Gibbs requests trade to Adelaide

[1990crow]

Trigg and Noble are gone though

Noble is gone?

Noble is gone?

I'm waiting for confirmation

Our reputation for being 'good and fair' traders might be hurting us here.

Carlton are holding out knowing that we will offer someting even 'gooder and fairer'

Carlton may be a bit behind the times then. Did they not hear Trigg doesn't work for the AFC anymore?

Yes and at the time, the chances of it happening were very slim. The Lions had to agree to pay a certain part of his outstanding salary and decrease their asking price.

The figure i'm hearing is 40% of his $800,000 they need to cover and only accept a second round pick as a trade.

When everyone on this site was saying - pay it all ($800,000 over 3 years) and hand over a first round pick. It was never going to happen.

But now, the Lions are talking about a second round pick and have openly accepted paying some of his salary.

If that's the case, then sign the ****ing papers and get him in

If we were to get Charlie Cameron or McGoven plus 13 for Gibbs it would be massive overs. Can't see it happening.

I agree. Even 13 is too much. Adelaide should lower their offer just to show Carlton who's boss.

Dear for Gibbs.

Every morning over the past 5 days, opening this thread is like deja vu.

Someone says - I can not see the Gibbs trade happening
Someone replies - yes it will
Someone else says - I hope your right

Yet, every day nothing has changed. No comment has been made from either club and the only narrative getting written is by Rucci.

Therefore, we have a number of "crow posters" who are trolls and posting stuff to create a negstive feeling, we have a number of negative and naive posters who are just soap licking sour pusses who only ever see the glass as half full or rucci has 15 different accounts.

Brisbane only want to pay 25% - $200,000

Not as good, but i'd still do that for Rocky

600K for someone of his calibre in our system.... winning

I've said before, the longer the deal drags on without Carlton having done the GWS deal, the more it helps us.

If they get the GWS done without the Gibbs trade then it evens out again or swings their way.

But if both deals are hanging, the more likely it is Carlton will need this trade to help the other and they won't be missing out on both deals so won't be able to dig their heels in as much

(Eg without 13 they need to deal 5 which is what GWS will be working deals around. If getting 13 allows them to keep 5 and land Marchbank they will need to act otherwise they walk away from both deals empty handed or lose a top pick which would be worth more than whatever steak knives they are going to get from us)

Hence why we went public on Monday morning and Carlton are apparently furious about that. We knew they had to deal with GWS and this makes GWS aware that there is more on offer maybe to them. It forced Carlton to play to our tune.

Maybe we don't have that extra $160,000 within the salary cap.

Possibly a reason why we want them to pay a bit more

We could always say if they pay 40%, we give them a 2nd rounder and a Lyons/CEY/Mackay (please) type?

 

[skittlebrew]

Brisbane only want to pay 25% - $200,000

Meaning after negotiations 30-35%
Makes sense now they are willing to let him go for less than a first rounder, they need to get the cash off the books.

We actually have a few fans.

Or might not. We know nothing.

Or we will renegotiate Gibbs contract and we wish to have enough to get thst done

 

[Crowked]

I agree with that assessment. I don't mind keeping 13 and Lyons. Gibbs isn't a big upgrade on Lyons, just marginally better and significantly older.

 

[Wood_Duck]

200 pages. Wowee.

Did you count them one by one or was the page number the give away?

Seems like a pretty attractive offer imo.
Werent there rumours brisbane were into CEY before? I know he is contracted but he might be tempted given he would have so much opportunity up there, whereas that door is very much closing here.

 

[Pdub]

I think once both clubs know there will be no compensation for Henderson they will start moving towards a deal.

If carlton were smart they would have taken Hendo on Gibbs' contract with unreachable triggers for a second year to get a high compensation pick, then get us to give that compensation pick to them. They wont be using their full cap next season anyway.

Say 4years at $600k for hendo but he needs to be All Australian each of those years to trigger.

If we land Rocky and Gibbs for less than our 2 first rounders and some other bits and pieces that is a massive trade period.

Still would like one of HH, Motlop or Hanley to close it out. Perhaps Hanley and Rocky for 1st and 2nd next year (not that Bris would do that...)

200 pages. Wowee.

Would only be 100 if we hadn't had to endure your especially boring moderators repetitive posts

 

[skittlebrew]

Based on the Titchell trade;
Gibbs + 58 for
13 + 53

Take it or leave it.

I was thinking we would give them our first + whatever we got for lyons (possibly a late second). But now im thinking its definitely overs. Tom mitchell has a decade of footy left in him and is worth basically just a first rounder and somehow carlton think 2years of Gibbs is worth more??? Smh

Okay miscreants we're nearing 5,000 posts. Let's recap:

Things that actually happened this week:
Justin Reid said Bryce Gibbs has requesed a trade to us
http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/br...a/news-story/e5a69588b610bcc20ac0f366aacbb9ad

Things that are speculative:
Everything else

Since this thread started last Monday at noon, it is growing at the rate of ~5000 posts / 6 days = 833 posts a day, or 33.3 pages a day.

I can't be assed reading that much.

So i suggest we implement a buddy system.

No, we don't all say we're moving to Western Sydney, move to Sydney at the last minute, crash a car, <injunction> and claim mental health issues*.

Instead, when something actually happens - God forbid - we each tag two other posters, to let everyone know. Then we can go about our lives like normal peop... oh right, we're not normal. Carry on.





* may actually be true, what would i know? It's for comedic effect.
