Anyone see the Jon Ralph proposed Lever and Gibbs trade? It's horrible.

Adelaide
Lose Lever
Gain Gibbs and Pick 27
Melbourne
Lose Pick 10 and 27
Gain Lever
Carlton
Lose Gibbs
Gain Pick 10
He then goes on to talk about how Carlton getting only pick 10 for a 28yo Gibbs is unders (completely ignoring the fact that Gibbs will actually be 29 by the start of next season), but that Carlton can get Rockliff as a FA to replace Gibbs.
The article includes this gem, referring to Carlton:
"They knew getting rid of Gibbs for unders would have made them feel cheap and left a gaping midfield hole that turned 2017 into an on-field disaster."
Because apparently finishing 16th, ahead of only Brisbane and GCS can be considered a resounding success.
The quote of the article is probably this though:
"And Adelaide will whinge and moan about not getting fair odds for Lever, who they value as two first-round picks.
But the Crows made Geelong pay picks 9, 28 and Dean Gore for Patrick Dangerfield.
So they can hardly sniff at getting Gibbs and 27 for Lever."
Well I guess getting screwed over once at the trade table means the Crows will be ok with it happening again.
