Rd 18: Post Game Pandemonium: Carlton vs Brisbane

[ElwoodBlues1]

I'd wait and see if the Crows still want Gibbs.......I also remain unconvinced that Riccuito will give ground and trade anything decent given his stance last season.
Think we need to have some alternate plans to trade in some talent just in case both Gibbs being traded doesnt happen and any Casboult compo pick doesnt give us much...

My argument is that if Gibbs goes, and we get value for him, we should be able to turn that into at least two or maybe even three decent depth players not spend it all on just one messiah!

Absolutely.

Gaz jnr?

I'd take him for a year at the right price. I simply can't see it happening. GC will want too much and Ablett will want too much.

I agree EB1, I think many are way overconfident on the potential Gibbs deal and the Casboult price. Given the fortunes and form of potential suitors, I suspect they are both less valuable in 2018 than they were in 2017.

I would think Casboult suitors would be switching serious attention to Mitch McGovern, who looks capable at either end of the ground and appears every bit as effective in contested marking.

I think Adelaide would now be hell bent of keeping and developing the Crouch brothers, so I am not sure Gibbs is such a good fit anymore! If I had to pick a club that could really benefit from gaining Gibbs, it would be Geelong, but they have nothing to trade!

Mitch is a lightweight (literally).

A 3rd tall at best, checked his height lately?

Gibbs....Crouch....hmmm.

McGovern's marking and contested marking stats are equal of Casboult. So is McGovern an over-achiever, or is Casboult underachieving?

If you think McGovern is a lightweight, why discuss someone like Saunders?

We'd take the Crouch brothers in a heartbeat, as inside mids they would pretty much be equals or upgrades on everybody except Cripps! We need more players like them around Cripps, which is why I'd prefer a couple like them than just one Kelly type.

Also, I worry that Kelly might be another Boyd, a superstar when playing in a side that lets him run free untagged, but a struggler in a team in when he is the prime focus!

Who will be our Tom Mitchell, by any rating Mitchell has turned out to be excellent value! It will be interesting to see how Mitchell goes next year without the likes of Burgoyne and Hodge around him at stoppages! I get the feeling Mitchell is a sheep dog, great under instruction but rubbish if let to run free!

True, I have always said if SA is his destination who cares about the club!

But in fairness, prior to this season the progression of the Crouch brothers I would have thought PA have a stronger on-ball division than the Crows so I think they should be less interested unless they lose somebody. Now I think the two mid-fields are about 50/50, the Crows are stronger without adding a player and PA is stable.

All I meant re lightweight is that he doesn't weigh much....
