Welcome back, Sam Gilbert!
Very surprised that there isn't a thread on him after tonight's fantastic return to form. It was like watching the Gilbert of 2009/2010 again (albeit without the high marking). He looked to have all his confidence and drive back and played with real purpose and surety, reading and attacking the ball extremely well and making the correct decisions when running it out. Also kicked it well.
I wouldn't have wanted to swap him unless we got someone incredible in return, 12 months ago, but in recent weeks I've been thinking maybe we ought to look at trading him at the end of the year, but if he keeps on playing like he did tonight, he'll probably be no-where near the trade table.
Hope you keep it up Gilbo.

Sorry, I didn't realise you were counting, or that we had to run any new thread suggestions by you.saint tash wrote:That's a thread on four maybe five players.
Only got another 17/18 threads to go and we have the kudos completed for the whole side for another week .
How about Zachariah? Blakey?
As for Zac or Blake, I didn't think they played clearly their best games of the year tonight, or anywhere near it, but I thought Gilbo did, after having had a really poor year, hence the thread.

as i posted in the match day thread - reckon their were signs last week. But last night was even better. He is just looking more like the Gilbo of old and seems finally to not be carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Good on him.
