Bryce Gibbs staying at Carlton - Silvagni in the no blinking zone

[slashin_velvet]

okay.
We had good intel the deal was done too.
cheers

Your intel was proven wrong.....so we'll probably back ours.

 

[Broadside]

okay why doesn't Carlton with Gibbs approval amend the contract so that it expires in one year? That way Gibbs can leave as a free agent.

Next minute, the AFL decide to change the rules again and eliminate free agency compensation.

He might just get traded next year anyway.

 

[ajb72]

change the contract to end after 1 year: compensation in AFL hands
trade end of next year: compensation in CFC hands

pretty simple equation.

free agency pick >>>>> Adelaide pick

Definitely hoping you cave.
I'm just saying how do you know we didn't offer a 1st and 2nd? The AFL article and Jake Nial? I think there would have been 20 iterations of the deal. We only dealt with you by the looks. Do you see Crows not putting forward a 1st and 2nd or that Carlton only wanted 2 firsts.
I wouldn't believe anything these media blokes report. 5th hand information.
Anyway I'm getting off your board.

I don't think your posts have been too bad, so not sure you have to worry about any backlash or ban if that's why you're getting off (from what I've seen).

My point is that maybe we would have been happy to accept a 1st and a 2nd, at the death knell, but not earlier. We might have knocked it back (if it was offered) originally, hoping for more and knowing there was still time to come back to it. If that was your limit on what to pay, that should've been your final offer.
You can't expect us to accept an offer that's lower than your best (if that's the case), just because it's in the dying minutes and we are desperate to deal. We weren't desperate and that should have been apparent.

If the AFL are investigating Hawks over Vickery, I can't see them letting us do that.

I like your thinking though.

 

[teknodeejay]

Adelaide could have shopped a player to another club for a pick that suited Carlton to go with 13.

There's more than one way to skin a crow, but they're run by a bunch of stoopids in adelaide.

We would get more in a trade

You never know we may improve and they may do a Freo.
Stranger things have happened...

They almost certainly would if it involves us.

Haters!!

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Pick 13 (1212 pts) + Pick 16 2017 (1067pts) = Pick 3. Roo and Justin Reid are idiots.

So 2279 points. Minus 878 points for our second rounder next year going back to them (I'll say pick 21).

Means Adelaide is effectively giving up 1401 points (pick 10) for Gibbs.

You'd really hope Reid put that deal on the table.

 

[Loramarthalas]

So... Maybe good on SOS, didn't budge on two firsts and asks for a first and Sloane, 1st and Crouch etc. But, think it's only a short term win for you guys.
Good luck in 17' Hope 13 is a star

Genuine question: why will it be different next year? Gibbs will have two years to run on his contract. He'll only be 28. He'll still be one of our best midfielder. What is going to change?

If you mean next year you'll decide to offer us a fair trade, then great. You might actually get the deal done. But what will you have to offer? Your first pick will be 13-15 again, most likely. I see the same thing happening again next year.

In fact, Gibbs may not even bother asking next year. If he knows the Crows won't offer more, why would he? The deal simply won't get done.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

What are his family issues?

Whatever they are, it's not serious enough for him to be open to going to Port as well.

We'll see over the next 12 months. Let's see if he's open to going to Port. There's a whole year where Port can fit him in. I bet you he doesn't.

Won't Gibbs asking for a trade get the message through he doesn't want to be at Carlton? It will make you more desperate to move him on I would have thought. You negotiating hard ball won't work twice it will create a PR nightmare? I might looking from the wrong way but it just feels like that. There might still be more to play out or Bryce plays and performs as usual.

what a week for poor Bryce. He just must be inconsolible right n.....

Be interesting if Gibbs has a blinder next year and lets say was in top 5 in Brownlow may increase his value and Adelaide may have to pay up more

Looks like it will be really awkward when he gets back to training in November.

I don't know how he will manage it

Damn he looks really distraught, what a bunch of monsters we are

I don't believe Gibbs will ask for a trade next year, his kid will be a year older and extra support around him, plus why bother unless he know a trade can be done.

But if he does and the Crows again fail to trade for him how do you think the PR nightmare would go for The Crows. Plus Port will be in a better position to enter the stage.

 

[JustaBattler]

You can't be serious JaB.
He'd be in our best 3 players.

Ability undoubted.
