Murphy will likely stay and I would like to retain Gibbs also but our drafting and trading is going to be crucial. Losing two of those three would make things very tough next year imo.
I doubt that either Murphy or Gibbs will be going anywhere, Gibbs is contracted and Adelaide have already shown that they are unwilling to pay what he's worth, and with Silvagni running things the days of Carlton being bent over on trades is over.
Murphy is Carlton through and through, he's our captain and best player and he'll play out his days at Princes Park.
With Cripps and Curnow available and the natural development of Petrevski-Seton, Cunningham and Fisher our midfield will be competitive with any, but we badly need a back up ruckman to cover injuries to Kreuzer.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.
