Kane might be on the money too,,
This is the big finger at the SOsage. It gives me more comfort that we aren't paying overs for Gibbs.

See how that works for them regarding Marchbank and Pickett, Looks like the hard nut is going to pay up the big 5. Genius at work!

If we are indeed calling their bluff then yeah I like it.

But what it does is leaves us with the same squad we had this year, and its not enough
And pick 13.

Carlton will crumble though, you watch, just before 5pm this evening.

The way we've gone about this negotiation is very empowering.

I feel like we've called the shots and are not getting pushed around.

If he costs us 13 I'm fine by that but if we hang onto it then we are further away from a flag than we were this year.

If we don't get Gibbs the club has failed and Roo has failed.
If we don't get Gibbs it means we're not going to screw ourselves and help our competitors at the same time.

Its easy to overpay, anyone without any intelligence can do that.

Its harder to draw a line in the sand and walk away when the asking price is too much.

If Carlton are stubborn and demand ridiculous overs we can pay it or walk away.

We can't force them to take less, walking away is the better outcome in that situation.
It would be a fail because we have brought in no one when we need a midfielder or 2.

It looks like we have put all our eggs in the one basket.
