We got offered a first rounder, a third rounder and Jake Kelly. That was there final offer. Mark Riccuto said they would have been happy to meet in the middle, A first and a second rounder

if the croweaters stuff up in september ,i think they will make a play for gibbs.(again)

That was the "fake news" Adelaide version just after the deadline. It subsequently came out that they wanted our second rounder back as part of the deal which meant it never got close to happening.

We're did you hear they wanted our second rounder back?

Well then they'll have to pay for him, which they weren't prepared to do last year.

He's far to valuable to us, as was evident on the weekend, to just hand over for a mid-teens pick and a bag of chips. Granted he might not have the same value as say a Dangerfield / Martin etc type midfielder, but that doesn't matter. What matters is (and i still can't believe that the Crows don't quite understand this part) that he is a required player and he's contracted.

You would assume, provided they don't fall in a heap, that the Crows will land pick 15-18 which clearly wont cut it for Bryce alone so they'd have to come up with something else (and you can shove your swap of second rounders up your butt!)


Im hoping Bryce stays. He;s a quality player and the last thing we need is loosing yet another quality player who will thrive at a different club.

He's finding it hard these days locating telephone boxes in which to convene meetings of the "players wanting to go home but stayed" club.

Bryce Gibbs didn't look too homesick to me on the weekend knocking up 38 possessions, 5 clearances, 6 tackles and 3 goals.
He's shown that he's a professional footballer and he gives 100% no matter where he's playing. If they offer appropriate compensation, no worries. If not, bad luck.
Gibbs is worth more to us than a late teens pick and steak knives.

+1. I wouldn't let him go anytime. 1 club player for mine.

Ditto. I hope he stays.

Not only will he perform for the Blues as he is, he will help us win more games, and he'll expedite the development of our plethora of kids.
In addition to his current contract, he can play for another couple years on top of that too, imo.

Gibbs is too important to Carlton to give away for a pick in the teens and 30's.

There should be more of it! ie 1 club players.

I hope he sets the scene for more of that to happen in the future.

If you can't get a top 8 draft pick for Gibbs why would you trade him? If our youngsters develop fast like Cripps has, then we could be playing finals in 2 years when Gibbs is 30 years old. As soon as our young batch hit 50 games and with support of Murphy and Gibbs then who knows what could happen.
