Josh Gibson --> Hawthorn

North should trade Gibson while he is still worth something. Not sure why all the angst. A good ordinary footballer.

Or you could have just said: "I admit defeat, but in a vain attempt at saving face I will throw out the outdated line about how cash-strapped North is, now I will resume wacking off over Pelchen and Kennett".

So answer the question.

Have your players been paid? Seems someone hasn't and wants to walk

Who knows but the fact we're probably closer to a premiership than the other clubs who'd beat our offer and that he barracked for Hawthorn growing up may help sway him.

Gibbo has a long career ahead of him. Any of those clubs are a chance of winning a Premiership before his time is up. I didn't know he barracked for Hawthorn as a youngster, but in a professional environment that shouldn't have too much bearing, especially after playing for a rival club for so long.

Don't get me wrong, Hawthorn would appear to be in the strongest position, but it's nowhere near as easy as "offer them peanuts or get him through the PSD", at least not at this stage.
 
Funny as thread. Would be great if this sort of banter went on as North and Hawthorn discussed the real deal across the trade table. No wonder nothing gets done until 2pm friday! haha

Don't get upset. Gibson is a hack. I just love seeing your club coming to an end soon.

So join in the line at Welfare and put the hand out for more :p

Yes Gibson allgedly wanting out will see the end to our club. Meanwhile you still haven't answered my question. But you do not have the power to reply, so I guess I could taunt you all night.
 
From today's AGE:

JOSH Gibson may be the key domino in this year's trade period after telling North Melbourne this week he wants to be traded to Hawthorn.

Out of contract and out of the country, Gibson called the club from the US this week to inform them of his request to be traded to the Hawks.

A three-year deal worth about $850,000 is understood to be available to Gibson to join last year's premiers, who have been desperately searching for support for an under-manned defence.

Gibson asks for trade to Hawks

Now can we have some serious discussion?

The second round pick is about right, though I think he is probably worth slightly more.
 
Josh Gibson and Pick 18
for
Pick 9 and Pick 25

Hawks get a young, versatile, proven quality player and an upgraded 2nd round pick

North Melbourne get pick 9, giving them two top 10 picks in this years draft.


I doubt anyone would look at that deal and not realise that it is very much win-win.

I would expect Hawks to offer Thorp or some other injured spud. Not saying North would accept it, but that's what they'll offer - for sure.

They will have plans to use pick 9 on a bigger fish than Gibson. Like Sandilands. I doubt it would be in play for this deal unless they do not achieve any other trade for the week, in which case it will be the last trade done.

Agree, second round pick is about right.

Hawks will offer third round, Roos will want first round and they'll end up agreeing on second round, pick 25.

You will need to trade to get a better 2nd round pick then. We will not trade him to you for 25, no chance.

ok mods it's about time you guys give Mcchawk a looong rest.
this unwell in the head moron is a serious troll with a long history of it.

on the subject i'm happy if Josh wants out then accommodate him np but if the hawks are serious it's at least a first rounder as this draft is very shallow indeed (according to those who know).
 
This whole trade will depend on what other options Hawthorn have. If Gibson is the only defender they are chasing then they will have to come up with something decent and do the trade early.

I could see Brad Scott putting his foot down and sending him to the PSD, to send a message that he won't be ****ed with. Can't see Gibbo getting anywhere near Hawthorn in the PSD, especially with a cashed-up Sydney on the lookout for a replacement for Leo Barry. I could see Gibbo fitting in very well in the Sydney structure. So Hawthorn would know the PSD is not the answer, so it depends on how badly they want him?

The only way we would accept Pick 25 is if it comes with a player, maybe Thorpe or Dowler? Hawk fans seem to forget that Gibson is a 25 year old that is in our best 22 and will be in the top 10 of our B & F. I wouldn't think pick 25 alone will get this deal done and can Hawthorn risk playing chicken and waiting till the last minute?

Unless Brad Scott is of a similar view to that of North fans. Which is, Gibson is behind Hansen, Thompson and Grima for defensive positions. And behind 8 players in the midfield. It could be the new coach sees Gibson as back-up, then a solid 2nd round pick could be adequate.

Does the new coach want to rebuild, grab draft picks before the compromised drafts, get rid of players he doesn't like? Who knows. A lot of variables come into play.
 
If you're offering a player around 300K a season, then you'd be willing to give over pick 9 for him.

You dont offer players worth around a second rounder 300K a season.
