So you move on and get something else done. This is an absolute farce.
What else was on offer? No one wanted Rockliff - that tells you something. The other mids all pretty much went to Victoria and no where else. What are we supposed to do about that?

I love this club and its regular refusal to be any better than 5th/6th (at best). I love that this club did not even PLAN to make big moves. I love this club for having a new list manager who made the departed one look competent. I love this club.

Glad we didn't blink. Would have taken him for fair value, but overpaying would only signal how soft we are to deal with.

I've been wanting this sort of stand to be taken since Gunston. If we took it then the last few years of trades likely would have been more in our favour.

We've given a signal that we don't **** around anymore.

So Gibbs spends a decade playing at Carltank in a bottom side. His circumstances change and he asks to be traded back to his home state. Carlton then make demands that the club he wants to be traded to won't meet because they consider them unreasonable. Carlton hang onto Gibbs.
Sure know how to reward loyalty and dedication. If I were Gibbs, I'd sit out next year and join the crows in '18 for nought and screw hardman SOS.
The bloke signed a 5 year contract, he has no one to blame but himself.

So what was plan b,c,d etc?
This is the big cost.

We chose the wrong target and invested trade fortnight for nothing.

Shipped off Lyons unnecessarily for nothing.

We just had to find a way to improve our midfield ASAP whether that was trades or stockpiling 2016 picks…achieved NOTHING.
