Because we have too many of Lyons type in our team and Gibbs is better. That's why we are are offering a first round pick as well.
It's not about his type, it's about his level of talent and his limited ceiling. If you want to improve the state of your list you're going to have to prune some of the C-graders and Lyons fits the bill.

We're not buying it.

Lyons is fine, but he offers nothing much beyond what Wright and Kerridge do and we can't fit those guys in the same plodding one paced dour side. Sell him somewhere else and send the profits to the Blues.

I'd take Lyons - but as a depth midfielder with a 3rd round pick. Nothing involving Gibbs.

I think it might be best for all if Adelaide just issues a press release stating that they tried to do a deal but nothing eventuated so they're moving on to other targets.

Question: hypothetically, what would Lyons be worth in a stand-alone trade?

5 and 25 are way too high. 45 is closer to the mark but the last time we traded away a 3rd rounder, WB picked up premiership midfielder Caleb Daniel. :'(

So an 8-pick downgrade is all I'd pay for him, if indeed he was of interest.
45 = Lyons + 53

Now if you crows fans think he's actually worth more than that, trade him to some other club and hand over the resulting pick.

But perhaps surprisingly, according to Champion Data’s closely guarded player ratings, Lyons was rated “slightly above” Gibbs in 2016.

“He (Lyons) wins a bit more contested ball and does most of his work in the forward half, (plus) he’s a bit more clean with the ball,” Wilson explained.

“Jarryd Lyons I feel is a very underrated player by Carlton and if they offered me (Pick) 13 and Lyons, I’d do that deal in a heartbeat.”

In the jungle of players as commodities I wonder how Lyons sleeps at night....
Maybe a more apt tune for Adelaide:

You can't hide those Lyons eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realise
That Lyons really ain't no worthy prize.
