Honestly I think if Gibbs wants to go a trade will get done and there is a possibility we might need a third or forth club to get involved.
I'd take 16 and 27 from Melbourne with our 38 going back to Adelaide, but that would also depend on what else Melbourne send you blokes.
That is the problem though and the reason that it won’t happen.
Carlton want 2 x firsts or maybe a first and second
Adelaide offered a first and a third last year, that was their final offer.
I can’t see Adelaide offering more when Gibbs is now a year older.
Carlton would be thinking, if we get a great price for Gibbs then he can go but if not we are really happy to keep him.
Adelaide would be thinking, this is our maximum price, if we get him great but if we don’t we will look at other trades.
If it doesn’t happen this year then Carlton will definitely get nothing for him, he will have another year to run on his contract in 2019 and then if his body is still holding up then Adelaide get him for nothing
