Rd 13: Post Game Patter: Carlton vs GC

[mateinone]

Agree Lods, I remember some talking that we messed up by keeping him, because he would sulk and you don't want a player who doesn't want to be there etc.
Gibbs has shut every one of them up, because good or bad in patches, he cannot be accused of not trying. He has been absolutely professional and even if he does seek a trade at the end of the year, he is an example to be used whenever someone says "oh you don't want to keep a player once he requests a trade".

I think on current form he has to be in our top 4 in our B&F if it is announced today.
With Gibbs, Murphy, Kreuzer & Docherty the clear standouts this year to date

Gibbs is getting better and better.
His form this year has been phenomenal has not scored under 90 in Fantasy points as a case in point he has already kicked 11 goals. He likes playing on big stage and against Richmond as well so expect another big one from Bryce.

I still say he is goneski comes year's end but credit to him for 'putting in'.

It was a stellar effort Saturday night, from Gibbs and his team mates, no question.

Yes, after that performance it's hard to imagine Gibbs still has a mind to leave now.

He was equally as good against Geelong last year  I reckon. The fact the he has been so professional means it's hard for us to know his intentions for sure. I still think he will go, particularly if Adelaide don't win the flag. Use those picks to secure hopper and god willing Kelly. (Along with some other picks/ players  no doubt)

Ah well, if he does want to go at least we can ask top price for him. I would like him to play out his career with us though.

Wow. What a game from Gibbs. Best game I've seen him play...from memory anyway. Really influential. This has been a criticism at times I, and others, have had of Gibbs - he doesn't influence games enough. Well, he certainly did on the weekend. If either SA Clubs want him, it's gonna cost...big time! His trade price just keeps going up. I wonder if he still really wants out?

If he does go, and I reckon there's a very goof chance he still does, we'll need to replace him with proven player(s). Can't replace a 28 year old in form midfielder with U18 kids. It will need to again be a mix.

I'm loving that we don't want to, or need to, play the likes of Kerridge, Palmer, Armfield, White, Graham and the like. It's a good sign! The kids, and senior players, are holding their own...and some!!!

Re Casboult, most of us can see his strengths and weaknesses.
For mine the acid is right on young Harry to replace him.

Not after Saturdays goal kicking performance. Just as bad as cas in front of goal. Kicked 1.3 I think on Saturday from some very gettable set shots in front.

I hope you're right but I suspect Richmond will wear him closer than a 'legitimate' suburban massage girls stocking.

Yes, Gibbs is sure to get a lot of attention.  However, that should mean free rein for Murphy and Cripps.
