Gibbs requests trade to Adelaide

[arrowman]

Once the trade is completed the narrative will be that this was holding up other important trades and it was in Carltons best interests not to get bogged down ..... Hey look here's Marchbank and Pickett

Yes, I think it will happen sooner than people expect.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Mine wasn't - he's done nothing here and is starting to look like he doesn't belong. I think we trade him and give the kid a final chance to resurrect his career. He ain't getting any younger...

You're being overly dramatic, how old do you think Menzel is? His career is not at a point where it needs to be 'resurrected'. He's only been on the list one season, people just need to be patient.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Why aren't you guys re-signing him?

Need to get into the second round and probably the only current 22 player we'd be willing to give up.

 

[95bluemember]

Lyons is that decent player, great character, gets his own ball, and ruthless in front of the sticks. He's just 2-3 years away from being the experienced player we need.

But if he's not cool enough for SOS he will find a home elsewhere to play a long fulfilling and hopefully successful career. Blues will get the pick(s) from that trade too and we will be expecting change.

The media are beating up a hardball effort from the Blues but when a player, who is one of the club leaders, publicly announces he wants to leave then its game over (trust us, we know!). Salvage what you can or else ya just gonna end up hardballing yourselves.

That may be true but I think this will take a long time....

 

[Thetrader15]

Why aren't you guys re-signing him?

He has some trade value (except at Carlton it would appear) and we have an abundance of his type in our team thanks to the Sando contested footy years

 

[the universal]

Not from where I sit. So OK for people to discuss trading Charles, CEY, Lyons and not Menzel?

Trading a young, immensely talented player who we traded for last year, who happened to have two concussions over the course of the season and not benefited by coming in with a poor fitness base and a selection team allergic to leaving poorly performing players out of the side?

Honestly, what is the point of even suggesting this?

 

[Thetrader15]

Need to get into the second round and probably the only current 22 player we'd be willing to give up.

I'd also give up Cheney and McKay who are starting 22

 

[Sam_Malone]

Why aren't you guys re-signing him?

He wants more than we are willing to pay him.

 

[fairfooty]

I'm not convinced on Gibbs either and won't be desperately unhappy if it doesn't work out. Does he actually want to play for us or does he just want to come home with a decent pay packet?

And isn't this the guy who only a year or two ago was scathing about Adelaide and said he'd never play here? Not convinced. In fact focusing on someone who for his own reasons says he 'wants to come home' could be a distraction from other players we should seriously consider.

 

[Roo Lives Again]

So we only like them who are nice to the crows?

No but they're complete w***ers. The way Stevens treated MM was a disgrace and yet his media mates were lauding him.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Why aren't you guys re-signing him?

Because we have given him a low ball contract so we can bring in Gibbs

Up to 6 clubs interested in him, he obviously holds some value

 

[Gets!]

Our system works. We picked tippet up at 32 the year Gibbs went one. we picked Dangerfield up at 10 the year after and Sloane at 44 the year after that. All played better football for us. Than Gibbs ever will.

The trade will be done, but he's not worth 13 to us.

And how many flags did we win over this time frame?

Ok your not convinced so where do you find the quality mid that we need to be a genuine contender ?

I've stated this once before, but some people talk about Menzel as if he's the same as a 25/26 year old Tambling and it's ridiculous.

 

[Gets!]

Trade should be pick 13 for Bryce.

Fair for both parties. Keep the fringe players and later picks out of it.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

what really confuses people is when you quote someone from one thread and post it in the other.

Agree

Thats a very subjective comment.

 

[craig crowing]

I understand why Carlton are pissed, they let Betts go and he is become an absolute mega star at Adelaide. Probably fear the same with Gibbs, it looks really bad for them.

What we can't point finger our latest trade romped the Brownlow with 1 or 2 to go and Gunston won 3 flags.

 

[CrowCro]

13 + Mackay.

He's pretty decent, and about the same amount of experience as Gibbs.

Will flourish at Carlton too.[/QUOTE everyone just wants Gibbs because of the romance involved. He finished 4 th at a weak club in the b&f. He is a mid also so always around the ball. He's good but if Danger gets a first in 9,and second then he's not worth more than 13. Yes Danger was not contracted but he was a restrictive free agent which means we had right to match offer.

Electronic media is the future

Electronic media is the now.

TV is still king of traditional media with 36% of the population receiving their news via that medium but that is off of the back of 55%Boomers and 59% of matures consuming their news there.
The combined digital media consumption is 38%
Print is languishing at 14%
Digital killed the TV, radio, print star.

 

[Gets!]

No - You literally just made that up.

 

[Roo Lives Again]

Nothing else. 13 + Rats is a good deal....and my gut says Rat will want to go home in the coming years. I have no basis except gut feel.

Woah that's overs and no

 

[Sam The Doc]

He has some trade value (except at Carlton it would appear) and we have an abundance of his type in our team thanks to the Sando contested footy years

I rate him, no idea why we aren't interested.

 

[arsene wenger1]

Might turn out to be the case

Hartlet might be used in this scenario I reckon

 

[Roo Lives Again]

Lol, hartlett has said he won't leave Adelaide... & Gibbs doesn't want to play for port.

Bone is trying to compete with his tiser colleagues for the biggest out of touch idiot.

Classic clickbait
