Gibbs requests trade to Adelaide

[simmo97]

Lyons was rated higher than Gibbs this year.
You give him too much credit.

show me your evidence.

 

[1970crow]

God damn .. hes reached mckay money.

It's pure guesswork and unlikely to be accurate. I'd back TMS on this, his inside mail has always been of high quality.

This is where Carlton can really bend us over.

Lyons to walk to the preseason draft and the Blues get him. In effect then we can lose 1st 2016 and 2017 and Lyons.

I cant believe we have posters here saying losing 2 first rounders isnt a big deal because we got through losing two over Tippett ok.
No, its not ok. If we had those two picks we most likely wouldnt be saying our midfield lacked depth.

 

[FR0GGY]

Pretty sure if I was in Reids position, I'd rather lose the two first rounders and leave it at that

RAMifications hahaha

 

[MRB37]

I would actually rather roll the dice with O'Meara than Gibbs.

Gun mid which would have won us games off his own boot singlehandedly and will cost us less too. Yes he is injury prone but its the risk.

It's easy to say that, but there's 0% chance of it happening in reality.

That would be a ****ing disgrace.....
Might aswell close up shop, this football business isn't really for us

 

[arsene wenger1]

Port will consider it imo, but didnt they sell their first rounder? We should be ok.

If they bid for him we'll need to use 2 picks to secure him

 

[GROTTO]

Depends on how hard we went at him tbh. We dont know and you dont know.

Its easy for you to say that.

 

[MRB37]

show me your evidence.

Champion Data ranking had Lyons ahead of Gibbs.

CD tend to put a premium on contested stats and scoreboard impact though, both areas Lyons was ahead of Gibbs.

Say what you like about SOS, he wins. Weak as piss Adelaide.

 

[CutAboveTheRest]

Ok that message from SOS doesn't fill me with a lot of hope

funnily enough, he's got you and everybody that barracks for Carlton fooled.

 

[MRB37]

Its easy for you to say that.

There's 0% chance he'd come to Adelaide. Doesn't matter how hard we went, he wants to move to Victoria to be with his partner.

Difference is this time we're able to get something for it instead of it vanishing into thin air.

Also we'll be getting a gun midfielder in return.

I do agree however 2 firsts is a too big of a price without us getting something back with Gibbs.

 

[MRB37]

Say what you like about SOS, he wins. Weak as piss Adelaide.

Considering nothing has happened yet you might just be jumping the gun a bit.

How does he win?

This trade week seems to have gotten away from us.
First we thought Hendo would get us a compo pick, but it didnt happen and will most likely go for nothing as a delisted FA.
Secondly we thought we could push out Lyons for a second but with one a bit days to go we havent and he could go for nothing in the PSD.
Thirdly Carlton have decided to act like pricks and make us pay way overs.
Fourth, we dont appear to have any other irons in the fire to get another mid in trade period.
Concerning.
Also scarey to see on the news that they were saying that Noble leaving has hurt our ability to trade because he was the only experienced person doing that at our club.

We were never getting Gibbs for 13 only.

Never.

 

[little graham]

We had our 1st & 2nd rounders taken off us for 2 years

That is why its imperative we don't give up first rounders for a 28 year old with baggage. they come along to few and far between for us a club that never bottoms out.

No mention of the pick we would get back you mental giant?

This is from the Carlton website:

Discussions continue between Carlton and the Adelaide Football Club ahead of the AFL’s Trade Period deadline on Thursday afternoon.

General Manager of List Management and Strategy Stephen Silvagni says there have been ongoing discussions with the Crows in recent days, after Bryce Gibbs signalled his desire to return to his home state due to personal reasons.

“There have been discussions with Adelaide to settle on a fair trade, but while we are empathetic to Bryce’s personal situation, Bryce has a contract with the Carlton Football Club and we expect him to see it out,” Silvagni said.

“He is a contracted player, however as yet, no deal has been put forward that we feel would sufficiently match the value of Bryce; given his standing as a 200-plus game leader at our football club.

“Obviously the two clubs have their respective positions on what is a fair trade, so we will continue to work through this.”

Silvagni added that discussions also remain ongoing following Zach Tuohy’s request to explore his options elsewhere.

“Zach has chosen to explore his options, but we are close to a deal on this, and confident we will get a good outcome for our football club,” Silvagni said.

The NAB AFL Trade Period officially closes at 2:00pm on Thursday afternoon.

Ah nothing like the old, cover up to keep the blue baggers happy until the last minute..

There's 0% chance he'd come to Adelaide. Doesn't matter how hard we went, he wants to move to Victoria to be with his partner.

No one in their right minds would have believed Buddy would have gone to Sydney at the end of the 2012 season it would have been also rated as a 0% chance too. No one ever thought Tippett would go to Sydney either. Plenty of examples in AFL.

Shit happens.

Of course its extremely unlikely, but never say never. Its a defeatist attitude to have otherwise and a real loser mentality. Having a sense of realism is also required, but I would hope that our Club has at least explored all these options.

Edited for accuracy.

They have to pay a guy who doesn't want to be there, with family problems.

Injury waiting to happen.

 

[Wood_Duck]

He got an article published on the CFC website. Big winner.

Reality is that he can now announce a trade on Thursday and tell the Carlton masses that he got an incredible deal for Gibbs.
