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

So that's how you justify squibbing the contest ? He's not soft, he's just trying to find space.

Just kidding.

Really though, is Gibbs any harder or softer than someone like Pendles ? I don't see the latter doing anything harder than Gibbs.

;D
He's a space-man

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.....

Have you seen him sit under a high ball and try and mark it? Did you seen him drop the easy mark on Sunday because he was running backwards and didn't like it? He doesn't like the footsteps, he doesn't like not knowing what is coming at him, and he doesn't have great hands anyway. On the lead is a different story.

He doesn't have to, he's that damn good. Gibbs thinks he is also that damn good that he doesn't have to, but he's not that damn good.

Pendlebury and Gibbs are so far apart it's just not funny.

The role you'd want Gibbs playing would be Brad Pearce type role.
Lead and mark.

A foil for our big key forwards....oops I forgot

Doesn't have the explosive speed of a Pearce to put a space on his opponent so the footsteps will still be a factor.

That's true...but he does have the ability to lose a player.

Of course that may not be the case with close checking defenders...and you sometimes wonder whether he gets that freedom in the mid-field because other sides don't feel he hurts them enough to man up on him.

That was Lance's strength but he was very strong overhead and had some courage.

Re the midfield I agree, if Gibbs was that damaging he would wear a tag.

McLean was pretty good at getting space inside F50, pace had nothing to do with it, smarts were far more important!
