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...
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!
