Seems Adelaide are being foolish in what they are offering. Most of what they have offered has been like steak knives.

Is the Gibbs thing also about just being in Adelaide and therefore open to an offer by Port Adelaide?

I'm thinking there is a chance of the above.

Port's first round pick and Lobbe for Gibbs.
One problem with that is that Lobbe has been shopped around and there's no interest from anyone. He was also shopped around last year, he's a player with zero currency.

Read the scuttle butt.

13 and Lyons was knocked back pretty quickly.
Seems they have tried to offer McGovern and Cameron no dice their either.

Carlton have indicated a minimum of Lever. Adelaide knocked that back quickly.
Cameron and McGovern were sought not offered and this was refused.

"BRYCE Gibbs's proposed move to Adelaide has hit a wall with The Advertiser reporting Carlton is refusing to take calls from the Crows".

Good luck with that Carlton, hopefully he does a McCarthy on you.

Sipping coffee in Rundle mall for 3 years? I don't think he would do that.

So they wont take our first rounder and a second rounder but theyd take ports first and a guy who isnt AFL standard?

Why not?
You'll still have to pay him.

Plus he'd only do it for one year. After that carlton would realise (like GWS) that playing hardball just doesnt work in today's trade environment and then they'd bend over and accept less for him a year later....just like GWS did.

Port are saying they offered up Hartlett to get higher picks along with lobbe

Can't see them giving picks away this year

What BG's worth is subjective and quite irrelevant. This is about a contracted player wanting to leave. We all complain about the players having to much power. The blues are exercising their right to enforce a contract and if he and another club wanted to break that contract then they need to compensated appropriately. If there was 1 yr to run or was OOC then clubs are more reasonable. All clubs will go through this at some point and would be watching these negotiations closely. This is much the same as the Dangerfield trade. Everyone was pressuring the crows to let him go but they matched and forced a trade. Yes they got unders but he was out of contract but up to that point no club was matching. Crows got something back and the option of clubs matching hangs over every FA deal. It's why players like Vickery have been overpaid.
Everyone on hear is hanging s;(t on the blues don't realise that their club will go through the same thing and will hope that their clubs takes the same stance. Clubs taking some power back.

Yet so many of you quote Kane Cornes. Who is only good at pushing buttons on a radio show. Bit choosy with who you quote.
Anyone who quotes Kane Cornes has rocks in their head too. I remember him telling Port fans to buy grand final tickets after watching a pre season training session in February. He's an opinionated twat like his old man.

I believe both crouches will develop and will go a long way this coming year, last year they both improved three fold, so do we need to recruit Gibbs or put faith into what we have
Exactly. The question for AFC is will both crouches stand up so you don't need Gibbs to win a flag. Or, how much are your chances improved if you bring Gibbs in, particularly with the stand-up bros.

As for Carlton and Gibbs yes he doesn't have to leave is contracted but has clearly stated he wants to live in Adelaide
The question mark for you is Brett boltons reaction to this, having a player that doesn't want to be there his philosophies seem non negotiable
The philosophy you ascribe to Bolton was actually in place at CFC before he was appointed on 25.08.15. Henderson was denied a place in the team for the last 3 matches as a result. IMO CFC were wrong and disrespectful to approach LH in that way and I hope Bolton would not treat a listed player in that way.

As to the philosophy itself, it is obviously NOT non-negotiable but must depend on all the circumstances. Were GWS wrong to stand up to McCarthy and send a message to the list that they were not going to be bent over just because a player went home? Dills will say they were because they got less for him this year than last and lost him for this year anyway. But if that loss was the price paid for the message to contracted players "stand out of footy for a year if you want to walk" it will have long term benefits we can never gauge.

Was Richmond wrong to deny Wayne Campbell a transfer to the doggies only to see him become Capt the next year? Hardly (and it is the mistake-riddled RFC I am talking about).

In the case of Gibbs, there is no suggestion he has any problem with the CFC. He just wants to go home for understandable family reasons. The same reasons that will make him all the more determined to perform as well as he can in the next 3 years whereever he plays.

Adelaide would not have offered up Cameron and McGovern in a million years

Go make up stuff somewhere else if you keen to do that
