Traded Bryce Gibbs [traded to Adelaide] - (cont. in Part 2)

[james Dean]

Do they not teach kids about contracts and law in South Australian schools?

 

[Navara79]

But but but but he's contracted and he's our best player

You're learning. Gold star for you

 

[SickQwon]

But but but but he's contracted and he's our best player

This kind of sarcasm reminds me of the Richmond supporters last year when they thought they were getting Yarran for pick 33 or a 3rd rounder

Well your Govt clearly doesn't know how they work, so why would you guys?

But you can keep the power on, I'll give you that.

What's a Yarran? You're lucky he's gone for whatever you got for him

DangerSloane, you are incredibly antagonistic


you're not the only one, granted, but for some reason your posts stick out like dog's balls....

stop the chest puffing

 

[EddieEddieeee!]

Delete your account.

No way, the Mods have already done that to my last 3, i'm running out of email addresses!

I wonder why. lol.

Sauce you threw out the door, saying he was your 4th best ruckman. Shame he was actually your best by a mile.
Betts you had the chance to pay up for, and refused to.

Both of those are 100% carltons fault. End of story. Nothing to do with Adelaide 'screwing you over'

We had incompetent ****turds in charge of making those decisions.

Not the case anymore.

You guys were chasing Betts and effectively poached him for nothing. We should've been given more for Sauce.

You hold no bargaining power in the Gibbs trade.

I just don't understand the reasoning here. You guys don't want to give up good picks or players but want to bring in a talented player like Gibbs.

He will go for overs or he will stay with us.

This hurts me to quote this guy, but:

And this is it really, all getting too wound up and taking offence at offers. I very much doubt Carlton will be grabbing Lever, Crouch etc in a deal for Gibbs. The whole point of Adelaide landing him is to push them into premiership contention, taking out best 22 players doesn't really help that.

Carlton really want low picks and lots of them, I'd guess we are looking at a first and second, either this year or next.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

I still can't get over SOS laughing at us offering pick 13 and Lyons. Clueless flog.

 

[Benno355]

He will be worth what Adelaide is willing to trade him for. No more, no less.
You can't directly compare the Mitchell trade with the proposed Gibbs trades. As plenty of others have brought up, Gibbs is contracted. Doesnt make him worth more, but Mitchell being un-contracted means Sydney had to take what the Hawks were willing to offer.

This hurts me to quote this guy, but:

Kane showing the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in the thickness department.

When are South Australians gonna stop being trolled by the Cornes family???

Sorry to be bearer of bad news but Stephen Trigg is probably the most incompetent administrator in the game. And a w***er to boot.

Approximately half of the players traded last year were under contract.

If players want to move clubs, they nearly always get their way.

 

[Benno355]

If players want to move clubs, they nearly always get their way.

There are also plenty of examples where a player and a club openly talk about a trade with it not eventuating.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Using other trades to determine ones value is such a flawed argument.

For example: L. Henderson (Pick 16), C. Yarran (Pick 19), J. Melksham (Pick 25), T.Bell (Pick 21)

Gibbs is light-years beyond these players in ability and experience. But its not a fair baseline on players worth.

The number of years left is also a factor along with the quality of the player.

 

[blueboy25]

This hurts me to quote this guy, but:

this is the same guy that said Gibbs was worth pick 14 and a good player a day ago.

I take your point....but he is like Warren Buffett so far, compared to our lot over the last decade.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

There are not too many examples where a player has said they want to return home & were denied v being traded.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Thats ok, then you'll end up with a McCarthy situation.

Paying him for the next two years while he sits back sipping a latte at an Adelaide cafe.

Yeah of course, Gibbs will be sipping lattes in Adelaide.

Get off your high horse, you're not getting him unless we are satisfied with what you offer.

 

[DERIBERATE]

This kind of sarcasm reminds me of the Richmond supporters last year when they thought they were getting Yarran for pick 33 or a 3rd rounder

This smug attitude reminds me of when Carlton supporters thought they would get our first rounder for a player we didn't want

SOS will be the one who will be deciding what we accept. So pay up or go after someone else.

Haha!!
