2016 Silly Season, Trades and Rumours and utter BS

[Booney]

O'Meara to Hawthorn.

Hawks give GC pick 10, their second rounder from next year and a Fremantle Second rounder that Fremantle owed Carlton and Hawthorn will give Carlton something or other...

[Booney]

Gold Coast now have picks 4,6,8 and 10 in this draft. Like they're starting all over again!

They now also have 3 second round picks for the 2017 draft.

Deledio is a Giant, details to come.

AFL bending the rules again?
Can't trade another future rounder if you trade out out your first.

Lots of pressure for JOM to get himself right or hawks have completely ballsed this up. I hope they ballsed it up

[Booney]

I reckon this trading of future picks will come under the microscope from the AFL in the next 18 months.

Clubs are getting greedy ( why wouldn't they? ) for the now and will just look to keep trading future picks to make up for the ones they've given away this year.

Like borrowing on a credit card to pay another credit card off.....

Geez if they can sort themselves out off field they have a massive opportunity staring them in the face.

Reports the Gibbs deal didn't get done.

So Adelaide lose Lyons and that's all they did?

Wouldn't have thought he was that good....big call Booney

[Robran]

So we get rid of a guy that played all year for us averaging 20 possies a game for some shit pick.and no Gibbs what a waste of time.

[gadj1976]

Just have to see who we pick up at pick 13

[Swamp Donkey]

Saints did well in trade period, picking up Steele, Brown and Koby Stevens. With Carlisle to come back in 2017 - hopeful for a solid season

[Dutchy]

Crows succeeded in weakening their mid-field, well played.

[Dogwatcher]

Gibbs staying just reported now.

All that puffing and panting for nothing.
There will be much gnashing of teeth over apricot slices and cups of tea.

[Dutchy]

Does Gibbs now walk out of Carlton, retire from AFL and move to Adelaide?

[HH3]

Rowey on the money!!

The Adelaide Crows will land homesick Blue Bryce Gibbs with only hours left in the AFL trade period, says Stephen Rowe.
“Six hours, five minutes left for the Crows to land Bryce Gibbs -- and they will,” Rowey told FIVEaa brekky on Thursday. “We’re hearing that’ll happen early.”

Adelaide will clinch the deal with pick 26*, which they got for Jarryd Lyons, who will move to the Gold Coast Suns. (*UPDATE, 9:40am -- The Western Bulldogs now hold pick 26. They have sent picks 35 (round 2) and 43 (round 3) to Gold Coast for picks 26 (round 2) and 80 (round 5).

DONE DEAL -- CROWS TRADE LYONS TO SUNS

“Bryce Gibbs to the Crows for picks 13 and 26 -- done deal. That is massive,” Rowey said. “And that is right on the money. That will happen. As I’m sitting here today that will happen.”

“I think Carlton just wanted the Crows to hurt. [Crows list manager] Justin Reid’s a good poker face -- well done.”
