Gibbs requests trade to Adelaide

[Cleric]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing

We are all judged on it.

 

[Cleric]

if you think relying on our current midfield or our lack of genuine midfielders in the SANFL to improve is good enough to win a flag your nuts will need more stars.

Bringing in Gibbs is not going to get us a flag. Giving up two first rounders to get him WILL hurt our chances of a flag in the future.
Pretty simple really.

Gibbs alone would not have made any difference to us beating Sydney in the semi and progress further.

Your take on this article?....What they say Lyons was on this year and a hint at what his management are looking at to re-sign?

Poles apart from what some on here were saying he was on this year though I don't recall it being linked to any articles etc to back it up?

At this stage it appears more likely Lyons will head to an interstate club rather than back home to Victoria via a trade, although remaining at the Crows is not out of the question.

It’s believed he was paid approximately $350,000 this year. However, averaging 22 disposals in 20 games for a team that made a semi-final has only strengthened his market value, something that is yet to be reflected in Adelaide’s offer.

One list manager at a rival club told foxfooty.com.au that the former Sandringham Dragon would command somewhere between $450,000 — 470,000 next season at a rival club.

God damn .. hes reached mckay money.

It was after sanderson got sacked on 5aa and bone was saying it was the most brutal decision the club had ever made... Lindy rang up and basically Had a mental breakdown throughout the phonecall.

It still hurts to this day.

 

[Gets!]

SOS is coming across like an absolute douchebag.

Love it how he basically takes half of GWS through his pre-existing connections but gets all high and mighty when a player that has given 10 years service wants to head home because he has a young family.

More than one stalemate out there..

Star midfielder Jaeger O’Meara could be forced to nominate for the AFL national draft

HAWTHORN could walk away from negotiations with Gold Coast over midfielder Jaeger O’Meara in a move that could force the Suns’ star into the national draft.

Talks between the two clubs have slowed to a halt with the Suns unwilling to accept the Hawks’ two top picks, which are No. 10 and No. 48, for O’Meara.

Hawthorn believe a first-round and third-round pick is a fair deal for a player who has not played a single senior game over the past two seasons due to serious knee injuries.



The Hawks swapped their first pick from next year’s draft in a bid to gain No. 10 in this year’s draft from St Kilda, but it has failed to appease the Suns.

Instead, Gold Coast wants a senior player from Hawthorn, but the players they have targeted from Waverley have refused to join the Suns.

Hawthorn cannot trade a senior player to the Suns without the player’s consent.

The dramatic stalemate threatens to force O’Meara, 22, into the national draft if the two clubs are unable to agree to a trade deal for the Rising Star winner before Thursday’s 2pm trade deadline.


If O’Meara enters the national draft, the Suns would potentially be left red-faced if it lost the glittering ball-winner for nothing.

The AFL has made clear its two struggling Queensland clubs can help rebound from continued disappointing performances by using the correct trade and draft mechanisms to bolster their squads.

However, sources said the Suns may want to make a statement to deter other players who may consider walking out on the franchise club next year.

Entering the draft could be a devastating blow for O’Meara who would have to hope he is not taken by another club before Hawthorn’s No. 10 selection in the national draft.

Former St Kilda midfielder Luke Ball found his way to Collingwood’s No. 30 selection in 2009 after confronting the same dilemma.

O’Meara could also choose to enter the preseason draft, but would certainly be taken by Essendon with the No. 1 pick.

Essendon has a keen interest in O’Meara, but the player’s manager, Colin Young, is adamant the Suns’ star will get to the club of his choice, which is Hawthorn.

O’Meara could put a big price on his head to help deter unwanted clubs from taking him in the national draft and could also sign for only one season, or spend one year out of the game.
Young had crucial talks with Gold Coast representatives on Tuesday in a bid to help clinch the deal but the Suns are standing firm on their demands.

Gold Coast president Tony Cochrane previously said O’Meara owes the Suns for all the help they have provided him during his time on the sidelines.

“We are very disappointed because he has been with us for four years but has only played football for the club for two of those years,” Cochrane said.

“We have put a lot of time, effort, money, resources, made sure he had the best medical advice and took him to London to make sure he had the best surgeon on that first knee operation.



“So we think we have invested a lot in the person, we had great faith in the individual and we built our whole junior program on the Gold Coast around Jaeger’s Juniors.

“We unfortunately — and perhaps foolishly — believed that it would be repaid by him re-signing with us for at least another two years and we made a very substantial offer on that basis which he has chosen to reject.

“It might be old fashioned but loyalty is a two-way street. It is not a dead-end road.”

That would be embarrising if O'meara went for less than Gibbs did.

This is from the Carlton website:

Discussions continue between Carlton and the Adelaide Football Club ahead of the AFL’s Trade Period deadline on Thursday afternoon.

General Manager of List Management and Strategy Stephen Silvagni says there have been ongoing discussions with the Crows in recent days, after Bryce Gibbs signalled his desire to return to his home state due to personal reasons.

“There have been discussions with Adelaide to settle on a fair trade, but while we are empathetic to Bryce’s personal situation, Bryce has a contract with the Carlton Football Club and we expect him to see it out,” Silvagni said.

“He is a contracted player, however as yet, no deal has been put forward that we feel would sufficiently match the value of Bryce; given his standing as a 200-plus game leader at our football club.

“Obviously the two clubs have their respective positions on what is a fair trade, so we will continue to work through this.”

Silvagni added that discussions also remain ongoing following Zach Tuohy’s request to explore his options elsewhere.

“Zach has chosen to explore his options, but we are close to a deal on this, and confident we will get a good outcome for our football club,” Silvagni said.

The NAB AFL Trade Period officially closes at 2:00pm on Thursday afternoon.

That last line suggests they'll get there. Might take till the last day but it's hardly a slam the door attitude that has been portrayed.

I think it was actually some poster on here to be honest.

But yes, she literally did have a mental breakdown over the radio about it.

What a night that was!!
No one saw it coming, we were praising King Rufus lol

The guy is a knob. Also wonder if Trigg is behind it as well.

She also rang up after our last game against Sydney and went full lindy again

Taking it up the arse and losing two first rounders for Gibbs will send a message to the rest of the competition about our ability to trade will also have ramifications for us in the future.

Pretty sure if I was in Reids position, I'd rather lose the two first rounders and leave it at that

 

[GROTTO]

That would be embarrising if O'meara went for less than Gibbs did.

I would actually rather roll the dice with O'Meara than Gibbs.

Gun mid which would have won us games off his own boot singlehandedly and will cost us less too. Yes he is injury prone but its the risk.

Pretty simple really.

not having Gibbs decreases our chances in 2017.

Yeah I need to see the full picture before drawing conclusions on the deal.

 

[Danger in Texas]

The fact he says a fair trade will be organised sits okay with me

A lot of it is just #sillySOSage ranting on, though

 

[Geoffa32]

JOM is a great talent, but has not played a game in two years.

He is a punt. I can understand clubs not wanting to pay over on that.

Gibbs is a known quantity.

But two first rounders for him is too much IMO.

May be tempted to go Full Lindy and microwave my membership then form a ticket, via a Facebook petition to spill the AFC Board if it is true...............

Pick 18-20 next year??

I was referring to purchase price, not contract price. Anyways, according to TMS, Lyons was on nothing remotely similar to that amount. Miles, miles less. Surely a fringe player wouldn't have gotten 2 or 3 years at that amount while the club was yet to conclude he was worthy of a spot in the 22. Sounds quite implausible really.

Lyons was rated higher than Gibbs this year.
You give him too much credit.

hahahahaha

Not you!

Ok that message from SOS doesn't fill me with a lot of hope
