Re: Gilbert - Can we carry him
Why do you say "we" like you are part of the club?
Name one backline replacement. They are already down two with Blake in the ruck and Fisher out. Gwilt is just going ATM, and Simpkin is getting the monsters each week.
They need to sacrifice Goddard to be spare in defence, and you want to weaken the backline further.
Name a replacement.
Clarke? - 2we know he is the teams whipping boy and will get attacked on here more than any other player.
Wilkes? - cant play back to save himself.
Come up with a viable alternative.

Re: Gilbert - Can we carry him
"Carry"
Can a top level sporting team carry anyone with a list of 40 to choose from?
F*CK NO.
Gilbert MUST go to back Sandy next week or Gold Coast next season and at this point I dont really care which

Re: Gilbert - Can we carry him
Clarke is a better option that Gilbert at the moment. Sam is nothing like the player he was. Lets hope Chips gets back next week, we would have won by 5 goals with him there tonight.

I don't bag our players but i am prepared to make an exception with gilbert. He was an embarrassment to himself and the club tonight. His papers should be stamped never to play seniors again

Re: Gilbert - Can we carry him
Joffa,
I think it was even argued he would not be omitted for fisher??
We have too many medium talls down back anyway..... Look, Raph seems to be in form. We know at his best he can play at the level..
Schnieder is also an in.... He could play HB or push Dal or BJ back

As I said Raph will get bagged more than Gilbo (although this would be my choice)
Bj is already pushed back because the defence is undermanned.
With our rucks undermanned taking both Dal or bj out of the mids would make the job down back even harder.

Re: Gilbert - Can we carry him
What I totally don't get is that here is a player who has been in the AFL system for 7 years and still cannot kick on his right foot
Playing AFL football is his full time job - his inability to kick on his right foot is his biggest weakness yet in 7 years he still cannot kick with his right foot
Surely you would think that he would be practising and practising and practising and practising to right (pardon the pun) this weakness
He cost us 2-3 goals last night because of this glaring weakness
Sorry Sam but not good enough

Re: Gilbert - Can we carry him
He got caught holding the ball once but he wasn't to bad overall in the running role and his marking was good. I was at the game and obviously he was shitter on the TV. Defenders do give away goals sometimes otherwise no team would score. So we are sacking Gilbert and Gram omitting CJ and trading Joey at the end of the year and Raph is our saviour until he lets a goal past or gets caught holding the ball. When we retire Lenny, Milne, Blake and Rooey which have all been called for we will have a very very hard time finding a whipping boy but should have plenty to complain about.

Re: Gilbert - Can we carry him
You only carry players that have a potential upside that justfies carrying them
Gilbert has been consistently average for over a season
I love this argument of who else could do his role??? You mean the role that he's NOT doing hence we're all complaining about him.
There is no benefit of playing him at the current time

Re: Gilbert - Can we carry him
Getting him booked in to sit down and have a chat with the club Psychologist might be worth a try. Could all be in his head.

Re: Gilbert - Can we carry him
Raph Clarke should have played last weekend after his BOG performance for Sandy the last Sandy game. Instead they ignored him and brought in Jimmy Gwilt, who has shown he is still not ready after two games, but he is getting closer. It looks to me that the selection panel is paying too much attention to the anti- Raphites on Saintsational.

Re: Gilbert - Can we carry him
Bottom line to me is players must be picked on Form not reputation. Gilbert is out of form and costs goals, raph has form ( be it VFL) and therefore needs an opportunity. Who cares whether he gets bagged here or at the ground- Stanton got cheered off the ground when subbed out by Ess supporters now they all love him.
Sends a bad message otherwise

Another troll with no alternative.
Come on Little Poser - instead of whinging and whining come up with a viable alternative.
You people piss and mona and whine louder than an EH diff but do you EVER come up a viable solution?
No. And why? Because whinging is easier and a low energy exercise. You want to whinge and whine but want someone else to fix it for you
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
So typical.
Out od all the whining troll calling our players retards and etc not one.
Only BM had a go at suggesting an alternative, A lot of thing can be said about BM but he isn't a pissweak whining troll like you lot.

Re: Gilbert - Can we carry him
Before we consign him to the dust bin consider the fact that he may be first ruck this week with Kosi reportedly carrying a quad injury and the defence leaderless and lost without Blake.

Re: Gilbert - Can we carry him
Gilbert is our tallest defender, unless you'd rather have Wilkes down back (please god no!) If Raph is going to come in, it is going to be at the expense of a midfielder (most likely with Goddard moving further forward).
He might be out of sorts, he might not be able to kick on the right foot, he might fumble some times, but Sam has several centimetres over Simpkin, Clarke, etc.
And, as bigcarl points out, we might need him in the ruck too.
