Yeah of course, Gibbs will be sipping lattes in Adelaide.

Get off your high horse, you're not getting him unless we are satisfied with what you offer.
You'll be satisfied. No doubt at all.
SOS will be the one who will be deciding what we accept. So pay up or go after someone else.
Scary stuff. Big Bad SOS and his merry band of GWS discards will have to do then. What happens when he runs out of kids that he knew from GWS?

Remind me how McKay and Curmow played this season?
They may turn out good players but you're being slightly premature on this one
McKay was injured all season and Curnow looked very highly skilled and athletic when he was out there. That isn't my point though - SOS didn't just bring in a bunch of GWS players, he got us into the draft in a big way.

Ill gotten gains from early draft picks due to being shit.
Was hardly a master stroke to drafty Weitering or McKay, just had to have the picks.
Only one of those players was drafted with a pick we directly received for our ladder position.

Stop trolling - you're not even doing that well.

True....he will be great for Carlton. Wright and Kedge were good fits and are good stop gaps but not good enough to take you further just like Lamb, Jones, Phillips, Sumner, Everitt, Plowman and Tutt.
But you guys are on the upward curve

Plowman does not belong on that list. Had a very good first season with us.

SOS wasn't there when Tutt, Everitt and Jones were picked up.

Plowman is very good. Phillips an able second ruck. Rest were salary dumps to get the deal for a song.

So SOS expects opposition teams to give them overs for every contracted player?

Seems legit.
Gibbs is the only contracted player we have involved in trade talks. Touhy's contract is up.

If there was 1 more year with Bryce, you might have a point. But 3 years of sipping coffee in Adelaide? LOL by the time his contract ends with us, you'll be out of the picture in terms of being flag favourites and Gibbs will be rapidly declining from drinking all that coffee and not playing any football for 3 years.

Yeah, and you'll replace us as a potential flag favourite, right?

LOL.
