Weller wants out and back to QLD ,Freeo have been chasing Hogan (Nut Cancer fathers death compassionate reasons) Melbourne replace there power forward who they may lose next year and reload a pick into this years draft perfect world this makes sense.

Really hope the Lions are making some very serious enquiries about Weller. Only two teams in QLD...and highly doubtful GC have the currency if they are not prepared to give up #2 under any circumstances.

Surely #1 + #18 or #20 for Weller + #5 could pique Freo's interest

If he is willing to come to the Lions, they would be crazy NOT to offer this.

Silvagni not even hiding the fact they are the massive winners out of that deal:

"We feel we have reached a deal that is in the best interests of the Carlton Football Club." No mention of Adelaide benefitting.
 
I'm actually over the VFL and following it, this trade for Gibbs is absolutely ludicirious the price Crows are playing, literally Carlton has continually been given a free hand to rebuild and are going to be well ahead of us which has absolutely destroyed my faith in the system.

Melbourne got a similar hand back in the day

Yer crazy price, it will be even more ludicrous trade if they can trade that future pick for Kennedy as well.
 
If he has a premiership medallion around his neck in 11 months then the Crows will be happy otherwise it looks bad.
I don't think Gibbs is the difference between a premiership and no premiership TBH. It wasn't the midfield where they lost the GF it was in their heads and Gibbs is as soft as they come.

I complain about the Victorian-centred league more than most, but even I can't ascribe Adelaide's trading to that... No one forced them to trade for Gibbs. They literally could have just walked away.

Sure if the grand final was replayed and Gibbs was out there then they might still have lost but they needed class through the midfield and depth in case Sloane was tagged. They relied heavily through the year on rebound off half back and that fell apart in the GF because of Richmonds pressure.

We prob don't wanna pay him a mill per year.
Weller never going to happen

I agree. Trying to now draw the Gibbs trade in on some Victorian conspiracy is utterly rediculas. We are jumping at shadows so bad. If Zorko asked to be traded under contract, we would be wanting about the same thing and we would get it too.

Wow, the Suns were able to get the Eagles 2018 first off them. Would absolutely jump at that for Weller if I was Freo. I'd almost be getting in touch about our #12 and/or #18 if not. Think the Eagles will have quite a drop off next year - could well end up a top 5 pick in what's tipped to be a much stronger draft.
