Well you are buying into media reports about Carlton not talking to Adelaide and judging Carlton accordingly. You are also buying into the Mitchell trade as though the circumstances are in any way the same. Mitchell is not a better player than Gibbs yet. Sydney have salary cap issues and couldn't afford to keep him. Gibbs has 3 years left on his contract.
Sick of people bringing up the Mitchell trade as though it is the new benchmark for the worth of a midfielder. It isn't.

Look back on my statement, I said "If true" so I clearly wasn't jumping at conclusions
Not buying into the Mitchell trade only, have stated other trades as well such as Beams. Never once said Mitchell was better. Was never the benchmark for me.
In the end it was easier to state/ask what deal has netted a club 2 first rounders, without giving anything in return for a 27 year old. The answer is NONE
While we are on, what makes us sick, is these profound statements of we shouldn't do this and shouldn't do that as a club, which I am sure has really be successful in the past. If any of you think that just going to the draft will fast track a rebuild, you are kidding yourselves, infact we will fall further behind
People should embrace the change, excited that doing something, could work, rather than sitting on the fence, waiting for splinters
