Palmer would make a lot of sense for the 5th. Would be on somewhat decent coin for a guy who isn't in their best 22 for next year. Slides very nicely into our half forward line with some time in the midfield. Pretty underrated the last couple of years.
Only other guy that would make sense from our point of view would be Adam Kennedy. With a few of their other guys emerging in the back half this year he might look for other opportunities. If we lose Tuohy, Kennedy would be an awesome replacement.

I really wouldn't bat an eyelid if Gibbs remains at Carlton. As several rational people have pointed out over the last week, Gibbs will only be traded if Gibbs has a major input into that happening.
He is contracted long term. If he wants to stay, he will stay. Just like Hartlett.
But if he and the club decide to trade him, and recieve Pick 13 for him, i will be content that that is the best we could do and because that is about his mark.
And if the Pick 5 trade for players eventuates, Gibbs is the best way, indeed our only way, to get back highish in the draft.

Dogs made the finals last year and this year, a year that was very even for the top 8 sides, they capitalised by winning one ahead of time.
Unlike the last couple of times we made finals, then dropped out the following year
Nurture and build a group of youngsters to come through together, while having SOME senior players around.
Wondering how the dogs supporters felt when Griffen was traded out for Boyd in the first 18 months of that deal and how the feel now.
That's why a Gibbs trade would not hurt us medium to long term, if the compensation suited our list strategy

Pick 5 we hardly knew you.....
Hope the 5th player in the deal is a decent midfielder......

Agreed. Maybe it's my blue blinkers but Gibbs looks to be incrementally improving rather than plateauing. He would improve even more in a good side, hopefully that side is CFC.
If not, it would want to be a damn, damn good offer.

Apparently he had to get a shave for the interview

One thing to remember with Gibbs. If he does want to leave and he and his other half a driving the move...you'd want them to go. Who wants a Gibbs that doesn't want to be at the club. Over his ten years at the club, he has at times struggled to go hard for the ball. I'd hate to see that gibbs re-surface on the back of a failed player-driven trade.
Just hope it is not the 5th rated player of the 5....
Very negative....
Never once have I heard Gibbs say he wants out.

Exactly Stig. Hopefully it's all just 1 sided talk.

That's what the 'if' word covered. Agree with your point though. I'm just responding to the general rumour and conjecture that abounds. If I don't, I have nothing else to say
EVERY year the Cows offer the million dollar carrot, much more than we pay him, and EVERY year he stays true to our lot.
.....and still gets shit canned.
I really hope we don't trade pick 5 for pick 19 as the rumour I've heard says we will. I can't see why we would downgrade our pick by 14 spots. I really think we could get something more than pick 19 for pick 5.

Finlayson was one I looked over and was surprised to see how much he's improved this year, but ruled him out because we were already angling for Corr. Not that I'm discounting your info, just that they're pretty similar players last I checked.
Not sure how I feel about #5 for those names. I mean they're collectively worth more than it, but what's to stop us from giving this and next year's second round picks? Would be stoked if we can swing it so that at least #7 comes back the other way.
This also means Tuohy is going, because we've just brought in two HBFs (albeit one can play forward).
Also, Flynn's not going to give much of a shake of it at AFL level as a centre bounce ruck, and I'm not sure the rest of his game is that impressive. NEAFL form is heavily discounted, and rightfully so.
Essentially they can go into the PSD if their club refuses to delist them voluntarily, and that comes after 3 DFA periods.

If the 5th is Downie, we could move a ruckman to someone, say west coast, for Duggan and Lamb

I can understand you being frustrated and I'm not keen on losing #5 for who I had Brodie/Taranto at, but we do have to wait to put things on the scales at the end of the trade period/draft and not before the doors have even opened up.
Last year looked tragic on face value, in losing Henderson, Yarran, Bell & Menzel.....but how did that work out?
No point being pissed for another couple of weeks yet........Just sit back and relax.
Well not to me it didn't. I was glad we offloaded those pea hearts in Hendo, Yarran and Menzel and it actually surprised what we got in return (even though I was pushing for Yarran to go for #12, #19 wasn't a bad result). Bell was a different story, surprised we got a second round pick but he had to go and no one blamed him for it, it was a great trade.
#5 would've given us a shot at Brodie/Taranto. Had we been smart, we could've tried to get another top 10 pick, even if we give up our 2017 1st. I've really leaned towards doing that because if it gets us #6 from GC then we can pick up both Brodie and Taranto. Our midfield would be boosted quite a bit with the addition of those two alongside Cripps, that's 3 young gun mids. Exactly what we need all maturing together with Cripps leading the way.
But those plans can go up in flames now mate. Waiting to see what it's for isn't going to help. Unless it's for one of the guys I mentioned which we all know it won't be.
I believe that's incorrect, the premise is that any uncontracted player can nominate for the PSD as it's a lotto and they aren't necessarily guaranteed to get what they want
