I can see him on Liam Ryan, Shai Bolton etc being used as a tiny step ladder......
As most know I am a fan of VFL players and moneyballing a few onto the list and Gibbons has more than paid us back for the opportunity to play senior AFL footy but he is a limited player. He does a capable job when resting forward and onball but his size, lack of a yard of pace and lack of depth in his kicking makes him depth only IMO.
He reminds me of Anthony Miles from Richmond who was a very handy backup player but could never bridge the gap to become a main event player. Think we need to get a real small defender, we did well with imports like Matty Hogg, Dean Rice etc and you look at the Dogs who got Taylor Duryea as a freebie and I think we need to go down that path.
They must be a good kicking player who can keep their head under pressure as well as be capable defenders.
