Gibbs requests trade to Adelaide

[Elite Crow]

This is going to be unpopular.

People seem to still want it both ways. Go aggresively for a flag, but avoid the fall.

Yeah chase gibbs... but but what about our future.

Our time is now. Weve crafted a list to challenge now. Danger left a hole and i hate him for it.

I said last year we had to replace him NOW or wed struggle this year. Many thought we'd be fine. Ultimately we had our moments but our mids were found wanting when it mattered most.

We must improve our midfield to contend. Immediately.

If we pay overs from out future... we have a fall. We get a chance to rebuild.

Stop being the mentality many claim to despise in the club. We are the club. How we respond to this trade will have impact on future big decisions . Lets respond in a manner than encourages an appropriate level of risk taking.

If we give up 2 first rounders for Gibbs then our recruiters have failed. They have failed to gauge what price it would cost us before we went down this path.

If we were prepared to give up 2 firsts we should have targeted a younger better player than Gibbs and made it happen.

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.

You reckon the Tigers would trade a contracted Martin for #13 and likely #12-#18? No chance.

 

[Brentmeister]

This shit.

Bit rich for a guy who drafted fairly poorly at GWS and keeps loading up with crappy reject players at Carlton.

It's 10 past 9 have multiple gifs ready! Let's get this show on the road

Lol .. only carlton fans think its over .. id rather walk away tbh.

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

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?

Wow, really putting your balls on the line there Damo...

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.

And getting coffee refills for everybody

And muffins. Don't forget the muffins

I like blueberry, do you prefer raspberry & white choc or double choc chip?

 

[MRB37]

Would rather this than Gibbs probably.

 

[earlsta]

Time we walk away if it's two first round picks.
Let them have gibbs and let them trade their pick 5 for the GWS players.

 

[Cleric]

I think Adelaide is paying overs... Salty much?

We hold our fair traders reputation very seriously.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Would rather this than Gibbs probably.

Oooh ooh oooh

I like it

 

[dogs105]

I want to get cheesecake as much as the next fan, but I don't want to pay croquembouche prices

 

[ithrowcraze]

If we could top 10 protect the 1st rounder next year I'd be much more up for it
