If Gibbs doesn't get done, I'll be very conflicted.

On one hand, I'll be very glad we didn't overpay.

On another, I'll be very mad we didn't get a gun mid, which we really need right now in order to not be stuck in no man's land.
Same. I'll be more annoyed if we get him and overpay, than miss out all together. But if we miss out I hope he's not the only player we're targeting.

If we lose any of Crouchx2 or Lever we have a gap elsewhere on the field. So getting Gibbs wouldn't help the team overall in that instance. Same goes for McGovern and Cameron, albeit to a lesser extent.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand Justin Reid used to be Bryce Gibbs manager, and most likely was his manager when his 5 year deal was as signed (and front loaded).

This would explain a lot of the animosity from Carlton, that the same guy that orchestrated the contract is now the one actively trying to break it.

Im happy to see discussions had with gov and charlie in the mix.

Either leaves and menz comes on.... we're contending.

Id also be happy to see jenkins discussed.

Now. If its 13 and.one of those then we need more than gibbs back of course.

Im willing to trade a bit of our future for contending given our list.

Anyone want to explain to me why the thought is that Silvagni is such a hard arse negotiater until it comes to GWS reserves players...and then it's all " have all my picks, have all my picks"
Silvagni traded one pick (28), and it netted him 4 players with at least one of them (plowman) being good enough to play in most sides

We simply can't trade Charlie it'd be stupid, his ceiling is much higher than the majority of our list. When he builds a midfield tank he will be absolutely devastating through the middle, we saw glimpses against Sydney.

McGovern I wouldn't trade either, massive ceiling and seeing him play in person you really appreciate how quick the guy covers the ground, he is bloody lightening.

Caro said a few weeks back there is some tension at Carlton as they are not all aligned on SOS's list strategy

They excite me greatly.

What we need is midfield quality to compete in next 2 years where we've building to since fages got here.

We can't come out of trade week without a better midfield. We do and we're rebuilding.
Just wish we had some higher draft picks in the past to compete with what we're going to be coming up against.

A peaked Shiel, Cogniglio, Kelly, Whitfield, Scully, Griffin
Pick 2 pick 2 pick 1, pick 3... also Shiel would have been in the top 3 if he wasn't pre listed.


Imagine adding Treloar instead of Boyd? **** me

You big noted yourself first Wally
Haha, he did that with me recently as well :D

It's so ridiculous - if you're making up a rumor, it should be within the bounds of credibility.

We're going to trade a young player who has more value than Gibbs, for Gibbs; and a pick?

Yea, right.

If any of those guys are involved then there's no need to use our first rounder
None of those players will be involved as it would be a nett loss and why would we do that. Looks like he is staying at carlton as their would be a board spill if we traded any of the players mentioned which they know full well we won't. They are also seeing if we are so silly to do that for gibbs. Gibbs only has himself to blame. If he really wanted to be a crow which i truly believe he still doesnt he should have done it two years ago when he was out of contract. Stay at the blues and help rebuild the club, you owe them that much.
