Reid stuffed this up for sure! Not the fact that he didn't bend and pay two firsts but the fact he went to the media on day one about a heavily contracted Carlton player. Carlton had other trades in the works and this made them harder to get done.
GWS hang around all trade period waiting to see what we would get from Adelaide for Gibbs. This de valued what ever we would get from you guys.
If he kept it all behind closed doors and worked with SOS to see what could get the deal done instead of doing the opposite you guys would probably have Gibbs now. The deal would of benefited us and use at a manageable price.
To me not pricing himself out of getting Gibbs on 'day one' with an amateur move would make him a little more professional don't you think?
And then carrying on to multiple news outlets that Carlton were unreasonable, unrealistic and unfair to Gibbs in his situation when he made it virtually impossible to get the deal done without it either side being reamed. professional or amateurish?

Carlton wanted a super deal to do the trade. Didn't get what we wanted .... fine
Crows wanted to offer what they thought was fair for them. Didn't get the deal done .... fine
Gibbs wanted to go to Adelaide and Mackay says he was told it would be difficult to make it happen. Didn't happen, too bad move on ..... fine
The only thing that made Justin Reid sound like a petulant child, was that he felt the need to validate the outcome by saying he talked to his mates who apparently told him his offer was reasonable.
He should have simply said they made offers and they weren't accepted and left it at that.

I think that's the part that pissed SOS off the most, he would've already planned the Tuohy trade would net a 17 1st rounder that he would on-trade to GWS for Marchbank+Pickett and remainder.
But NOOOOO Reid had to open his dumb mouth and throw that into smithereens cause once GWS heard that SOS knew they would want 13 instead and Campbell confirmed that this morning on SEN.
All Reid had to do was wait until we had done the GWS deal, then they could've come out with all the Gibbs talk, SOS then probably would've taken 13 and 3rd, cause we then would have 13 to actually use in the draft and could've doubled down into the 2nd round this year or next with the multiple 3rds we would've held.
Absolute amateur from Reid...
Not really sure what SOS is doing wrong. Not selling the farm for anyone.
You guys brought in Long term injured NEAFL player, VFL player and something else un-noteworthy I can't remember. What is the North strategy? Lose hundreds of games experience and replace them with what? North desperately needs a major overhaul, but whatever is happening is one that definitely has no direction.
Exactly! A worst it would of been a 1st and a second with something else going back.
All the media would be about how Adelaide are primed for a chance at flag in 2017, wouldn't be anything about over paying because they could of claimed that SOS gave in from 2 first or a first and a good player.
This would of benefitted both teams and been the most 'professional' outcome.
If I had caused a situation to go from a real positive outcome to one where serious damage control was needed at work, At absolute best id have a written warning and worst case would be lining up a centrelink.

How do you respond to critics saying Adelaide have done jack this trade period and ear to themselves an 'E'?
Surely you would of expected Justin Reid to bring in players to challenge for a Premiership? At least Blues have brought in players under 23 and also managed to keep Pick 5 so overall not dissapointed, if I was Crows supporter I would be
Adelaide’s first picks
2015- Milera
2014- Lever
2013- M.Crouch
2012- Tippett scandal, still got Atkins at 81
2011- B Crouch
2010 - B Smith
2009- D Talia
2008- P Davis
2007- P Dangerfield
That is how Adelaide responds, by taking our first this year and first next year and get 2 best 22 players.
Don't sell the farm when you pick players like that
I did stop at 2007 because 2006 nearly ruins all of that good work. You don't need to look it up, nothing to see there
No doubt the way Reid handled the situation this does become the best move but before it I'm not so sure.
As I type I can hear Reid spin trash behind me on the TV haha.
Haha, the only thing I pray for is that Noble wasn't the one making the draft choices or we could be in some trouble

Had a few this season, but I'll go with the obvious Matthew Wright.
Rowie got a message whilst on air from someone at the Crows apparently saying that wasn't right (Tell Bickley to get his %*^(%$ facts right), or something to that ilk.
Nah, would be delisted if playing for 16 other clubs. Our sanfl players from last year dont count. And none of your recruits would be walk up starts next year unless you carlton.. oh wait, sorry
Rebuilding sides trade for draft picks. Anyway, Plowman.
It was reported down here on Monday that he was offered 5 years

Wow, so you didnt even get compo for the guy who'd go on to become Carlton’s leading goal kicker? Sad though it is, we wouldve surely given you a second rounder for him. Adelaide is really bad at this "trade week" thingie. Do you find that frustrating as a Crow supporter?

Enjoy having a player at your club who doesnt want to be there. That chit runs through a club like a cancer.
No where near the frustration you guys must feel watching Betts kick bags for us.
Adelaide are very good recruiters (not sure Brad Crouch should be included in that list though), I think the deal was pretty crap though for a contracted player. Pick 13 and a third rounder is a big loss for Carlton imo. No winners in the whole fiasco but I'm glad we still have him.
Yep Sydney forcing O'Keefe to stay certainly did that when they won the flag 4 years later

Bryce doesn't have a problem with the club, it was more for family reasons
