Did SOS end up making his banking records for the period available to the AFL?
Better question. Is the AFL making a big deal about this 22 years later? If anything suspicious surrounding that period came into their view, they would investigate it.

The fact remains that they haven't and are still not going to. So rambling on about this speculative cheating nonsense is only saying more about how painful you are to communicate with.

So that's a no.


Was all swept under the rug mate.

There's a big difference between having an opinion on an opinion forum (which I standby, I don't rate SOS as a list manager but that's my prerogative), to posting inflammatory remarks the day after a Grand Final. It just shows a lack of class and poor taste given the circumstances.

If the comment was "Adelaide were rubbish and Gibbs could have helped Adelaide with their drive out of defence while negating Graham" then sure, it's a valuable opinion that actually adds something to the discussion- but to make a sarcastic comment/joke regarding Adelaide's 2018 draft pick and Gallucci's performance- just shows that being apparently the role of being moderator doesn't involve setting an example and acting with any class during discussions.
Your definition of 'inflammatory' is certainly interesting. Your opinions on SOS are poorly researched and defined, however you continue to churn them out. On the other hand opinions about Adelaide (who were once your 'team supported' listing are supposedly a no-go zone. Different sets of rules it seems.

To be fair, Hawthorn won three premierships being a skilful side with great ball movement. Just sayin.
Hawks had a hard edge to them the Crows simply didn't have on Saturday.

Hawks relied on Hodge, Franklin, Roughead, Lewis, Mitchell, Rioli etc all to win them games in September. All were willing to do the hard stuff when needed.

Don't think I can say the same for Walker, Jenkins, Betts, Sloane etc. All went missing when things got hard.

It was something teams saw midway through the year when they started getting into Sloane and the Tigers used to their advantage on Saturday with their pressure.

Hats off to Jack Riewoldt in this regard. Could've dropped his head after his first couple of shots on goal, but instead he chased, he tackled, he put his body in and his head over it, tried his guts out.

Correct. We definitely lack a hard edge. Too many good citizens in our team.

Have crows fans mentioned young graham from Richmond?
Pick 51. Home grown boy overlooked by crows.
Believe desperately wanted to play 4 crows..mad supporter as a kid.. loved sloane.
Not sure why you are asking this on the Gibbs thread.

We rated Polholke higher. He looks a good prospect, so let's see who ends up the better player.

Our recruiting team get far more right than wrong... but no one is perfect.

This is one of the strangest threads currently on Bigfooty , as an outsider looking in it just reads like

Carlton supporters really want to trade Gibbs to Adelaide and are happy to do it - But want 2 1st rounders for the player who will turn 29 before he plays a game for the crows.

Adelaide supporters really do want Gibbs but want him for a 'Reasonable pick' but dont want to get reemed in the trade - But they do really want him.

Gibbs wouldnt have made any difference to the result of the Grand Final to be perfectly honest, The only player's that might have changed the result i believe would have been Dangerfield & Franklin

I think the trade will get done if Gibbs & Adelaide still want to do it but will probably look more like

Gibbs + #56 for #16 + #34 at the best for Carlton
Gibbs - #16 as the best for Adelaide (which i think is probably about fair)

Carlton want this deal to happen just as much if not more than Adelaide to continue with their rebuild and need the picks to bring in players like Kennedy & Smith (if the reports are correct)

Gibbs would fit so well at Adelaide its not funny. Will be a better pickup than Betts and Jacobs. Put Gibbs into one of the best sides in the league and watch him flourish. Will compliment the Crouches and Sloane perfectly. Super durable player who will play for at least 4 more years, get the chip off the shoulder, pay up and reap the rewards Adelaide.

I would not be happy with your compensation. The deal does not cut it , Gibbs is a quality, durable midfielder he'll defend well and create play or is equally damaging as a forward kicks goals.
At the Crows he’ll realise his potential.
I'd #16 and a reasonable youngster or #16 and a pick in the early #20 to #25. No less

For a 29 yo thats overs , Gibbs has only 1 suitor and carlton need this trade as much as Adelaide
I would even say that the trade would be more important to Carlton than Adelaide to continue to bring in fresh talent

You cant rebuild on the regular 1-2 picks a year
