Traded Bryce Gibbs [traded to Adelaide] - (cont. in Part 2)

[Faz 2000]

I think that's a scenario that genuinely makes sense and should be looked at.

Gibbs is a better player than his reputation ("he's soft!") suggests. Would be a huge asset to a strong team making a 3-4 year premiership assault.

Blues will likely be too conservative to give up a sure thing (Bryce will play good footy for next 4 years, that's a near-certainty) for youth and hope (ie. picks), but I think it's the sort of move that could work out great in the long run. I reckon they'd want a top 10 pick, but 13+ might work.

I would want both of Adelaide's first rounders, and we give them our next years second (possibly still a top 20 pick...) as part of the trade.

 

[Ian Dunross]

He's not worth 2 first rounders

5 years ago maybe

Not now

I think the suggestion is #13 and 2017 First (Say 16-18 with Gibbs) for our 2017 2nd (say #20) + Gibbs.
It makes sense, but as a Gibbs Fan I would want more and hope it does not happen.

I wouldn't do that purely because of the fact it stops the crows from potentially trading out their first round pick until their 2020 first rounder comes into play.

I also don't think he's 2 firsts even with a second coming back.

I would hope my club doesn't give up 2 1sts for Gibbs. Happy to go with 13 and a player

How old is he, 29? Your not getting two first rounders...

 

[OnceKicked50]

Gibbs for Betts?

 

[Damon_3388]

How old is he, 29? Your not getting two first rounders...

He's 27, no history of injuries, coming off his best individual season, in contract. The won't get two first rounders, but there's no shame in asking.

I mentioned throwing out second rounder next year in with their first rounder of next year. So likely a downgrade of picks of a few spots.

Would 13, Harry Dear and an exchange of later picks work?

You would certainly look at this option. I think Harry is about to explode but with our forwards he is only a spare for us unfortunately.

 

[Mego Red]

27

When is he 28?

 

[Red Bull]

When is he 28?

Before he is 29 ...

 

[perthblue]

When is he 28?

[Tex200]

It wont involve Dear

 

[Smalls0304]

It wont involve Dear

Good

 

[Thetrader15]

in march

About 12m since he turned 27

 

[Mego Red]

So he'll be 28 the next time he plays a game of AFL?

[Austin_McCrabbs]

Certainly won't be 29.

How old is Sloane by the way, 30?

 

[1990crow]

Certainly won't be 29.

How old is Sloane by the way, 30?

26

 

[Beer n Skittles]

26

Bullshit. You can't state how old someone actually is, that would make far too much sense.

Going off your logic: He'll be 27 by the start of next season, plus we have to inexplicably add another year. Sloane is 28. It was good to see him put in a solid last hoorah this year prior to his impending retirement from old age
