Gibbs is a quality player and will not be replaced by any one player though. You could argue him in and Paddy playing would have given us more in the short term than o brien and Kennedy.
Long term it makes sense to have gone the route we have and why it had to happen but no one player will "replace" Gibbs potential influence.
Notice no one talking about Daisy? Obviously his game was pretty good particularly when the game was running away from us in the third quarter.
I don’t think any one player will replace Gibbs. We have several new and developing players with different abilities and attributes who will more than cover his absence in a very different midfield set up.
As for Daisy, he played his role and was important at times, but some of his decision making and disposals were woeful. I guess we can put that down to blowing the cobwebs out ...
