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

[dogs105]

What if he was no good and you are paying $1M a year on long term contract plus giving away a first and your captain who was worth a first?

It would be a shit trade.

 

[Elite Crow]

It would be a shit trade.

And what if you had to lose players like JJ due to salary cap pressures?

[FR0GGY]

We cant afford him - end thread.

 

[Mego Red]

They paid massive money for a guy who was doing nothing and gave up a first and their captain, that's going all in.

C'mon, you must know that's a garbage point.

He was a massive, obvious number one KPF. He was young and the Bulldogs got him thinking they were five years away from competing, and to change the conversation around how much of a train wreck their team was.

This was a trade for the future. They got him for a pick five and a senior player who wanted to leave anyway. Very good deal.

 

[Mego Red]

What did they do it for?

They had finished 14th.

Their captain had walked out the door. They were a dumpster fire of a side.

They did it to build for the future to hopefully compete again one day.

Is that what they told you?

You must be in the Bulldogs inner sanctum to know exactly what they were thinking.

Perhaps they knew a bit more about their list and knew the young talent they had coming through

Don't say that you'll piss off Valhaus.

 

[Bicks]

Wonder if Carlton could use Wigg. Dont see a future for him at the crows. He was a 2nd round pick wasnt he and he goes ok.

Gibbs for Wigg and a third?

And have Carlton laugh at the offer....
He'll still command a 1st Pick, whether you personally think it or not.

 

[Bicks]

They'll be able to sell it based upon mental wellbeing. "Bryce did his best for his club and family, but it's clear that he needs to put his family first and we will certainly facilitate and encourage that." Bryce is a cruiser, I'll be shocked if his year is much better than the average of his first 2 games. Carlton will likely be in a good position to look like they give a shit come trade time. But they're mostly just completely incompetent at every level.

Carlton don't have to sell anything...he's contracted and he'll still command plenty to pry him loose whether you think he's worth it or not.

The we should pass. 29 years old and never top shelf, whether you personally think it or not.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

They didn't do it for premiership or bust in the next 3 years though

That's right.

If it's a bad call they have to live with it far, far longer than we would have with Gibbs. About double the coin for twice as long.

Going after Gibbs would have been a much lower risk for us.

 

[Sanders]

We have beaten GWS twice in two years now, honestly I have faith that our side can beat them on our day

Good thing our home n away form is usually replicated in finals

Oh wait

 

[Sanders]

You think Menzel's 14 pos 1 goal is a good game but Mackays 12 pos 3 goals is a bad game?

Do they play the same position?

 

[Sanders]

I didn't say I knew what his role was like you did, I said I saw him cooling rioli, as did a few other posters. This is evidence that points to your statement that he was a pure wingman being full of shit. That's all it is.

So you have access to the down the ground replay that shows what every player is doing? you're full of shit.

Mackay wasn't cooling rioli.

I don't know what you think you saw or if you even saw anything at all, but he wasn't on rioli any more than I was

 

[Elite Crow]

Mackay wasn't cooling rioli.

I don't know what you think you saw or if you even saw anything at all, but he wasn't on rioli any more than I was

I watched a bit more last night, I saw Rioli run a few metres past Mackay twice, is that cooling?

if you have an agenda sure

2018 1st could be on offer?

 

[Elite Crow]

Or a theory

 

[Sanders]

Or a theory

or form when it comes to dishonesty

 

[Danger in Texas]

Good thing our home n away form is usually replicated in finals

Oh wait

Let's just hope we did a Port circa 01-03 these past two years, and do an 04 Port this year

 

[Mego Red]

Is that what they told you?

Everything I listed was facts.

14th.

Coach being sacked. Captain abandoning the team.

You're clinging to this example and you're clearly wrong. If you want to prove your point you're going to have to come up with something else.

 

[Mego Red]

I watched a bit more last night, I saw Rioli run a few metres past Mackay twice, is that cooling?

He stood Rioli a few times at stoppages. You can see that clearly.

Personally, I just thought that was for those stoppages, not a coach's instruction.

Of course, you can't know that for sure. You're speculating as much as Pdub.

All true until your last sentence which is your opinion, it's all you have. You have no idea how they rated their list internally.

The fact they sacked their coach for underperforming might give you a clue, that and the talent made the finals and won them a flag 2 years later. But hey, your opinion carries more weight than history.
