I don't have anything against Roughead, but I would pass on this at the moment. Adding Roughead to the forward line would be nice, but I'm willing to give Mitchell and Levi a chance to show how good they can perform at FF long-term for us. As for Gibbs, I am a huge supporter of his (despite the rantings of the "Gibbs is Jesus!! You must never criticize him!!!" crowd). Yes he is playing with sub-par effort and needs to play harder, but I believe that if the coaching staff can slap some sense into him, he can develop into a much more well-rounded midfielder and be more valuable to us than Roughead.

Be relistic mate for carlton to take the next step we need a true FF.
We all know they dont grow on trees, A racrifice has to be made for carlton to challenge for the Flag.

I know first thought is OHHH NOO WAY!, But think about what we really need.

Its easier to Fill the role of a full forward than a midfielder?
we already have Waite who is well suited for the role.

 

[Close to 17]

Gibbs just needs the rocket up the old A from the next coach

Roughead is average

Me hope this thread grows legs and reaches the people in charge:d:d

NO NO NO Waite is not a true FF! nor do we have anything special in the wood-works..

I agree. If you want to talk Gibbs for Buddy then we have a conversation, but Roughead simply isn't a superstar, which is what I think we would be looking for if we were to trade Gibbs. As Henderson gets better, one of the ruckmen rotates in the forward line and Waite continues to play well, I don't think the need for a stand-alone "star" key forward is as bad as some people make it seem. As I just mentioned, we have a quality group of talls who can rotate through the forward line and exploit whichever matchups are in our favour each week. Add Mitchell and Levi to that mix and we have a pretty decent and versatile tall forward setup, and everyone knows how good our small guys can be (yes, even Eddie).

Basically what I am saying is that I loved watching Fev destroy opponents as much as the next Blues fan, but we don't really NEED that sort of player to be effective. Last year, post-Fev, we were something like the 5th most dangerous offensive team in the AFL, and the most accurate kicking at goal if I have my facts right, which rivals anything we were able to produce with our one-man forward line during the Fev era.

You are on a loser here mate... give it up

We have Levi and Mitchell who are both 198cm+ forwards. Levi especially is being rated as a forward/emergency ruck and was looking good in the VFL as a ruck until he did his knee.

Mitchell is going to be allowed to develop over the next 2-3 years and we will be putting a lot of work into bulking him up while retaining his agility and speed.

As the others have said... Gibbs for Roughhead, no way... Gibbs for Buddy... lets have a chat about it.

Buddy > Gibbs > Roughhead

One team clearly loses out of either trade, so neither would ever happen.

 

[brazilblue]

why would you give up Gibbs for Roughy when you could get Fev for free?

Don't get me wrong they are both bad ideas.

 

[Faz 2000]

Gibbs is in the phase of his career when his own fans get impatient and demand he be an all-conquering superstar RIGHT NOW.

In 2 years time, he will be that superstar. Bit more strength, bit more experience, a bit more mongrel.

And if he's doing that for Hawthorn, people will be burned alive on this forum for trading him.

 

[Sin City]

I would rather stick a pencil in my ear and fall on it than do this trade.

 

[gbatman]

nope, I couldn't bare having another forward who couldn't kick straight. Besides Roughead is not going too well any way.

 

[WALKERTOBETTS]

Bryce Gibbs could end up a player just like Hoops who knows looks like he could be giving it his all? not all good players have to inside players all time. 21=375

 

[TheHeatleyStand]

We just need Gibbs to be the footballer he should be.

 

[GordonBlue]

I hate this kind of shit...

only last week we were praising Gibbs' hard work...

same way last week people were calling for Duigan to be dropped

Can people please build a memory bank bigger than the last game...

 

[HBF]

Gibbs really does need to extend the digit, and start playing the sort of footy we all know he is capable of.

No to that deal.
