps gets a week off every time they play us!
It's now for me.
Since i joined here in 08 thru to the end of 2015 we were a basketcase(any onfield success was a mirage) and the main interest for me really was post-season with the Draft(not just Carlton, which was routinely a disaster, but the draft as a whole). I really embraced the draft as an interest. I enjoy talent spotting as a whole.
2015 and 2016, the interest in Carlton's post season specifically spiked. We really used our moveable pieces and went hard and smart at the draft and a few really nice trades. We set the Club up and i really enjoyed the 2 post seasons.
Now it is time to move onfield. It will still be extremely hard to move up substantially ladderwise next year as nearly every club should be looking to improve next year. Ladder will be very tough. But as a Team, and as individuals inside that team, we will/should see good movement next year........or we are in trouble.
For this off-season i'm fairly unfussed on who we use Pick3 on. It is very even and i'm happy with whoever SOS/Brodie/Bolts pick. I'd be happy with getting Rocky and moving on Gibbs for a 1st Rd'er.
But onfield, i'm really looking forward to seeing what we do next year for pretty much the 1st time since i've been on Bigfooty.
Can't wait.

I would trade WCE for Cripps.
I mean after Mitchell & Priddis retires that makes closer to 40 players for Cripps.
Probably still slightly unders, but if Patty nominates WCE I guess we would settle for it.

Yep this.
They've got no chance unless Cripps himself requests a trade.
I'm with you. I think it's next year for me if we can add some depth to our midfield. We should win 7-8 games next year, no excuses.

3 might be a bit too high for Brayshaw.
Of course he'd say that. A coach isn't going to admit they aren't playing a player because he won't be at the club next year or has other issues.
I mean SEN could still be wrong, but what Cameron says in a press conference means nothing.
I dunno. I think if they offered us a combination of good picks & a player (and if Cripps agreed) SOS would trade him.
I don't want him to go, but being from WA you can bet that this wont be the first time either WCE or Freo come calling.
WCE might make us an offer too go to refuse seeing as though they have just lost Priddis & Mitchell.

Pretty much what this article says too
I agree a coach wouldn't say that they aren't playing somebody because they won't be there next year. However there's no chance that Cameron is going to make his team weaker and keep Smith out of the team on the basis that he won't be there next year. Smith isn't playing because he's injured.

Even entertaining the idea of trading Cripps and coming up with unrealistic trade scenarios is depressing the hell out of me.
It needs to stop, stop I say!
