I've been reading this thread with some interest. I actually agree we should put Gibbs on the trade table at the end of the year. It would be a radical move because he is probably our most gifted ball user in a team that isn't blessed with that type of player, but still worth while doing i think. Port Adelaide IMO will finish with pick 5 or 6 and I think they would give up that for Gibbs in a heartbeat. Kenny will think they can still win a flag with a bit of extra cream on the cake. If we finish bottom (which I think we will unfortunately) with only 2 to 3 wins we would have an argument for a priority pick. This means we could have picks 1,2 5 and 20 and if you throw in a free agent- say from the bombers (hurley, hibbard etc), it would leave us very competitive in the draft. I would use picks 1+2 on the best key forwards in the draft (ala Hawks with Buddy and Roughead), pick 5 gets us a great mid (ala Lewis) then trade pick 20 with perhaps Levi to Fremantle to get someone like Mayne and we should be off and running.
