Im just glad the Gibbs trade didn't come to fruition last year. Let's say the crows had a better day last satdee in the GF, Betts kicks 5, Jacobs dominates and hypothetically, Gibbs cuts richmond apart on the outside and wins the norm smith. This could've happened.....and honestly....still could. Crows are still firmly in the window. Gibbs would add a ton to your outside run. This can be a real win win for both clubs if the chests can be deflated a little. Crows are understandably grumpy at the moment so a deal might not happen.
You could have had SPP running around for you for the next 12-15 years, good mates with SPS to boot. Sure you might have had another bottom 4 finish... oh wait, you kept Gibbs and still finished bottom 4! We improved and made a GF, your club went backwards and is now struggling to attract players who were "sure bets" to pick your club.
