Re: Rd 2: Carlton vs. Sydney: Post Game Passion - ElwoodBlues1 - 04-06-2016
Gibbs can get it 40 times and have little impact on games.....his possies are usually short kicks across ground or behind the ball.
Does his most damaging work forward IMO where he can set others up and kick a goal himself...around the ground he just doesnt hurt opposing teams.
Bolton needs to play him forward more and use him like Essendon do with Goddard...the latter can get cheap easy kicks and rack up the stats but when he goes forward he is dangerous because he kicks long and straight.
We cant kick a goal to save ourselves yet Gibbs is never forward...????

Does he like the attention he gets from defenders EB1, or does he go into his shell?
Should we free him up on a wing to make him the 3rd man at many contests, I suspect he would thrive in those conditions just like Goddard.

Our strong suite is not playing players in roles that fully exploit their natural instincts or talents. Rather we try to force fit them into roles they may not relish or cannot perform at their full potential. Old habits die hard but we must move away from this approach. Hopefully the new regime can do this.

Too weak overhead to play forward and not quick enough when the ball hits the deck. Not to mention he is fumble city.

Weak overhead?
Not sure i've ever seen the guy in a contested marking situation? Have you? Hard to believe he's get outmarked by many of comparable size.....

Marked well and often when playing as sweeper under Ratten. Generally as the third man in the contest though.

Watched Gibbs kick six for Glenelg playing at Full Forward.....led well for the ball into space and kicked straight.
I dont expect him to be contesting in pack marking situations but taking a few on the chest, going back and slotting them through is something he is capable of IMO.
A couple of goals each week from Gibbs on a regular basis and a couple given away is going to make him a more valuable player than getting 30 plus cheapies between centre and half back..Dosnt mean he still cant run on the ball but just spend more time forward than usual......Gold Coast are playing with really only one tall up forward in Lynch and surrounding him with smart medium size and small players ...having some extra class down there might help Casboult too..

Worth a try as a leading forward.
One of his real assets is his ability to find space.
