And I like him - I think he does BLEED blue.Its a tactic alot of our players use, watch them, its an instruction as far as I can see. Its to stop the opponent getting to the next contest. Too often in the past Ive seen 1-2 plays and we just watch. Now, we seem to block the guy from getting another involvement in the next play. I see too many other of our blokes do it to suggest its a Gibbs thing. Watch our blokes manning the mark from on a oppo kick in. As soon as he kicks it, man on the mark goes and blocks his run.
Gibbs I watched and I don't know why he does this - but if he's going after an opponent and they get rid of the ball, he keeps at them to push them rather than go to the next contest - so he's expending energy for no reason, there's no real effect because he doesn't push the guy much, just a nudge - and he gets caught out. I saw him do it time and again.
Maybe it was just frustration on Gibbs' part, but it just seemed like a waste of time and energy to me.
