Gilbo to GC Trade

[Con Gorozidis]

I am thinking the 13/Gilbo for Caddy/Hickey trade would be a real win:win for both parties.
Gilbo could really help the GC. He is a good tall experienced and hardened player who basically never gets injured. Also a local boy.
And we have a developing direct replacement (tall running back) in Ferguson.

No way. I see that as if we were giving up pick 13 for Hickey.
If Gilbert were part of the trade it would be our mid-second round pick I'd be giving up at the most, and even then i would be a little concerned.

Maybe they can throw us in a late pick as well then. We need our min 3 picks in the draft.

Are you sure about that? Anyway why would we get rid of Gilbert. Werent you the one who said we lack that age group. You really swing with the wind Con.

Unless like Goddard with the Don(s), and we get an offer that we can't refuse, I don't want us parting with our first round compensation pick. Best available young player IMO.

I do like Gilbo and do like his age yes. But willing to make an exception to get a ruck and another mid - because we have a lot of defenders and I rate Ferguson as a replacement.

So age doesnt matter. And Ferguson isnt a replacement for at least 2 to 3 years.

[gringo]

Gilbert is probably more valuable with out Goddard there as he carries the ball from defence to attack, we probably need to develop someone as that elite running back to go with him though as there is more emphasis on getting the ball out cleanly these days and with out Goddards kicking as a get out of jail card we need some ball carriers. Dal back again maybe, Caddy goes into the centre?

Pluggs if you are going to hold me to account for previous posts - thats fine. But you can also hold me to account for things I got right.

I said all along Pelchen would go very hard for KPPs in their early 20s. Many on here told me i was an idiot and that we would go for 'best kids available' in the draft regardless of position.

Certainly - at this stage - looks like I was right on the money.

We can probably wait an extra year for Ferg as long as Fisher is still going.
Plus Siposs looking good for the 1/4 back role straight away next year.

Who's to say that our club don't think that Caddy is the best available young player? He's only 20.

[gringo]

Caddy hasn't been in the system that long and people should understand he will be a good player but most guys take years to develop, Cotchin had a break out season and he was drafted in 2007 or 2008 and I think Dangerfield was around the same year from memory. Thats a fair wait so don't expect anything much more from our new draftees unless we luck onto a freak.

i think Lee was drafted the same year as Tom Lynch and he's still developing but he looks as close to a ready made as we've seen for a while.

[SaintWodonga]

No, forget Caddy, take pick 13 to the draft get Stringer!

[SainterK]

No thanks...Gilbert to move into the midfield for mine.

If that is the case, I'd be happy for them to go for it. Pick 13 for Caddy.
But Gilbert and pick 13, for Caddy and Hickey. Were paying overs IMO.

I wouldn't offer any more than 13 for caddy (gold coast saying they want 2 first rounders is ridiculous) therefore you re saying Gilbert for hickey . Gilbert was pretty much back to his best in the second half of this year. Tough, runs all day and kicking improved . Was up there for having a bounce and hitting someone on the chest inside 50. He's worth more than that.

[Watts the Buzz]

Gilbo is valuable IMO and not to be traded - we should no longer consider bringing Caddy in to the club, what GCS is asking for is fantasy stuff - he's done nothing to justify the hype or money!

[Con Gorozidis]

Fair play.
Gilbert probably under-rated. Pretty resilient too.

[Spinner]

Agree Con.

But I doubt Sun would want him. Why, because he is a very average footballer.

[mr six o'clock]

Gilbo's second half of the season was back to his 2010 form .
I would like to see him continue this next year !

[Little Dozer]

Whiskey, tango, foxtrot!

[BigMart]

Trade Gilbert in a minute

A WOEFUL kick!!

Does more harm off HB than good

[Con Gorozidis]

Hes a bit better than an average footballer. Plays ok on a wing.

[plugger66]
