Re: Sam Gilbert
An easy win against weak opposition but another absolutely bog ordinary game from Gilbert. Just a non-entity these days. He was good in 2009/10 but people need to concede he is simply nowhere near that level anymore. Not close. Hasnt been for a long time.

Played really well and his disposal was very good.

I don't think Melbourne have been ordinary this year. I didn't think the Saints could beat them especially after last weeks effort against GWS.

Only the one tackle asll. 'Really well' is a huge exaggeration. Some people really have the blinkers on with Gilbo. They still see 09/10 Gilbo in their minds. He was just ordinary again. As usual. Not terrible. But just a gop. There are still those claiming he is a 'gun'. It is embarrassing.

Re: Sam Gilbert
17 disposals from the back half is pretty decent. No frees against. Some people are biased as well.Con Gorozidis wrote:magnifisaint wrote:Played really well and his disposal was very good.

So sad Con, we have a great win, but see need to bump a thread froma week ago to bag yet another playerCon Gorozidis wrote:An easy win against weak opposition but another absolutely bog ordinary game from Gilbert.

Some supporters find it impossible to enjoy the moment
Pathetic really

Re: Sam Gilbert

Re: Sam Gilbert
You are fast becoming a flog Con, Gilbo got 17 disposals at 94% effecency, we have a great win and you think it necessary to bump a thread to bag him. What a joke.Con Gorozidis wrote:An easy win against weak opposition but another absolutely bog ordinary game from Gilbert. Just a non-entity these days.

Re: Sam Gilbert
Gilbo was very good today. Anyone bagging him is a know nothing hater
You are garbage - Enough said
Re: Sam Gilbert
Can't believe im sticking up for Con....
But I think he's trying to say don't let the win paper over the cracks.
Nobody can argue gilbo didn't play well today though

Re: Sam Gilbert
Back in a defensive role Sam Gilbert worked hard and was hard at it to boot as most posters who went to the game have been quick to acknowledge. Pretty sure you weren't there though Con. Wasn't that you in the rooms at Punt Rd helping big bad Tom Lee put on his jockstrap?Con Gorozidis wrote:An easy win against weak opposition but another absolutely bog ordinary game from Gilbert.

Big win today with our ruckman trouncing the form ruck of the comp and two young players having far and away their best game but not enough for some.

Re: Sam Gilbert
To be fair, I don't think having one good game negates all of Gilbert's past errors this year (although a few more games at his kicking efficiency will more than make up for that) but the issue here is he has played a fantastic game with the whole team and it seemed unnecessary to bump a past thread knocking the guy when we should be making a new threat hoping he keeps this blistering form up. It doesn't matter what Sam Gilbert did in 2010/11/12 or any other past year. What matters is this year and Gilbert has made a great improvement so should we not all support the hope he continues this good form rather than attack him for past mistakes?

Re: Sam Gilbert
Good today. But at his age and experience he should play like that every week. Today's game is his standard. I hope he maintains it but I am not confident
