gibbs is awesome..leunberger has played like 2 games and to say he's better than gibbs is stupid.
under pagan..gibbs played in the backline (where he stopped quality opposition like tredrea etc). When ratten moved in he was played in the midfield. gibblet got like 24 touches a game..but during that time all the attention was on the negatives at carlton....i.e. tanking and fevola...nobody mentioned how good gibbs was. He's effective and one of the best small backmen in the league...unlike fisher maguire r.clarke etc. gibbs knows how to stay on his man (by his side) and punch the balll away. If anything he's under-rated, as everyone says that he's s***. Everyone puts too much pressure on him.

Poor kid over runs the footy and ends up with his nuts in the air with a team mate doing his best to send them up to his eye balls with the sherin and your having a go at him for flinching a bit c'mon give the kid a go.
He is still so young and will end up a star,to play AFL at 18 you need to be anything but a squib.

Re: sif
no-one was saying that he was any good...they were just saying that he dogs it...that he is a squid....the jury's out...but most first year players don't pull out of contests as often as this bloke has.....definitely has a courage issue against his name.....footy_first wrote:..but during that time all the attention was on the negatives at carlton....i.e. tanking and fevola...nobody mentioned how good gibbs was.

well if the morons and clowns over on talking crap can devote 5 pages to discussing whether or not roo is a sook...when he certainly isn't...then i'm quite entitled to start a discussion on whether gibbs is a squib or nor...to date it would appear that he is a little on the timid side.....

Selwood is number 1 so far but Leuenberger will be the best by the end, Carlton made a big mistake using their first pick on a guy who will never be anything more than a reliable back pocket/occasional wingman...

Re: is gibbs a squib.....
I'm with you sting. Have raised this a number of times and a few of my fellow "spotters" had pointed it out to me numerous times. Can't beat a guy who is prepared to go and get the pill. That's why Harvey is a champion because he gets it and in getting it has peripheral vision and the most amazing evasive skills of anyone I have seen in the game.stinger wrote:instead of threads denigrating good st kilda players like fiora...who was in our best five players in the closing rounds.....how about addressing a question that has intrigued me this past year......i know he is only a boy...but he was the number one pick by the proverbial....yet i have seen him dog it about four times in the carscum games i watched.....
...is he a squib......

i agree ...selwood was by far the best on what we have seen to date.......gibbs has a long way to go before he justifies carscums faith....
