Gibbs is an overrated 28 year old squib. Our only interest in him should be making sure the Crows pay overs to get him to West Lakes.
Put it out there that potentially a pick that is in single digits and perhaps a player that has a name that might is some small way rhyme with 'Jolly Pines' are on the hypothetical table.

Lol Pick 9 and Wines. Are we buying Carlton?

You've gotta make it at least a little bit realistic.
 
Wtf is Carlton's list strategy? Trade out every half decent player they've had in the last 5 years?

When you are making cultural change after sustained failures, you need to move on the jaded individuals regardless of their talent. Something we absolutely failed to do.
 
Is Theo Doropolous just another crows fan that doesn't really understand how trading for established players works?

Reckons they'll get a low 20's pick for Lyons and then use that plus a "players/spud" to get Gibbs.

Give us a spell.

They'll have to give their first pick plus something else or they wont get him it's simple.. he's contracted Carlton hold the cards
 
If, and it is an if, the Crows secure Gibbs they will have one of the oldest midfields going around. Thompson (34), Douglas (30), Sloane (27), MacKay (28) is really a now or never midfield.
How would they cope with the expectation of being flag favourites? Better than we did I guess. Gibbs good fit for them. Can't stand him and can't stand the Crers.

It is unclear whether fellow South Australian club Port Adelaide is in the equation to acquire Gibbs.
The Power are understood to have very little room in their salary cap, so it would be unlikely they would be able to lure Gibbs.


My impression was that due to the change in veterans rules we had picked up what would amount to about an extra $500K in our cap. And with Schulz and Carlile retiring there would be a bit more in the cap. Can't see us making a play for Gibbs though.

I think they can feel the hot breath of GWS breathing down their necks. Mind you Hawthorn are re tooling so they might be close again next year.

its possible we have already spent that money on existing players by backloading contracts or whatever.
 
Ever see his dad play?

I abused Ross from the stands one day in the late 80's he finally turned around with a throat slitting gesture and the finger lol Northern End of footy park. Those were the days. He was a smug campaigner back then
 
Apparently Davies is saying Port are still open to offers on Hartlett.
Meh it is trade week, so this could be a bit of BS to rile up the media folk getting them talking about Harlett so Davies can spend his time working on another deal. As old Sun Tzu taught us, all warfare is based on deception

He once commented on my brother's rainbow reflectance sun glasses when we were in our teens, sitting behind him in the grandstand at Glenelg Oval. Must have been around 1992.
 
Having secured Ryder and Dixon for our flag good luck to them....... (doesn't always work out) - get the feeling we won't be setting the world on fire this trade period...
