Im just glad the Gibbs trade didn't come to fruition last year. Let's say the crows had a better day last satdee in the GF, Betts kicks 5, Jacobs dominates and hypothetically, Gibbs cuts richmond apart on the outside and wins the norm smith. This could've happened.....and honestly....still could. Crows are still firmly in the window. Gibbs would add a ton to your outside run. This can be a real win win for both clubs if the chests can be deflated a little. Crows are understandably grumpy at the moment so a deal might not happen.

You could have had SPP running around for you for the next 12-15 years, good mates with SPS to boot. Sure you might have had another bottom 4 finish... oh wait, you kept Gibbs and still finished bottom 4! We improved and made a GF, your club went backwards and is now struggling to attract players who were "sure bets" to pick your club.

You should not count the win against Essendon.

Which makes you clearly the second worst in the AFL, and us sixth best. Seems about right.
Whichever way you want to look at it, you are closer to the second worst than you are top
 
Probably the same reason why half of my crow buddies want Dangerfield to do his knee every other game.

Well no poster on here has said that or rarely has.

The difference with Danger is that he screwed the Club over when he left. He was worth 2 1sts and he left us holding our dick in our hand which is where there is some anger from some. We got to the GF. Not to mention he didnt even live in Adelaide in his 1st year with us.

Carlton have all but lost Gibbs that opportunity to play finals footy as he was promised with his last contract. Carlton have failed on their end. Its selfish for Carlton suporters to not want the best for Gibbs. I for one was happy when Bernie Vince plays well and tbh even Cameron if and when he goes as well. There is a difference.

Mate the stuff I've heard in the outer directed at ex crows during games at AAMI and AO is bordering on criminal. Honestly makes me laugh. And yes, living in Adelaide I know many crows fans that wish nasty stuff on paddy. Crows Members, gold members etc etc. I don't think they actually mean it. But it comes out of their mouth nonetheless.

Got any proof of that? It's like you've never been to the football before.....

Yes and Carlton is closer to Hawthorn than Adelaide therefore Carlton is basically Hawthorn is that how this works?

Pick some cherry picked crap that says what you want it to.

The only relevant statistic is finishing position.

ok... my first time back on big footy since pre GF.. I have just reactivated facebook as well. a week in hiding. still shattered and flat but that's the life of a crows fan. anyway there hasn't been much tweets/goss/talk about the Gibbs/Crows deal.. will it happen? it needs to happen! a year without smith makes it even more important to happen.

Lol, ever been to the MCG mate? Maybe head over every now and again and hear what comes out of your supporters mouths before during and after games.

Let's just say your pot is way blacker than our kettle.

Back in your box, you drunk man.;)

Stop playing the drunk all the time. :drunk:

You do know *everyone* sees right through you right?

Nah, course you don’t ;)

Sloane has played less games than Gibbs so therefore will have recorded less wins, which was the point of discussion.:drunk:

Whoosh...

Sloane didn’t even become a regular in our team until 2010 which is not a tick in his favour

We then proceeded to miss finals 4 of his first 5 years in the side

That’s the point

Whoosh

Anyone thinking that Gibbs won't be a great get are kidding himself

Adds a different look and skill set to our midfield, good footy IQ, elite ball use and can hit the scoreboard
Agreed, so long as it's for reasonable trade value.

Want Motlop as well, our system will make him fit and he could be lethal on HBF or HFF
