Gibbsy !!!!!

[Murph_The_Smurf]

Ive been saying this since the collingwood game , anyone that calls gibbs soft should have a good hard look at themselves, 10 tackles yesterday great effort gibbsy!
Russel also with 8 tackles and carrots with 7 ! good to see blue boys !

[HBF]

It's just the ignorant half-wits that call Gibbs soft. He was sensational yesterday.

[Jeremias]

Gibbs definitely isn't soft, and it's only opposition trolls that claim he is based on one incident last year.

Trolls will be trolls.

[Feva]

Trolls will be trolls.

If anyone cant see the exceptional talent in Gibbs yet then they have no football clues.

Will be an absolute superstar of the game and will probably vy for captaincy with Murph after Judd gives it away.

every time i hear someone calling gibsy softy i feel like ripping shreds into them and making an example of soft out of them!.


When he jumped into a pack of 3 dockers i think, got the handball out and pfeif got the sealer !!

[FevolasFox]

He is as soft as a brick.

[parrot]

Gibbs tackles stick and hurt the opposition. He repeatedly pushed Medhurt's, Didak's and Stanley's face into the MCG turf V Pies. Gibbs is a top-shelf talent who has a natural ability to execute the games skills better than anyone else. :)

[blues4flag]

Gibbs is sensational - the rest of the footy world is beginning to see why he's so highly rated, bar a flog here and there. Some of the stuff he does just leaves me gob smacked - not the flashy stuff like a Daisy type, but awareness, ability to create space and his work in close (which is a huge asset, and one we're only beginning to see now that he's filling out) is extremely promising.

And he set up the goal in the last quarter for Nick Stevens. A great kid, and a great talent.

[Murph_The_Smurf]

And to think its only hes 2nd year of footy, isn't he the youngest after kruez ? .

[Dustyjackman]

Week by week his class is really beginning to show.

Eventually, he will be held in the same regard as say, Micheal Voss or Scott West. Great footballers that even opposition fans have enormous respect for. Leaders and match winners.

Bryce Gibbs will provide us, the Carlton faithful, many years of excitement as he turns many an opponent inside out.

i to think that he is in the Voss mould by the time he is 22 yoa he is going to be one tuff bastard.

[celtic_pride]

One thing I have noticed that he is playing a lot more confident and positive footy since Ratts too over as coach, which does proof two things - One Deni$ Pagan was a shocking coach at Carlton, and two, Ratts is totally the perfect coach for Carlton, and I hope he coaches us for 10 years plus ...

I laugh at how Bummer fans keep bagging him, I wonder how their number 2 draft pick, Scott Gumbleton is going ???
10 tackles is bloody sensational !!

[Captain Judd]

Gibbs IMO is a gamebreaker kind of player. His a match winner, and has all the abilities, skills and brain to become that. You guys will see, one day he will go up another level and become a superstar, and people will put there number1 tagger on Gibbs instead of Judd. I know its a big call but he has the attributes to become something amazing... And damn he reminds me of Voss... Captain material..

Soft. :)

[koutamarto]

It was great to see bryce start in the centre yesterday. its the 1st time i can remember seeing him in their. Should be a great confidence boost for him and his kicking is starting to hurt the oppositin.

[pumped]

Thought Gibbs was great when it counted yesterday and also looked hard and committed. His hard ball get and handpass to Stevens fantastic. However I don't believe noticing softness in Bryce is coming from ignorance.

Whilst I don't think he lacks courage he does lack confidence at times. This can have him look very tentative. There have been a few occassions this year where he has lacked authority both in his disposal and attack on the ball. I believe once his confidence rises he will become very hard consistently. However he is not there as yet although yesterday seemed as close as he has been to becoming the star we expect him to be.

Gibbsy has been great this year but we are starting to sound like Magpie fans.

He is still very much on the improve and will be a great player for a long time but to compare him with Vossy is stupid as he is a very different type of player.

[KING-JAMES]

His tackles stick. Very impressive young footballer, and I think he will continue to develop as the year goes on. I'd love him at Essendon.

[Cruiser23]

Fantastic first half for Gibbs, 13 touches 4 marks and 6 tackles with a few clearances. He got given a free reign and a very good stint in the midfield for once. He did very much go missing in the second half. Didn't get a touch in the third quarter which was disappointing and other than a few very important touches late in the fourth, seemed to run out of steam. Still don't think he is fit enough to play a full game in the midfield just yet.

He has massive improvement in his game and his first half showed us a little of what he has got. Needs to put a few four quarter performances together before even starting to compare him to the greats such as Voss and West.

[BlueDW]

Wow you are one scary ombre!!! :rolleyes: He may not be asoft but he still takes short steps ocassionally, of that there is no doubt!

[pansies]

Earlier this year I posted the following on the main board in a discussion about reviewing the 2006 draft...

Gibbs though being drafted in 2006 should actually be rated along with those drafted in 2007 as they are more in line with his age. The reason why he was drafted early is because of such a high level of maturity skill and talent.

Also people should not be comparing him to judd, they are both very different type of players. Gibbs is more in the similar vein of Hird. Neither have great athletic abilities however their footy smarts and skills are never in doubt. Gibbs knows where to place his body in a contest in order to both out position his opponent and allow chance to dispose the ball to a teammates advantage. Often when in one on one contests you can see Gibbs slide or move not necessarily directly towards the ball but more around it and therefore opening space to get rid of it.

I think his spin under 2 freo players yesterday and handball to give stevens the goal to hand us the lead was as good an example as you could get. Gibbs summed up his position in an instant and knew if he gathered possession and dropped in the one move his two opponents would go right past him and open up the goal side.

Instinctive Genius!

Spot on. Excellent assessment.

I liken Gibbs' ability to pop up with the pill after everyone else has over shot it, and completely misread it, to be in a similar vein to Scott West from the Bulldogs when he was at his best.

[Doza]

You're right, he didn't have a single touch in the third quarter. But its important to remember he was only given 64% time on ground yesterday and still had his 10 tackles, 17 touches and a good influence.

[Bluebear]

10 tackles is bloody sensational !!

So you think his defensive game of laying 10 tackles is sensational (BTW his opponents only had about 5 possies to his 17), yet bag Pagan.....who put him in defence to learn such skills which our midfield sorely needs.

Odd.

Agree with all the sentiments otherwise in this thread.

Gibbs has been learning his craft in the midfield, but not getting hurt by his man going the other way.

Is pushing into dangerous positions going forward, and uses the footy so well by hand or foot. :thumbsu:

[Cruiser23]

That low, it thought it was around 70% because he started on the bench in every quarter for the first 8-10 minutes. Geez why would he been given that little time? he's been getting around 85% IIRC.

[blues4flag]

You've got to remember he is the second youngest player on our senior list - only Kreuzer is younger than him, and even then, only by a couple of months. I'd expect the club wants to manage him throughout the season.

I was surprised to see his game time drop as well, and you may be right.

Rather than have rests down back this year he is running all game in the midfield, and, I'm happy to say, running as hard to defend as he does to get the footy now.

I'm sure Ratts has the second half of the year in mind to some degree, but it may be just the way the match-ups and rotations worked on the day.

[Blue History]

Ive been saying this since the collingwood game , anyone that calls gibbs soft should have a good hard look at themselves, 10 tackles yesterday great effort gibbsy!
Russel also with 8 tackles and carrots with 7 ! good to see blue boys !

TGa7eBRyxqk

[Thunderstruck]

Yer he's bloody good, does the little things so well, things that 95% of observers don't notice unless you look for them. Exceptional classy talent and decision maker. But his tackling has ALWAYS been a feature of his game. Right throughout his junior days from a 15yo, he has been a machine tackler. High tackle count in all games. Finally when played in the midfield a BIT he gets to show some of his stuff. His best position is ruck rover or centre as that is where he dominated as a junior. Looks pretty bulky atm as well, god help opposition when he is fully developed and playing from the guts every week.

[ThePine]

If he could build his engine up and push his average disposal up by a couple (19.8 this year) i think this is when he will start to get the wraps he deserves from op supporters. If only he could get the ball as much as carrots :eek:

[SurreyBlue]

This kid is pure class. Reminds me a bit of Peter Motley except Motts was probably stronger in the air.

[thylacine60]

I think Huddo's call sums it up: ".........Gibbs is not done with yet!"

[rolandinho]

On SEN yesterday, a carlton supporter called and claimed that Bryce was the most disappointing #1 pick in the last 10 years. Myself along with countless other true blues with half a brain, explained to KB that gibbs is a rare talent that has the total package. Against Freo was the first time he was a given a fair crack at the midfield. He played 64%, 10 tackles, 7 one%'s and had 17 possesions with 88% efficiency. He is the total package. It looks like he is ready to dominate the midfield.

After a few frothys at an end of year function, i asked heath scotland who had his vote for the captaincy, and he said although it was early, that gibbsy had his vote. (This is prior to our saviour arriving of course.)

Blues Fans this kid is a gun, and will quite possibly win our next brownlow!! (after steven browne! :])

Guys this was my first post on BF. Did i cut it??? :o

Welcome to the boards.

You just have to be patient with a lot of nuffies who don't watch the game and rely on the stat sheet instead.

From a statistical point of view, we haven't seen Gibbs dominate a game but to say that he doesn't have an impact is very ignorant.

You are correct in saying that he is really looking comfortable out there and it's only a matter of time before his doubters begin to decrease significantly in number.

His 1% work is fantastic. 2nd and 3rd efforts, tackles and blocks are his specialty. Knows how to use the ball brilliantly and can create space and time for himself when there was none.

The Brownlow call is over the top though, way too early to be talking about that.

Bahahaha Gumbleton... now that is embarrassing.

[wegs on pendles]

Just because he makes 10 tackles doesnt mean his hard at the ball maybe that player but definitly not the ball.

[RangaInTeal]

As an offencive inside player, the only player that will be better than Gibbs in the future isn Adam Thomson! This is not a debate, just pure fact! But Defensivly, Gibbs is up the with Ciryl Riolli and Alwyn Davey, but will Davey get back to his best?

Man I like Adam Thomson and love to watch him down at Unley oval when he plays for Sturt, but that call is outrageous. He is not even one of the best offensive inside players in the SANFL let alone AFL.

[rolandinho]

Welcome. What are your thoughts on Jordan Russell?

Thanks. Well if i was trying to win over the critics on BF, then i would say that 'he is as useful as that bloody hackland'. :p

But in seriousness i think despite his slow start to his AFL career, he has progressed slowly and is now becoming a solid contributer. Mistkes are still being made. I compare him to a young Simmo who had an even slower start to his career. These running ball carrier types can tend to come on with more experiance as they gain the confidence to back themselves and break the lines a little more, and will often impose themselves more and more as they approach 50 games. Patience and Persistance will give us the player that we needed, when we used our #9 pick.

[SpiritR]

I think some people are forgetting how young he is,last year he still looked to small and only this year he's started to get the body size and he still manages to lay tackle after tackle!

Also he's hasnt been exposed to the midfield unlike Murph,so given more midfield time,strength that will come with age and fitness he will tear apart teams in the future!he reminds me of a cross between a Buckley and Voss!

[Gozz]

lets be honest he will never be a hird or a voss or a buckley, last week i actually sat with the carlton memebers against fremantle and i learnt a couple of things, you dont like jordan russel, gibbs cops it because his weak, and you guys still bag houlihan even though he isnt there. and another thing what makes me laugh you guys give it to fev when he has an off day.

gibbs is shit his no champion no star his shit and has not shown nothing, i dont care how old he is i dont care how many tackles. kreuzer and browne have shown more than gibbs. now what is crap the members i sat around were speaking about gibbs at half time and how he has not developed into the player they thought because they heard he played seniors for the sanfl. now tell the thread what you really think rather than all jump on the ban wagon.

Gibbs is neither the hack that some claim him to be, nor the superstar that others seem to have painted him as within this thread. The shit that the kid cops isn't warranted but to assume that the guy is going to reach the levels of say a Voss or a Hird is absolutely ridiculous. Showing signs of improvement recently but still nowhere near as impressive as a lot of other youngsters in the AFL

Never thought I'd say this but I do agree with one of your points. Yes, Gibbs hasn't done nothing. In other words he has done something.

Damn those double negatives.

Gibbs is neither the hack that some claim him to be, nor the superstar that others seem to have painted him as within this thread. The shit that the kid cops isn't warranted but to assume that the guy is going to reach the levels of say a Voss or a Hird is absolutely ridiculous. Showing signs of improvement recently but still nowhere near as impressive as a lot of other youngsters in the AFL

Myth. Gibbs has been doing what those 'youngsters' (who are older than he is) for a year and a half. Not the flash in the pan, 3 top games before disappearing off the radar (Josh Hill is a perfect example) that we see from others, but consistently, week in, week out, being a solid contributor to the team despite being the second youngest player on our list. The 'person' (note the inverted commas) who said Browne has shown he'll be better has shit for brains - I'm a big fan of Browne, but that is a ridiculous assertion.

Question - who would you rate better than Gibbs, thus far, from his draft? The only one I'd rate better so far is Selwood - and playing in the team with apparently the best 3 midfielders in the competition (any more proof that playing in a dominant side makes you look better than you actually are?) has been a hell of a lot easier than the skinnier and younger Gibbs playing for Carlton in 07. Statistically speaking, there's not much seperating the two in 08.

After that, it's Boak, Houli and Westhoff than daylight. Gibbs and Boak are clearly number 2 and 3 thus far from the draft.

[Blue Dawn]

lets be honest he will never be a hird or a voss or a buckley, last week i actually sat with the carlton memebers against fremantle and i learnt a couple of things, you dont like jordan russel, gibbs cops it because his weak, and you guys still bag houlihan even though he isnt there. and another thing what makes me laugh you guys give it to fev when he has an off day.

gibbs is shit his no champion no star his shit and has not shown nothing, i dont care how old he is i dont care how many tackles. kreuzer and browne have shown more than gibbs. now what is crap the members i sat around were speaking about gibbs at half time and how he has not developed into the player they thought because they heard he played seniors for the sanfl. now tell the thread what you really think rather than all jump on the ban wagon.

Get off these boards and go to school ffs! :rolleyes:

I wouldn't expect anything else from a Carlton fan. If you guys took the blinkers off for a second you may come to realise that Gibbs has done nothing to suggest that he is going to reach superstar status. So all this talk gushing over Gibbs is premature, but i guess i shouldn't expect Blues fans not to be digging and scraping for positives, i mean he was hailed as the messiah when he come to your club.

Isnt it funny how many magpies have come to this thread, attempting to play down certain to become superstar! Just because your team has no talent for the future, no need to be sour about it. Jelousy is a sin!!

[one_twelve112]

Thanks. Well if i was trying to win over the critics on BF, then i would say that 'he is as useful as that bloody hackland'. :p

But in seriousness i think despite his slow start to his AFL career, he has progressed slowly and is now becoming a solid contributer. Mistkes are still being made. I compare him to a young Simmo who had an even slower start to his career. These running ball carrier types can tend to come on with more experiance as they gain the confidence to back themselves and break the lines a little more, and will often impose themselves more and more as they approach 50 games. Patience and Persistance will give us the player that we needed, when we used our #9 pick.
You are far too rational to be posting on BF. Please leave :D

Yet Daisy is the next Daicos.......and Brown in the next Rutten.......:rolleyes:

Clearly you haven't watched much of Gibbs. If you haven't been able to watch and see the quality of this kid (just rewatch the round 4 game vs you in case you missed it) then I feel sorry for you........as clearly you are missing one of the great talents emerging.

Do you realise he is only 19 yr and 2 months?
Only Kreuzer is younger on our senior list (by 2 months)

Boak is 7 months older and J Selwood is 10 months older.......both in teams with much stronger midfields.

We are quite happy thanks. Sorry you either can't notice or are unable to acknowledge it.:o

I've seen plenty of Gibbs. First of all he does tackle quite well, that much was evident against us, and then again against the dockers. Now many people think that laying tackles equates to being a tough player. Not true. The Davey brothers are also excellent tacklers, not tough players. i also witnessed him turn the ball over no less than 5 times. I've heard mentioned he has the skills of a Nathan Buckley. Absolute garbage.

Not once have i said that Thomas and Brown will become superstars, in fact as recently as 3 weeks ago i was saying that if Thomas didn't perform then he should be sent back to the VFL. I don't need to run around talking up our youngsters, they will develop in due course and supporters prematurely ejaculating over them will do nothing to assist that development. I don't have a crystal ball, no top pick is a certainty to be a superstar. Have you noticed that very few opposition supporters are raving about Gibbs. It isn't envy, it is the ability to make an unbiased judgment of the guy.

Just a reminder gibbs is in hes second yr , and is improving , thomas burst into A.F.L footy and to all hes credit has had a big impact thus far , but having said that he has not gotten better.

If Gibbs was on your list, he'd be playing midfield or forward each week and running around chasing kicks like Thomas and Pendlebury. Unfortunately for Gibbs, we have a better midfield than the Pies and he'll just have to bide his time playing down back, the wing and even forward. He's already a better alround footballer than Pendlebury and Gibbs with his work rate, defensive side and tackling.

If you think Gibbs is soft, he had 9 contested possessions against the Hawks in the NAB Cup when he played on the ball with Murphy and played a huge part in our third quarter.

I think he had Mitchell moved off him for Hodge.

I'd rather have the ball in Gibbs' hands for a goal or to hit a forward lace out than Murphy, Judd, Simpson and maybe even Stevens.

He always picks the right options and uses the ball beautifully.

Hence his disposal efficiency of 83% this year.
