Herald sun reporting Gibbs and 2017 second round pick for 2016 & 2017 first round picks. Overs for mine but would be pretty happy if it happens.
There are a thousand things I hate about this deal if true

1. It's more than we got for danger
2. Most of all, what I hate most, is that this is a deal we could have done on day 1. Probably before lunchtime

Why drag it out if we're going to pay so much?

2 firsts yes, if they were a least 1 in the top 10 if not both

2 1sts that are 13 and something teams would be banking on being 13 or worse with a low 2nd rounder coming back, no.

So many people judge a deal of a few key points from it and not the total.

not all 1st round picks are equal, you cant just ignore the other components involved in the deal also
We need to judge what we pay vs what we get in similar trades.
When we pay more for Gibbs than we got for Danger then we need to get tougher at the trade table.

Some of us feel the two first rounder thing is passive aggression. He is simply not worth it. We would never be party to it. Many of us know we don't need gibbs, we've finnished top six two years running without him. Many us feel you guys are screwed either way. If he stays at your club, he's an injury waiting to happen. he quite clearly doesn't want to be there and neither does his family. If he leaves you might not win a game next year.

Its in your clubs best interest to do this trade and right now you're not looking to professional.

Lets just go and get Rocky. One early second could see it done.
I don't see how we get him for a second. If Brisbane hold onto him and let him walk as a free agent next year, the compensation would be better than that (assuming he gets a first or end-of-first round pick).

Highly doubt this will happen now
He is on like 750k a year and injury prone, which is only going to be worse the older he gets.
Put him at the club with the lowest injury rate last year... bam, 22 good games from Brett Deledio

Am fine with the price too, don't care about cap
