So do you think we factored in Gibbs when we went for Motlop?

It's in a high interest account until next year. They named the account "Jeremy"

contract re-negs and front loadings
I'm not entirely convinced we were offering Motlop what has been reported.
I'm also not convinced we would have gotten Gibbs if we did get Motlop.
That’s the answer I was looking for.
RFA, we have cash, time and his brother to make it happen.
West Coast are going to be in for some pain this year and he may be ready for a move.
We need to start a death riding West Coast thread.
Ok let’s say it was $500k and if you’re not convinced we were always going to target Gibbs you’re showing poor judgement.
Our priority would have been Gibbs >>>>>>Motlop.

How many death riding threads are too many ??
I give us around the B/B+ mark. Did very well considering the circumstances on the Lever and Cameron deals. The addition of Gibbs makes our midfield elite. We upgraded our first round pick to a point where we can get a very, very good talent (which I would not have been as confident with if we still had 16). We heavily traded into next year's super draft with three top 20 picks. Gibson is a free hit, and will probably play some games and do alright.
Most importantly, we were active. Much, MUCH better than simply standing still, like Richmond and Sydney

Gibbs will go a fair way towards winning a flag.
Brad, Matt, Sloane, Gibbs, Greenwood on the improve ... not bad. Not bad at all.

Wasn't happy at all with the Gibbs trade. Thought we lost that one very badly. Still think we paid too much. I guess it all hinges on the players we get with the picks we got, just how bad it was.
Over all though we won in almost every other deal we did. Very strong position for next years draft, and a decent pick this year with 12. Like a lot of other posters, I hope we get Fogarty. I just think we need to get some South Australia back into the AFC. Its fine to say best available, but the reality is we are always looking over the shoulder waiting for the next top pick to up and leave. We need to retain players to keep building.
I didn't think much of the Gibson trade. Didn't think he offered much at all really, until I went and watched some footage and watched his press conference. I have to admit, I went early on this one. He has made an impression on me. Reckon he is going to be a solid player for a few years. Looks a tough, hard at it, honest player. This one could end up being a real bonus.
Are we a better squad going into next season? ATM, no. We lost more than we gained in ready to go talent IMO. It will again come down to that organic growth thing and the players who do or don't take their opportunities. Doedee has to be a player. This ones on Ogilvy. Its time for his boy to stand up and take a place in our defense. Gallucci and Poholke need to come on too if we are going to contend again in 2018.

Agree with everything there Crowked. The strategy essentially is - hope Carlton and Melbourne don't go well, hope young kids step up in Lever/Cameron absence, then reap rewards in next years draft based on that. Like i said in the other thread, two first rounds for Gibbs was only reasonable if we got a 2018 2nd round outright in return or similar. All the swapping of 2018 picks is a gamble under the assumption the Blues will feature in the bottom 4 again. With Kangaroos, Suns, Lions and Dockers all in the rebuild, it's hard to say. Other than that, a haul of picks for next year is what we wanted and getting pick 12 is way overs for Cameron.
Gibson offers not much. I assume just experience in the SANFL but I hope he doesn't get in the way of other players like the Gooch, Milera, CEY, Hampton and Poholke.

No they did not do it the same as Smith, that why the Crow will have another player running hard from the Back lines, to support Liard.
And CC was a Forward Mid not a defender. MacKay had more run from the back line than CC, CC received most of his ball forward of Centre.
If you want some run and carry then Seedsman will do that But from the Wing as I Like Hampton, Milera or Gibson defensive game better than Seedsman.
You need to remember
CC a Forward with spells in the Middle. and can be replaced going forward.
Smith is an injured player who will return to the Crows.
