Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 37!, 1 (busted) BIG FISH ALERT last October 9th) (9 confirmed! 17 Busted!)

[Crow till I die]

I think people forget we actually swapped second round picks. Let’s make this really clear, we gave up two first round picks with a minor upgrade of our second.

It was a terrible trade made worse when he didn’t want to play for us. Sadly the major players in that deal still hold power to be involved in this years trade.

I don't want to get too involved here, but the full deal is in this link

The Gibbs deal unpacked: Crows' smart drafting, the other piece yet to happen

Two first-round picks was a huge price to pay for Bryce Gibbs. Mitch Cleary looks at how the deal ended up for the Crows

How the Gibbs deal panned out​

ADELAIDE RECEIVED

Bryce Gibbs

Pick 77
Not used

Carlton's 2018 second-round pick
After the Blues finished last in 2018, this pick sat at the start of the second round. The Crows packaged it up, along with a 2019 fifth-round pick and sent to GWS exchange for pick 28 (Will Hamill) plus a 2019 second-round pick, a selection that was Carlton's courtesy of one the Giants had received from Carlton in the deal to send Will Setterfield to the Blues. That 2019 second-round pick (pick 26, Will Gould) was then packaged up by the Crows with a 2020 fourth-round pick and sent to Sydney for pick 28 (Josh Worrell) and a 2020 third-round pick (the Swans had obtained from Fremantle).

Carlton's 2018 third-round pick
Packaged up in the three-way trade with Sydney and Carlton to send Mitch McGovern to the Blues, Sydney to acquire second-round picks and the Crows to end with pick 16 (Ned McHenry) and Shane McAdam (rights to bring in a mature-age player pre-draft from Carlton).


CARLTON RECEIVED

Pick 10 (on-traded from Melbourne as part of the Jake Lever trade)
The Blues used it to secure midfielder Lochie O'Brien at the draft.

Pick 16
The Blues packaged it up along with pick 40 (later on-traded to Brisbane) and sent to the Western Bulldogs in return for pick 28 (traded for Matt Kennedy), pick 30 (drafted Tom De Koning) and a 2018 second-round pick (later on-traded to Sydney). The Dogs used pick 16 on Ed Richards.

Pick 73
The Blues used it to select defender Angus Schumacher at the draft.

Adelaide's 2018 second-round pick
The Blues used it in 2018 as part of the three-way deal with Sydney to bring in Mitch McGovern and sent it, along with others, to the Swans to strengthen their draft hand. It was a pick that ultimately changed hands to St Kilda and then Melbourne for the Dees to draft James Jordon at pick 33.


Just covering off on the bold part in your statement, the Carlton 3rd round and our 2nd round were close - 5 pick difference. The carlton 2nd we got and the pick 16 we gave up only had a few places difference.

So in my opinion (and others are free to disagree), we paid pick 10, downgraded pick 16 to the start of 2nd round and downgraded our 2nd to the carlton start of 3rd round pick - so a straight 1st rounder and then 2 small pick downgrades (approx 5 places per pick)

Sounds like Rowey may have had a talking too over the weekend. His stance seemed to have softened a little this morning. He also flat out mentioned that he'd spoken to current players (after alluding to it, on the show Friday).. but stopped short of saying what camp they were in, saying he'd had both support & criticism.

Especially after we struck out so badly on the FA front. They will want a good news story and I can see them doing something to destroy the club in their haste

That's what he usually does. Goes hard, gets told off and cause he's a softy he believes them when they tell him he's making the problem worse and they're trying to fix it.

The double Whammy
We paid way too much for a terrible player

We paid the price thinking we were getting Gibbs in his prime, where in reality he was cooked.
