Remind me of when the Melbourne list manager announced Lever was leaving while in contract without notifying Adelaide.

Completely different situations
Remind me when the Crows list manager had Lever come into his office and say he was leaving, forgot about it and then whinged to the media that it was announced without telling him first

Except that's not what happened. Gibbs says he is up for the trade. Carlton say it's unlikely and we would want the mother of all deals. Crows announce Gibbs wants out to put pressure on us to deal. We never said we didn't know prior, only that we were ambushed by the Crows putting out a statement about a trade for a contracted player we were not likely to give up.

Better let #9067 know

Extremely unlikely. I've said it a couple of times in this thread already... Carlton will not trade a contracted Gibbs unless it is a compelling offer for us, it's really that simple. It's not going to be a win-win for everyone concerned; if Gibbs is to be playing in anything other than Navy Blue next year, what most would consider an 'overs price' will have to be paid.

There is certainly no way we will be including a top 10 (potentially top 5) pick from a supposedly superior draft next year IMO. It would be an emphatic no.
What if it went the other way? Your outgoing included a draft pick from you this year and you got a first rounder from next year? Say your second from this year for Adelaide's first from next year?

If Adelaide turn Cameron and Lever into Gibbs and Francis (assuming Francis does a big running preseason) then they are certainly challenging again next year. Despite the "super draft" tag, it will be a late first round, so fairish.

Having said all that, seeing you guys are looking to challenge in 3-4 years time, wouldn't it make sense to get value out of Gibbs now? I think it would be bizarre not to.

If Essendon was bottom 4 I'd happily trade out Hurley or Hooker to market value, especially if it included a good pick for next year.

We don't have a second this year.

Because he let his ego and emotions get in the way (in response to Reid''s initial misstep).

As you can tell from this thread, it's all about SOS.

Whereas It should have been all about what's a win-win deal for the two clubs.

This should have been do-able because the two clubs are in opposite situations. CFC needs to rebuild, AFC needs to top up a good list. Should've been as easy win-win.
Why does it have to be a win-win? You can't tap up contracted, required players and expect us to just bend over and accept it because we are in a rebuild.

Imagine if we tapped up Talia all season and he wanted to come home, you wouldn't just accept a market value deal, you'd want 200% more because he's a gun and crucial to your side.

The arrogance of some Crows fans is hilarious.

Flag count of both clubs this century = 0

Arguing over whose mediocrity has been better is loser talk, there is only 1 measurement of success.
Mediocrity?.. you have deliberatly not answered the question because one club has had almost a teamful of top 10 draft pick players and the other has not had one in the same time. I think the one that has had none has played in more prelim finals and has just played in a gf. Imagine if that same club had had 20 or so top 10 draft pick players considering its track record for developing players

How would carlton fans see this possible 3 club trade.
Lever to melbourne
Picks 10 & 16 & 27 to carlton
Gibbs + Carltons 2018 1st round pick to adelaide
Next year’s draft meant to be looking much better than this years. And Carlton will likely have a top 3 pick again. I’d hesitate trading a top 3 pick for 10 & 16 in the same draft, let alone a top 3 from a stronger draft. And so that means Gibbs is going for a value of around pick 27 in a weak draft. No thanks.

Maybe 10 and 27 for Gibbs and Carlton’s 2018 2nd rounder?

They are 44 games into a 66 game rebuild - It should be complete by the start of 2019 season with SOS having 4 drafts / Trade periods completed
The rebuild should be complete by then. All but a handful of players will remain from when Bolton took charge. From there, I expect the club will reduce player turnover and focus recruitment more on balancing the list properly position or talent wise, while putting development into the kids they’ve already drafted.

Still would not do it.
Ultimately it is still only a pick 10 for Gibbs at the most.
10th best player in a draft generally not going to be a game changer long term.
Gibbs is of more value what he helps allow the younger turks like SPS, Fisher and Cuningham do in the present as they develop without the pressure of needing to perform at the levels he can already.

If they ever started talking about gaining picks around 5 to add to the 3 we already going to use, then I would listen as the person doing the list managing but pick 10 not doing it for me in terms of excitement. I would love pick 10 as it all helps having more than one go at a top 10 pick but not for giving up a player of his value. Has to be something more exciting to let go a contracted player you value. As it was , I thought Sydney gave Tom Mitchell away too cheaply last year but guess his was coming out of contract and salary cap pressure had a say in him going cheaper than his worth.

Win win is the measuring stick of a good deal.

You get to rebuild a young list, we get to top up.
