Gibbs will probably get suspended, Gray was carted off which was unfortunate and we should not like seeing that, so 1 week is likely with an early plea and good record. However for a longer term team perspective it was a message of physicality that hasn't been shown by Carlton for a long time. For too long we have been punching bags yet on the weekend our tackling was aggressive like it should be. So I think a suspension for Bryce is a cheap price to pay for a strong message. Let's just hope this sort of physicality continues into the future.

A lot of folk were laying into him on twitter after that tweet. One even showed you tube footage of him laying a bad tackle on Murph.
Think he apologised later, probably all the crap he copped had something to do with it

Gibbs suspended for 3 matches, reduced to 2 with an early plea:

Reckon we might appeal this.

Sam McClure tweeted straight back to him telling him it was actually his 711th tackle and that he averages 4 a game throughout his career.
Gibbs career tackling stats are actually very similar to Cassissi's.

3 weeks for laying a tackle, is this netball?
