Gibbs requests trade to Adelaide

[craig crowing]

Only if a Rockliff came up, or someone similar (doubt we're getting Rocky though)

Otherwise no

I think you might be wrong .
As believe if Gibbs deal going pear shape if we wanted we could get Rockliff under his real value.
Also remember Carlton cannot hold out till end to make a deal as they have GWS players to get and would be real keen to hold onto their 5 pick or a 1 st rounder at least.

You do realise he is taller that modra, the greatest FF we've ever had?

You do realise the game has changed in the last 2 decades?

 

[Malifice]

Yep all part of the master plan to trade out your entire forward line, genius move.

He hasnt played a game since we traded him 12 months ago.

So far it seems to be working out well.

Bryce Gibbs deal will rely on Carlton securing quality midfielder during trade period
JON RALPH, Herald Sun

CARLTON will only consider allowing Bryce Gibbs to be traded back to Adelaide if it can secure a quality midfielder in the trade period.

The Blues were aware of Gibbs’ family issues in recent months but were still blindsided when the 27-year-old asked for a trade on Monday.

Gibbs’ partner Lauren Tscharke is also from Adelaide, with the pair welcoming first son Charlie early last year.

The club has considered but dismissed as unrealistic the possibility Gibbs might commute back and forth for a period of time until his issues are resolved.

TRADEHQ: LATEST NEWS AND WHISPERS

Adelaide small forward Charlie Cameron could be part of a potential trade for Gibbs, with the Crows also having to offer up pick 14.

But the Blues would need to secure a quality midfielder either through the Gibbs trade or in exchange for Geelong-bound Zach Tuohy to consider releasing their star midfielder to Adelaide.
Carlton entered the trade period looking at bulking up its midfield rather than losing a premier onballer at the peak of his powers.

The Blues are aware they are well short of the 10-12 midfielders they need to rotate through their side even when Marc Murphy returns next year.


Adelaide’s Brad Crouch has also been raised as a potential swap for Gibbs given the Blues’ lack of midfielders.

The Blues have gone cold on Richmond’s Ben Lennon, who the Tigers believe hasn’t worked hard enough to maximise his talent.

They will start to horse-trade on a swap for half-back Tuohy in coming days, aware the Cats only want to trade a player rather than draft picks.

If the Blues could secure an exciting young midfielder from the Cats for Tuohy it would help ease the pain of losing Gibbs to Adelaide.

The last footballer to commute as he finished his vet degree — Blues football manager Andrew McKay, from Brisbane to Melbourne — said the Blues had not given up hope of Gibbs staying.

“The thing we need to remember is Zach is an uncontracted player so he is well within his rights to explore his options,’’ he said.

“Bryce is a unique situation for family reasons. It doesn’t stop it making this an opportunity for us.

“We want to make the club better, we want to build our depth, we want good young players in the establishment and that’s what we will endeavour to do.”

Jon Ralph must read the Carlton board.

Still think it will be 13 and Lyons pick for Gibbs and 44.

If that happens, what do we pay for Rockliff? Can only see it getting done with a 2017 1st.

Do you mean Gray? Gibbs is as good as Gray

Absolutely no way. Gary is in top 10 players in AFL and that hurts me to say that.

 

[Penetrator]

Would Rory Atkins be an option to be involved in the trade ?

Carlton decides to hold Bryce Gibbs to his 3 year contract ..........View attachment 298988

Who cares, we don't have him now, it's not a loss of ours. Forcing him to stay against his wishes and the accompanying downturn in form will be your loss. Enjoy your disaffected player, we'll soldier on, don't worry about us.

I'd rather he wasn't traded but I wouldn't rule him out entirely.

Nice. So Hawks are paying for Gibbs to come to us? Very kind of them.

Chance IMO

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Would Rory Atkins be an option to be involved in the trade ?

Yes unfortunately. Fan favorite but expendable.

 

[alexmc]

They better not trade cameron. If he tidies up his finishing he could be an absolute gun. Take some turds like douglas and mackay, thanks haha

Pick 13 + Atkins for Gibbs + what?

 

[1970crow]

You're not missing much. He's one of the more overrated players on Adelaide's list.

He has a fantastic highlights reel, which is why he's hyped up severely. The reality is that, when he's not doing that 1-2 spectacular things, he doesn't do nearly enough of the mundane to justify the esteem with which many of the supporters hold him.

Says a died in the wool David fuquing Mackay fan. Jesus Vader, WTF is wrong with you? kids a late starter to the game, has played less than 50 games and cracked our top 10 in the b&f from memory. You are the most idiotically biased poster on this board.

 

[GROTTO]

Don't know. I would feel bad for an SANFL club who lost 2 or 3 gun players a week or 2 before finals. All that work for nothing.

A way this could work would be to have AFL lists like they do in baseball and then farm players out when not needed.

Its the player that makes the final call if he wants to go.

Its a dream for almost every SANFL player. Imagine getting drafted and playing in a top team, its stuff of legends. I would want this as a player.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

You walked in with 13 + Lyons.

I'm not seeing how 13 + Cameron is massively over that.

No, we didn't, stop reading ruccis articles.

13 + Cameron is overs, I seriously doubt will be part the deal, but if he's on the table then pick 13 won't be.

I think they care

 

[Scorpus]

Pick 13 + Atkins for Gibbs + what?

Pick 24. Atkins is better than Lyons.

 

[weirdo]

Bryce Gibbs likes that you photoshopped his face onto Thommo's guns

Nope! It's an original picture of Bryce; I drew the guernsey on myself, but I'm sure he does like that you think his guns are comparable to Thommo's.

 

[GROTTO]

Yes to the first, no to the second. Would've thought the first was self explanatory and the second I'd pretty much already answered.

I was seeking clarification.

I dont think Betts was a great player at Carlton. He was very very good. But a great? A class ? top Shelf, elite small forward? We disagree, thats fine.

 

[footywedge]

Or go the other way.

Open trade week up sometime close to round 13 or 14. Have it go for 3 months and clubs who bottom out could trade a star player out to win a premiership.

Yeah one of your worst ideas... And that's saying something!

 

[Huntercrow]

B Crouch??

Yeah im not a Brouch fan. His early season misdemeanour while in recovery said it all. Just doesnt have his head in the right place. His brother however is a different story. Only half the talent but twice the application.

A trade might send him a message.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Pick 24. Atkins is better than Lyons.

Agree with pick 24. Disagree he's better than Lyons at this stage (higher ceiling, though), but he'll cost more because...

he's contracted

 

[blackadda]

No way trade Charlie Cameron for gibbs I wouldn't do it straight up.. Gibbs night offer more but Cameron has x factor
