Rd 2: Carlton vs. Sydney: Post Game Passion

[LP]

What would they know B4L?

Not only has Gibbs never been dropped but each of those coaches, except perhaps Barker, have singled Gibbs out for high praise.  I'm not sure what it is about Gibbs that raises the ire of some supporters but I suspect that I may have stumbled across it during the Swans NAB game.  A supporter seated not far from me was critical of Gibbs throughout the game and, after one passage of play that we stuffed up, launched into a tirade of abuse about how weak Gibbs was; he was actually on the interchange bench at the time  :

Supporters see what they want to see, coaches see what they are paid to see.

Anyone who watches at the ground and isn't stuck ball watching will see Gibbs sorting out his opponent 9 out of 10 times well before the ball or the TV cameras arrive, but on TV it looks like another soft uncontested possession!
