List Mgmt. 2017 Free Agency & Trading - Part 2 (Take Gibbs talk to the Gibbs thread)

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

He is a good player for sure. That club is a train wreck though. The AFL should just admit they royally botched it up there, shut it down and move the club to Tassie. That place is footy mad, they would have half a million fans day 1!

Tassie only have a half million population now. Not everyone that follows footy is going to switch teams. Some will stick with the teams that they have supported for decades now.

Also, from what I understand, there is quite a big divide between Hobart and Launceston, so I'm not sure a Tassie team could get the full support. Unless they somehow split their home games between Hobart and Launceston they'd upset at least one group.

 

[Betts are off]

The perfect scenario, Watts to Port for Port 2018 1st round Pick,
Lever to Melb for Melb 2017 1st and Port 2018 1st, Crows pick up either Jack Lukosius, Izak Rankine with that Port pick.

Oh the Joy if that happens. I don't know what I would enjoy more 2 x 1st round picks or Ports 2018 x1st round pick after they fail to make the 8.

Watts will likely end up on Freo's list. They love C grade forwards out there. Might help them break that pesky 1700 points/season barrier that they have been failing to top the last few years!

As much as a like for like on Cameron as you can get

"He is professional in his application to the game and will thrive in an environment where he will learn more about his own game everyday. "

If that ain't the Adelaide Crows I don't know what is.

Agree. It's supporter base wouldn't be any smaller than the smaller Melbourne clubs. The main problem is the split of the population in Launceston and Hobart. Neither city has the population alone for good attendances and they are a long distance apart. They also hate each other.

Port have had consistency issues

Watts, Menzel and Motlop have frustrated their supporters with their inconsistency

Perfect fit then!

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Rocky is looking for the highest bid from what I understand

Port over Carlton then...

 

[Elite Crow]

Surely not.....

 

[Houston]

Surely not.....

Just give them whatever we get for Lever.

 

[Elite Crow]

Would be more given he's contracted

 

[spexau]

Surely not.....

Imagine going into 2018 after a glorious 2017 premiership without Lever and unfortunately Smith but with Gibbs and J. McGovern. Yes pls.

 

[earlsta]

Surely not.....

I don’t believe any trade info on twitter unless its from afl trade leaks which is quite reputable.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Surely not.....

This is the peanut saying Sloane is going to Essendon as a FA after next year, so let's just pump the breaks

 

[Elite Crow]

He gets some stuff right

 

[NikkiNoo]

This is the peanut saying Sloane is going to Essendon as a FA after next year, so let's just pump the breaks

To be fair though at some stage EVERY player gets linked with Essendon if there is a possibility of them being involved in trading/free agency.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

I'd be happy to do that deal. Our time is now.

 

[Ratkins]

Just give them whatever we get for Lever.

Yes please.

The GWS exodus is underway for the year. Wonder how many Carlton will pick up.

SOS wont be satisfied till he converts Carlton into GWS seconds team.

Lever + Pick 35 >> Melbourne
Pick 10 + 2018 1st Round Pick (Melbourne) >> Adelaide

Charlie Cameron >> Brisbane
Pick 14 >> Adelaide

Pick 17 + Wigg >> Carlton
Bryce Gibbs >> Adelaide

Picks 10 + 2018 1st Round Pick (Adelaide) + Exchange of later picks >> West Coast
Jeremy McGovern + Exchange of later picks >> Adelaide

Leaving picks 14, 53 (FS Edwards), 72 (Rookie Upgrade), 90 (Rookie Upgrade)
+ Melbourne's 1st Round pick will be better then ours in 2018.

We Gain:
McGovern + Gibbs, Whilst also upgrading out current 1st round pick by 3 and only losing a second rounder.

We Lose:
Lever, Cameron, & Wigg.

Any trade value for:
Beech?
Cheney?
Ellis-Yolmen?

.. If not maybe the guys we delist, as well as Scott Thompson retiring

Possible FA Targets:
D.Menzel - For Depth??
J.Trengrove - Will be cheap, might want to come home. Would likely play SANFL, but maybe rookie contract?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Surely not.....

If we manage to get the older Gov for Lever & change... wow, just wow!

Btw, I doubt west coast will release him next year.

 

[GROTTO]

I would rather pay extra in the salary cap for Rocky and keep all our first rounders then lose them for Gibbs.

Make no mistake the Blues want our Lever first rounder.

Keep Charlie.
No to Menzel.
Yes to Trengove.
Keep CEY.
Delist Beech, Cheney

I want to date Miranda Kerr, doesn't mean diddley biscuits. If they ask for pick 6, we laugh and walk away dickhead silvani style. We don't have to buy, didn't bend last year and certainly won't this time around. 16/17 and wigg sounds overs already

I still believe the outcome of Saturday shapes our Gibbs move and also his asking price by the Blues.

If we win it, we can act like dicks and tell them here is pick 18 and shove it or walkaway. I think if we lose on Saturday there will be pressure to go after Gibbs.
