Especially when he has just resigned.

Ruccis article is a daysofourlives level trolling effort. No way do we send crouch or McGovern. I wouldn't sell just crouch for Gibbs let alone a first rounder too.


It might be what Carlton are thinking of though and they, at the moment, have the hand to beat so.....

No club wants a player there who doesn't want to be there. IMO I think Crows have the hand in this deal and can afford to be stubborn while exploring other options.

I think he is McGrath is ahead by a nose if it was a race from the messages the club is sending out. This may be because we know GWS are desperate for McGrath and have met with us to discuss the number 1 pick. Suns will most likely end up with pick 2 and they are keen on either of the Mc's so would take whichever one remains. I don't see McGrath getting to pick 3


How are the Suns getting pick 2 from Brisbane?

Talk that Brisbane will swap Hanley and pick 2 for the Suns pick 4&8.
Lions want draft picks and the Suns are having trouble getting players to go there and Hanley is keen apparently

I disagree, Carlton have a contracted player looking to leave which means they get the compensation they want or he goes nowhere.

I think the deal will get done with Gibbs with a trade that will have both Carlton and Crows wondering if they came out on top.

My prediction would be Gibbs and 2nd round pick (24) for Lyons and first round pick (13)

Seen this rumour on Facebook but not sure how reliable Facebook is. It's annoying seeing Gibbs linked to us when he should have been a father/son pick 10 years ago if it wasn't for the stricter rules states outside of Victoria face


Yeah cos Ross Gibbs played how many games for the Crows?

Crows didn't want him. (Bryce that is).

Crows will have to pay overs to get this one done or he stays. SOS laughed at Adelaides first offer of 13 and Lyons. Crows gonna have to give up something significant

They won't give up any picks, they're in full list turn over mode at the moment and they'll be keeping all their picks close to home.

You'll get Gibbs and they'll get what they want. Surely a tall, I can't see them chasing mids.

Crouch's are from Victoria, wouldn't read into Rucci's dribble.

GWS could be involved also with the Gibbs trade to get Pickett and or Marchbank to Carlton. Fairly confident Reid will be able to get the deal done, even if we have to pay overs a bit i would still be happy. 13 and Lyons should get it done IMO.

Sometimes you need to make a stand.
The Giants have stated numerous times that of they had their time again they would do the same. If these pea hearts want to sign long term deals they can't just get the sooks and go home after 1 year. Crows fans get stuck into Dangerfield but atleast he had the balls to see out his contract

Be a strong SANFL side that week. Only way Menzel would be involved in that is at SANFL level. More chance Kris Massie or Andrew Eccles getting a game at AFL level as ex-blues

The same Crows fans that hate Dangerfield now love Gibbs, even though what he has done is much worse than Danger?
