Gibbs requests trade to Adelaide

[Big Gazoongas]

Kane might be on the money too,,

Kane who?...Cornes?

 

[SloaneysDanger]

don't mind that - better than paying big overs

Yeah it will be fun not winning a premiership while we're in the premiership window.

 

[Tex200]

This is a stunt. A crows PR stunt to send a very direct message to Carlton, we are not going to pay overs.

I would not be surprised if Gibbs manager isn't on the phone to SOS within the hour.

Correct - Tom C is a card carrying Crows fan, first shot back at Vic Media inc.

Good on him

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Without pick 13 , it'll be difficult for Carlton to get both Marchbank and Pickett without giving pick 5.

Yep. Tom is a 'friend of the crows family'

[BunjiMac]

I really like how we've played this

Might be more chance of that if we don't sell the farm for 1 cheesecake.

 

[xazos79]

In fairness, Danger is a top 5 player in the comp and bona fide match winner singlehandedly.

Indeed. I was just pointing out the difference in power a club has when the player is on a contract.

We're not winning a premiership with our current midfield. If people think we can they're living in dreamland.

 

[Bicks]

Delidio??

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

I think we're a good chance to make the finals again but let's not act like we'd be certainties to be top 4 with Gibbs. If you knew what the picks were going to be before the deal, how many of following pick swaps would you agree to? Let us assume Carlton finishes 15th next year.(Before free agency compo/ academy selections)

11 for 22 + 29
12 for 22 + 30
13 for 22 + 31
14 for 22 + 32
15 for 22 + 33
16 for 22 + 34
17 for 22 + 35
18 for 22 + 36

 

[hippyhippy]

well this isnt going well for sos ... if we walk away .. sos will be getting a bad deal from gws i would think... they also just need to hold out.

 

[Sam_Malone]

I think this shows we will not be using 2 firsts round picks for Gibbs

 

[hey shorty]

I really like how we've played this

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

 

[The Edukator]

Without pick 13 , it'll be difficult for Carlton to get both Marchbank and Pickett without giving pick 5.

Looks line they'll on trade geelongs first next year they get for touhy. Shouldn't hamper them

I certainly hope not

 

[hey shorty]

Looks line they'll on trade geelongs first next year they get for touhy. Shouldn't hamper them

That won't be enough.

 

[ams4crows]

Hey gold coast we'll have Prestia for 13 and Lyons cheers thanks.

Feel like the Cuban missile crisis in here right now a touch of a button and things could go off!!

 

[SloaneysDanger]

If we don't get Gibbs the club has failed and Roo has failed.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Looks line they'll on trade geelongs first next year they get for touhy. Shouldn't hamper them

I don't think Geelong will offer a first rounder for Touhy.

 

[Big Gazoongas]

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!

 

[Pdub]

If it's true that Carlton knocked back Lyons and Atkins, you can almost guarantee both will be in All Australian consideration next year.

 

[the universal]

Lucky we kept Thommo

Hopefully we can use a late pick on someone who can wheel Thommo around the ground on game day.

 

[dogs105]

If we don't get Gibbs the club has failed and Roo has failed.

Would you be happier giving up, say 13, next years first and McGovern to get Gibbs?
Is there a line where you would say "too much"?
