Gibbs requests trade to Adelaide

[Sam_Malone]

So can Free Agent papers be lodged today? ....on a Sunday?

As far as I know, in Ricky Henderson case, the club he is going to will inform the Crows list manager they have issued a Free Agency Contract and then they have 3 days to counter that offer or allow him to become a RFA.

That closes 5pm Wednesday

We actually have a few fans.

It's about a half dozen of you, rehashing the same crap over and over

Sorry, their message is a bit unclear - but essentially, we won't know the outcome until after the clubs have decided if they'll match or not by Wednesday:

When does the 2016 NAB AFL free agency and trade period start and finish?
Here are the indicative key dates for this year's exchange period:

Friday October 7 - NAB AFL restricted free agency offer and unrestricted free agency period begins

Monday October 10, 10am* - NAB AFL Trade Period begins

Sunday October 16, 5pm - Close of NAB AFL restricted free agency offer and unrestricted free agency period

Wednesday October 19 - NAB AFL restricted free agency matching offer three-day period ends

Thursday October 20, 2pm – NAB AFL Trade Period closes

I gather so, otherwise free agency would have finished last Friday...

Probably just processed by the afl on Monday.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I thought it was the 19th?

EDIT:

Clubs will be able to make official offers to free agents on Friday, October 7 and have until Wednesday, October 19 to match offers.

Sunday October 16, 5pm - Close of AFL restricted free agency offer and unrestricted free agency period

Wednesday October 19 - AFL restricted free agency matching offer three-day period ends

So there must be people in the AFL Head Office working today, to accept the lodgement of papers??

No matching for hendo as unrestricted, so we will know the outcome today.

Emails can be sent at anytime...

Any word of whether he has found a club?

So guessing that come Monday, an email with a date / timeline preceeding the 5pm deadline, would be acceptable? .....makes sense

We will know by the end of the day any club that wants him will take him as an FA, they would be dumb not to

Would of thought so.

At least the pies won't have an issue with the fax jamming...

It's a misconception that Carlton has no top end talent. Our top players have been as good as most teams across the journey. It's our bottom 6-10 players that are the problem, and have been for a good decade. No depth at all.

Who are your top end players? I checked recent All Australian teams but couldn't find any clues

Does the Catholic Church make money on a Sunday ?


Of course they can.

 

[Sam_Malone]

No idea - heard a whisper (pardon the pun) it could be GC Tuesday last week but heard absolutely nothing since.

I would be surprised if hendo doesn't find a new club.

The question is whether he is offered enough for compensation.

If Mayne can get an unbelievable deal, surely hendo can get an ok one.

Want to see this one done tomorrow so we can focus on Rocky

3 players? and ones a half back flanker. So finishing 4th. in their B&F is the expectation?

You can disagree, no problem. I expected more from Gibbs the junior. Thought he'd be top 5 in the competition. He isn't and never will be. I rate him, but he's not in the elite group IMO that's all. Going back to what I said. He's an upgrade on Lyons, but not a huge one IMO.

Has been stuck at a bottom club with crap coaches for most of his career. If he'd come to us to begin with it would have been a different story. If he comes home now having a balance between football and his home life will only benefit his game, just like it has helped that guy who plays for Geelong now lift his game to a new level since he moved home. I think if he comes home he'll be a new player entirely for us just as Eddie was when he left Carlton.

So RFA effectively ends on Wednesday.

Will we delist Hendo if no one picks him up?
