Does anyone know how much Rockliff is getting paid at the lions on his current contract? I'm trying to think of a serious reason why Crows shouldn't go after him once they have signed Gibbs (if by all reports Brisbane will jump at chance to trade for a pick inside top 30ish), only reason I can think of why Adelaide shouldn't entertain the thought is if they can't afford him once Gibbs is on their books, but surely they would still be able to??

I agree. We're amateurs.

Most reports say around $800k hence no takers. Teams need a couple of years planning to fit in an $800k player.

Nah, he wanted $800k for his next contract. He's on about $600k-650k, but your point about teams planning to fit it in is still valid.

600K and in final year of his contract. Beams deal of 750k got under his skin so he requested 800k for his next contract hence the current problem.

Gibbs and Rocky probably on a combined $1.2m minimum, that's a fair bit of cap space. Reckon the Crows would have some space but that might be stretching it

No way you get both of them for $1.2. Prestia is being offered $750k.

That's why I said $1.2m minimum.
You are right though probably closer to $1.6m

So we agree. That's a shed load of cap space

Yep, the Jenkins deal probably isn't looking so great about now.
Rocky and Gibbs into their midfield and they are close to flag favourites for me

$650'000 a season has one season left of he's current contract was asking for $750'000 to $800'000 Beams is getting $850'000 a season which is why Rockliff is pissed off don't blame him Beams has given nothing to the Lions

Oh god. If you think Rockliff is pissed off because Beams is on about 800k a year then you are badly mistaken. The club had issues with Rockliff and Rockliff had issues with certain aspects of the club.

Loving the cheapskate supporters in this thread. 1st round picks only.

 

[Milanista28]

Would love him.

 

[BRAB]

Would love him.

If we Trade you Rockliff, 3 spuds, a player that doesn't exist and pick 16 would you give us pick 1?

 

[BEEG]

Rockliff must be a big time campaigner, Lion supporters mostly want him gone, the club want him gone, no club wants to pay much for him, how often do you see that in today's football with a gun like Rockliff.

You'd think this would be a reality check for him. That, combined with great managers and communicators in Fagan and Noble ideally will help turn him around.

 

[Prochard123]

Trading for him just makes no sense now.

He's going to command a top 15 pick.

Why pick him when you can get him next year for free?

Doesnt make sense for Brisbane either.

Worst case scenario he sits out a year, not sayng he will, and they get band 1 compensation which is probably pick 3 or something

I think pick 19 would be our best offer

You don't have pick 19.

Trade week drop out, go back to high school.

Yeah, but Richmond.

 

[Drewie11]

Adelaide should stop stuffing around with gibbs and offer our 2017 first for Rockliff. Would that satisfy brisbane?

Probably.

Funnily enough there were a number of reports throughout the year linking Rocky and Adelaide. I wonder if those actually had a grain of truth, only for Rocky to be punted once Adelaide thought they could get their hands on Gibbs.
