1. Lose the best player in the game for unders.
2. Dont replace him during the trade period.
3. Over pay for Hampton with our future second.
4. Even with losing the best mid, we draft a backman with a first round pick.
5. Get rid of serviceable midfielder for peanuts
6. Don't replace him
7. Premiership
Editied for accuracy.

If the deal wasn't done we shouldn't have announced he was coming home
We didn't. We announced that Gibbs had requested a trade to us, but recognized that he was a contracted player, so we would work with Carlton to try to work something out.
It was not announced anywhere that Gibbs would be playing for the crows next year.

Glad we set our price and walked away.

If Gibbs really wanted to move, he could have been more public and moved the process along. He was silent and he is the one that has to deal with the outcome.

At least we have reasonable cash to roll forward for free agents next year and still think we can pick up Gibbs much cheaper next year.
Of course we should have had a set price and walked away. But we should have also had other deals in case of this situation... No Plan B and that sucks

And it made it public.
