Please dont cave Reid and Co. We cannot overpay for Gibbs, we'll end up like the Smear paying for big names to come in with no chance of bringing through talent for years to come via the draft.

If it was a sensible trade yes, but not if it is overs. Gibbs other half will find it even harder and be demanding trade this time next year

Reporting coming out now the Gibbs deal didn't get done, Reid should be sacked if he was peddling over minor details
Let's not jump on the Victorian spin

Too from day one said we would not sell the farm to get him

Carlton obviously demanded more than what we were willing to pay

Let's wait for all the information before we pass judgement

So we didn't pay overs for Gibbs.

Carlton are stuck with a player that doesn't want to be there (and possibly going to be paid megabucks to play at the Northern Blues), we still keep our first round draft pick, which if used wisely could get us a gun player that could turn out to be better than Gibbs.

Previous administrations would've paid overs for Gibbs, so while disappointed we didn't land him, I commend the club for sticking to their guns.

No problem wih Reid not parting with 2 first rounders.

Anyone that can do football who isn't associated with Carlton knows that is masive overs for a 28 y.o.

Disappointed we didn't have Rocky as a backup.

Disgusted we kept Thommo and traded Lyons for 43.

No sympathy for Gibbs, he could have come home as a FA, he chose to wallow in the mediocrity that is Carlton so he can now suffer in his jocks.
