So I just noticed the AFL have panicked & are taking a heap of GWS's extra salary cap space off them. Any chance this Marchbank deal becomes another salary dump? That'd be perfect.
I thought the same thing when I heard this report this morning. Gotta be a good thing for us.
 
could the 5th player be Adam Kennedy or Kelly or maybe Downie with the view of trading out the Krooz ?
Downie hasn't really progressed over the last 2 seasons, so he's in the same basket as Phillips really.

Our 22 would suffer immensely with the two of them in it. He's also been mentioned on here before a few times, so there's a good chance he's not in the mix.
 
Remember EP also said last week, if it's #5 we need to think laterally about also picks coming back, including possibly future picks.

He also said #13 alone won't be enough for Gibbs.

Everyone needs to breathe a little.

The Age has just reported that we asked about Matthew Kennedy, but GWS rejected the deal. (Sorry zeecfc).

If we pick up Marchbank(injured), Pickett(injured), Ahern(injured) for pick 5 then it is imperative we do another group deal and trade our 2nd for these guys....

Whelp, that's the last time I take your draft analysis seriously

I guess that makes us even after your analysis:) of Taranto;)

Look, we all have our opinions here. If we trade Gibbs for Pick 13, do you think we are doing it because it disadvantages us?

I knew stating the harsh truth about Gibbs' worth wouldn't be popular, but it seems like it is what it is. Which is about where i expected it.

These pipedreams demands of 2 first rounders or 13 and McGovern or Cameron have been making me laugh.

13 for Gibbs would be accepted by SOS i am pretty sure.

I just hope we don't give up 24 for Lyons as well though.
 
Venting at rumours is like getting angry at ghosts. Utterly pointless.

Findlayson any good? Not suggesting he is the fifth, just someone left field who I have heard good things about.

Surely it would need to be 13 and a player??
Straight swap is a shit trade unless as I mentioned earlier we on trade 13 for someone else we deem as a trade up from Gibbs.

Or we on-trade the pick together with the #15 and #16 that we DEMAND from GWS, for a top 10 pick and another in the early 20's.
If this crap trade is to go ahead, then we have to think outside the square.
Eg; If GC were to get pick 6 for Prestia, we could package #13, and #16 for #6 and #22.
Then we would be within 1 pick of our original selection.
We could then target Powell-Pepper with #22.
Gold Coast would still have #4, #7, #13 and #16.
We would have #6, #15, #22 plus Tuohy pick.
Not my preferred option but we will have to give up something to get a good return.

Are you suggesting that every trade we do is by definition advantageous? That's patently absurd. Each trade must be assessed on its merits. We've won some (Scotland), we've lost some (too many to mention), we've drawn some (Judd).

AFC have an interest in Gibbs because he is an elite ball user coming off one of his best seasons, highly durable and in the prime of his career. His value to them is immense. That raises his trade value.

His value to us may be less, because his prime will not be concurrent with our prime. That has no impact on this trade value.

You're letting your dislike for him get in the way of understanding his true value.
