List Mgmt. Gibbs - 2017 trade discussions! (Gibbs swapped for Wigg or 2nd)

[headache1]

can we just pretend we got Menzel, Hampton & Gore this trade period instead?

Don't worry, they'll all be talked up as being "like new recruits" by the club. In fact, I'm pretty sure I remember a tweet stating Hampton as just that.

 

[CrowEater888]

Can he quit the club and go PSD?

 

[huludicidal]

I just listened to Carmody (Gibbs' manager) and he is ABSOLUTELY SEETHING and 100% of the rage is directed at CARLTON.

Watch this space in 12 months.

 

[Niximus]

Will be interesting to watch him play next year...

Might be a bargain sale next year.

 

[1970crow]

lyons wasn't on $150k

I Must have missed a post. Word was sub $200k plus small uplift offered to end up just over $200k

 

[xchadders]

carlton got rhys palmer for pick 135.... but didnt want lyons. lol.

 

[Scorpus]

We didn't. We said he'd requested a trade. Two very different things.

We shouldn't have said a single thing. We shouldn't have initiated the talk.

 

[Paladin]

Let's wait for the facts to come out. If Sos was asking for 2 first rounders straight up without compromising then (a) he's an idiot and (b) our guys did all they could.

Its possible but where is plan b?

Why not have Rocky or lids as a backup strategy?

Sick of this happy enough to be good enough mediocre bullshit.

 

[brucetiki]

Always remember we did a better job at Trade Week than Port this year...not that it means much but a small win nonetheless...

 

[MarcusP2]

Can he quit the club and go PSD?

No because he's contracted.

 

[Scorpus]

Can he quit the club and go PSD?

Theoretically he can, but it would be ludicrously tricky to do so due to his contract

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Oh well.

I guess we'll just need to hope that our guys play better than they did last year. Also that our youngsters develop faster than the ones at all the other clubs.

 

[glengowan]

I hope Adelaide come out and let us know what was offered (no players need to be mentioned) and what Carlton wanted.

 

[Aaron929]

Ha! they won't tell us what the offer was. won't even tell us what they thought was reasonable

Just shows carlton wanted to much. I really hope we can pull off something in the draft.

 

[Bernie L]

Reckon more will come of this.

 

[TrainRoo32]

Always remember we did a better job at Trade Week than Port this year...not that it means much but a small win nonetheless...

How so mate?
They didn't lose any ****en players

 

[Stiffy_18]

This is not going to end well for Carlton! If what I am hearing is true then we will be here again in 12 months time but I am certain 1st round pick is not going to be on the table.

Time to move on and concentrate on the draft and free agency period next year which seems to have been our plan all along.

 

[DD#23]

As opposed to his 0 for the rest of his career?

Id take top 8 finish over bottom 4 finish, yeah.

well we sure are the perfect club for you, just don't expect any GF appearances and you're in for a great time.

unfortunately though our midfield is our glaring weakness and we've traded out a decent best 22 mid for peanuts and we're going to start a 34 year old in the middle all season so don't pencil top 8 in just yet.

 

[PCORF]

Should have never traded Lyons. As it seems right now it was beyond dumb. But then again other up and coming players can fill his gap.

But then again maybe pick 67 will be a superstar and that beyond dumb thing will be forgotten. Look at Sloane and Walker for example.

 

[6BTS]

"What sort of deal did you want?"
SOS - Yeah, nah, we ain't telling you that "We shook hands with Adelaide and understood that a deal couldn't be done" THEN WHY THE **** DID IT TAKE EVERYONE UNTIL AFTER THE DEADLINE TO FIND THAT OUT!

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

So no Gibbs, no plan B and we traded Lyons for pick 43?

That is a big fat fail.

Let's just hope that Ogilvie can save our offseason by getting the next Cripps and Sloane and 13 and 43.

 

[AFC3000]

Feel for Bryce Gibbs, clear need to come home. Hopefully the Carlton supporters get behind him, even though he would rather be playing for the Adelaide Football Club, like Betts, Jacobs and Menzel are.

Time to look for a new feeder team?

 

[Cleric]

Huge amounts of trades happened. Crows were focused on Gibbs. No plan B

We knew Danger was leaving 18 months ago, and this is the result of our list managements hard work.
Pathetic.

 

[DangerSloane]

Carlton will need to manage Gibbs well in the next few weeks... would hate to see him take leave of absence and sit out season like McCarthy for personal reasons...

I Would absolutely adore that.
Good situation for his family. Adelaide do a Freo and get him for absolutely fk all next year.

Carlton pay him for this year and get stuff all for him... FU SOS!

 

[baldandbroke]

I hope Adelaide come out and let us know what was offered (no players need to be mentioned) and what Carlton wanted.

I hope we come out and say exactly what we offered - and what Carlton wanted.
