New delay over Gibbs
THE will-they, won’t-they drama between Bryce Gibbs and Adelaide has taken another twist, with talks between the Crows and Carlton apparently collapsing ahead of the AFL trade deadline today.
A deal to send the Blues’ midfielder to Adelaide appeared to be imminent when Crows officials, including list manager Justin Reid, arrived at AFL House in Melbourne late yesterday afternoon.
But the Crows departed without comment soon after and it became clear a trade would not be struck just yet.
Adelaide’s failed pursuit of Gibbs last year went down to the wire and it appears negotiations between the Crows and Blues will again run close to today’s 1pm (Queensland time) deadline.
