This is about all that comes out of the article.
“We won’t say any more about what were private discussions."

Guess the meeting did not go well  ;)

For some reason it says the tweet was posted last night for me?

Would like to know where Rocky and Fagan met though, as it didn't finish that long ago. If it was in Brissy, that pic could be from a while ago.

Adelaide aren't giving up Ellis Yolmen or Lyons for you know who ;)

And people like Cameron, McGovern and the crouch brothers aren't going anywhere!

dont have any idea on how this is going to get done ::)

I'd say we'd be willing to part with an Ellis Yolmen or Lyons + a pick. But would be shocked if Brad Crouch or Cameron was traded. Basically because they'd have to want to leave - which I don't see as likely.

Let's use stats to avoid the Crows supporters who wouldn't give up a half eaten Mars bar for Gibbs, and avoid the Carlton supporters who have mistaken Gibbs for Koutoufides the last 5 years. I've scaled the numbers to give Lyons the same TOG% as Gibbs.

Lyons: 24.7 disposals, 3.8 marks, 0.9 goals, 5.4 tackles, 4.3 I50s, 1 goal assist, 11.9 contested, 13.2 uncontested, 67.6 efficiency, 2.5 clangers, 4.8 clearances

Gibbs: 26.8 disaposals, 3.5 marks, 0.8 goals, 5.2 tackles, 4.5 I50s, 0.7 assists, 9.7 contested, 17 uncontested, 69.8 efficiency, 2.9 clangers, 4.7 clerances.

So those are the difference in numbers, seem pretty similar to me. Oh and Lyons is 4 years younger. Does pick 13 bridge the 'gap' between the two players? Of course it does, in fact it is probably far too much. Keep in mind that it was a career best year for Gibbs, whereas really it was Lyons' first crack getting a consistent game. If Carlton want anything more then tell them to get stuffed and enjoy being bottom 6 for the duration of Gibbs' prime, Lyons will probably be better than Gibbs in a couple of seasons anyway. Yes I'd like this deal to happen to really have a crack at a flag during the prime of Sloane, Tex etc. but if it costs more than Lyons and a first round pick, it would just be silly to damage our future that much when if you look at the numbers, Lyons for Gibbs is probably fair straight swap when you factor in age anyway.

Mitchell to the Hawks for pick 14 and the Blues want pick 13 and multiple players and a puppy etc etc for Gibbs bahahahahahah. Flower me.  :-\

Twitter uses Pacific Time (American) I think which is 17hrs behind AEST so it might be legit.

Sigh. After being active for 4 straight years, I guess Melbourne were due for a quiet trade period  :-\

Still, I'm a sucker for more trade drama!

Tom Mitchell traded to Hawks for pick 14. Hard now for Carlton to argue Gibbs, at 28, is worth more than Adelaide's pick 13 #NABTradeRadio
