Not a rumour.

But I hope today we try and upgrade our pick 29 so we can acquire Fritsch.

I'm concerned the Bulldogs will scoop us with their pick 28 as they desperately wanted Hannan last year.

Lets see how Adelaide go dealing with Carlton today , serves then right, both arrogant pack of [censored] teams haggling over extra second rounders to the Gibbs deal. 

As I said previously we are the best (and by far most reasonable) team to deal with in trade week. Other clubs have held out for something better or have been hypocritical in their demands when the shoe is on the other foot 

no wonder those bastards lick their lips when we come knocking

Supposedly the deal has been agreed over night

I would be happy to trade 29 and 36 (or 47) for Kennedy if by some miracle Carlton cannot get their act together and he is desperate to leave GWS.

Gibbs is now a Crow - they paid two first rounders for him and a swap of other picks.

If anyone thinks we overpaid for Lever, then the Crows have wildly overpaid for Gibbs.  At least Lever is 21 - Gibbs is 29 and won't have the longevity that Lever will have for us.  Puts our deal in perspective.

2 first rounders for Gibbs?  fook me!  at 29 not too many years left

they have learnt a harsh lesson from last year, Gibbs could have been the difference for them this year

Well said, couldn't agree more.

Seems a ridiculous deal to me

I see Blues are giving next years 2nd round pick so if they are poor again that could be around 24 ish.  and if crows are high could be

eg, 16 --> 24 which isnt that bad

10 and 16 for Gibbs.... thats effectively the same price we paid for Lever. (albeit our 1st round next year being ~12-17 hopefully)

I can't work out what Adelaide are doing in this post season trading period!

The Gibbs deal is no different to the Lever deal.  If a club sees something they want, they just get it done.  I'm not saying they will sell the farm to get it done, but are willing to pay what would appear to be slightly "overs".

I bought a house last year, paid about $11k more than I wanted to, but I wanted the place, it still fitted in my budget, so I just got the deal done.  If I didn't, I would've missed it.  I have no regrets.

So if I heard what they said on SEN correctly, what we paid in points for Lever is equivalent to pick 6. What the Crows paid for Gibbs is equivalent to pick 5

L!!!  O!!!  L!!!

Again I think it is wait and see, as with all trades. Does he push them over the hump into a flag? If yes then I don't think they have.

If they fall away, lose Sloane next year then they probably have. 

Trades and drafting are a hindsight business for mine.

Adelaide think they are very close to a flag in 2018 or 19. That's why they paid 2 x 1st rounders for Gibbs. An A grade mid arguably could get them there. Most coaches and FDs in that frame of mind don't think more than 12 months ahead. Calton are looking longer term, so those picks are gold for Bolton.

Still think we did remarkably well with Lever

Gibbs contracted (SOS expect extra value) Lever was uncontracted ... should have held firm like Carlton did and they have shown they would buckle

In saying that, the reason Adelaide may have buckled so willingly to Carlton (over this deal) is because of how much they bent us over with Lever. Adelaide have 2 first round picks next year (theirs and ours), so they wouldn't in their wildest dreams of ever thought we would hand over our first pick. They may have looked at it like that. Gibbs will improve them this year, and next year they still have two first round picks to use.

Correct.

based on 2017 results trade is

Crows - Gibbs, 22, 40 & 77

Blues 10, 16, 37 & 73.

Totally on the money KDA. They received an unexpected bounty and were happy to let it go because they know Carlton are hard nosed

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
