Recommitted Bryce Gibbs [out of contract 2021]

[Johnny Bananas]

Since he probably isn't leaving Adelaide, you'd figure he's a SANFL player from here on, whether in the Crows reserves or back to Glenelg.

 

[Drewie11]

Salary aside, it's looking like quite an even trade at this point.

Let’s not forget that Carlton gave us their 2018 second pick which was pick 19. Adelaide traded that pick 19 to GWS for pick 30 (Will Hamill) and Carlton’s second round pick this year. So Adelaide could get themselves a Liam Stocker out of it yet too

 

[Crow till I die]

Would be keen for a trade along the lines of
Dogs Give pick 25 and 40
Crows give pick 20 and 29 aswell as Gibbs + his massive salary

Gibbs moved back to adelaide to be with family as he has very young children..can't see him leaving South Australia

 

[Shaneprice97]

I remember Gibbs having a few really good games in 2014, that Geelong game where he destroyed Selwood really comes to mind.

 

[_jrtp09_]

If you say so. I sure know I’m happy with which side of that equation my club is on.

With all due respect, the fact the Blues had him in the first place is nothing to be happy about.

I can’t see any reason for this comment, so you’ll have to elaborate.

Couldn't imagine anything worse for someone with the issues Gibbs has. Needs a secure, healthy environment

What issues does Gibbs have?

 

[skittlebrew]

I would consider him up on the GC for the next 2 years, we need midfield depth really bad, and he is a decent ball user. However, would want Adelaide to cover some of his wages.

He may want to fight it out at the Crows but he would easily be in the 22 for us.

Not a bad idea, could package him up with Greenwood.

If we cover a lot of his wages we would want a decent pick (or visa versa).

 

[philthy05]

Gcs won’t touch him. You’re stuck with him.

 

[PP34]

Missing ed Richards hurts

Does it?

Richards was decent last year, hasn’t set the world on fire this year. O’Brien has been up and down this year. Far too early to call.

Would he get a game at the Bays? There on fire ATM.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

The real question is why did Adelaide want him to begin with?

Anyone else remember clueless Carlton saying the Crows wouldv'e won the premiership if they coughed up earlier?

Lol, doubt the AFL would allow the Crows to trade Gibbs for negative value. We got investigated for trading Tippett for a 2nd rounder, so we would be smashed for giving away picks & Gibbs.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

What issues does Gibbs have?

Personal issues which have impacted on his form.

Think we will bank on him sorting through this, rather than giving him away.

Clueless Carlton? Is that the Carlton that got not only another year out of a valuable, senior body on their young list but extracted absolutely max value from the deal when he was traded 12 months later, especially for a nearing 30 year old?

Adelaide wanted him because they considered themselves right in their premiership window and Gibbs was a consistent and durable A grade midfielder who wanted to head back to SA (not all that common). It's obviously gone sour for them since on both fronts, but that's why...

 

[MITSUHIRATO]

This is clearly a case of Irresponsible List Management by Justin Reid.

Clubs should be able to do this. It works well enough in US sports. You should be able to do something like Port did with Lobbe, get a token really late pick in and get at least some of his salary off the books.

From what i understand you can do this. Dan Hannebury is another example. The Kurt Tippett trade was far different to this Gibbs scenario.

Tippett was the clubs highest played player, 25 years of age, coming off a career year, wasn't playing reserves and was worth far more than a second round pick. He was also paid 200K outside the salary cap.

Gibbs is 30 years old, and is playing most of the current season in the SANFL.
