Bryce Gibbs and his personal issues

[Canada]

If Gibbs and partner don't respect their own 'personal issues' why should Carlton. If it was an issue other than... I'd prefer to be back home...then they would have sought a deal with Port Adelaide.
Simple. No sympathy

Melbourne baby sitters can be pricey.

Yep. Suck it up. It's a national comp. You signed the long contract.

 

[Baird]

I don't think Port have the cap space for Gibbs.

 

[Doc Hattori]

were the personal issues so bad he couldn't go Port Adelaide rather than "home" to Adelaide ??

 

[Golden_6]

Yeah I would assume this has everything to do with the fact Port don't even have a cent available in their cap.

COST OF BABYSITTERS ALLOWANCE next on AFL's agenda ?

I don't think he wants any sympathy.

Got an offer to go player at a contender and tried his luck. Carlton had every right to say no.

Mate, come on, Port Adelaide is a long way from Adelaide, ok?

He took a heavily front loaded contract and then after getting the big money, wanted to change clubs.
Good on Carlton for holding firm.

The Bryce is wrong, bitch

This was a big reason we played hard ball ( coupled with 3yrs left on a signed contract ) and requested something decent not just #13 and Lyons who the Crows traded for a pick in the 40's anyway so that shows you how much they rated Lyons really.

I am rapt we held our ground.

bam!

Pleasantly surprised the mental illness card wadn't played though.

Byrce Gibbs does not deserve any sympathy he signed a 5yr contract in 2014 and knew exactly where Carlton stood if he wanted to chase a premiership he should have left Carlton at the end of 2014. I would expect Justin Reid do the exact some thing as SOS in this situation.

Best post ive seen in long long time

Don't assume! he comes from a family of Port haters and we were always going to the draft this year regardless of "exploding celery caps"

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Don't know that he ever mentioned personal issues

 

[DazzaTys]

His old man absolutely hates Port through the SANFL old days. Salary cap or not, he wouldnt ever play for the club. Plus we've got Aaron Young. Only enough space for 1 man bun in the salary cap.

When both of Graham Cornes' sons played for your club, I'm not sure that who your father hates holds much weight.

meme that.

 

[billy fragos]

I doubt Port Adelaide had the salary cap space to afford him and therefore probably did not make an offer. Case closed.

Nah I doubt there was any interest from us or Bryce.. the salary cap stuff is way overblown

The city of Adelaide couldn't handle any more of that kind of betrayal. The noobs at SANFL hq would evict us from the state to reposition in Alice Springs.

Carlton did the right thing. I can't imagine Gibbs being anything other than a complete professional and playing to his ability next season, and the two clubs might find themselves at the same juncture again next year. No point getting bent over at the trade table for a contracted player unless you think that guy is going to be a poor influence around the club next season.
