Toast Gibbs re-signs for 5 years!

[James_Blues]

When we sign Menz for life will be a good day

10 year deal coming up, gotta go one better than Buddy's 9 year contract

 

[Chism]

Knock $100k off the reported price. Great deal and price for Carlton

Be sure to say that in the Main Board thread!!!

BF's armchair salary cap experts are everywhere.

Ah the Main Board. Never wrong, never correct.

This is good news for the club. He is really developing this year and my feeling is that he is going to grow into a real, proper leader. Some people take time. Either way, I'm feeling positive vibes. Next few years is crucial in our cultural development and he's a good man to have as part of that, in my opinion.

It's not OK. We should have moved Gibbs on to dedicate his 500K contract to Jesse White and Quinten Lynch for three and two years.



Murphy, Henderson, Kreuzer, Thomas and Gibbs are all locked away.

Plus Walker, Everitt and Simpson.

Yarran and Menzel won't be squeezed out.

 

[HBF]

Well we've locked away Shane Rogers and now Gibbs to long term deals.
Just gotta get Yaz and Menzel done and we'll be pretty damn happy

Ah the Main Board. Never wrong, never correct.

Ah, sounds like my wife of 21 years, "Never wrong, never correct, never forgive"

 

[jezzajay]

stoked...probably the best thing to happen to the club so far this season!
make him captain already....did i just say that!?

 

[FoeverBlues]

Unless you are an opposition supporter looking to troll meltdown posts, our fickleness is neither here nor there.

Was just having some fun there mods, really appreciate your unpaid dedications, hard-work and fine line days and nights on this wonderful forums. Thank you, thank you and thank you.

Ah, sounds like my wife of 21 years, "Never wrong, never correct, never forgive"

and like my contact at the Blues as well. I sense its a "Carlton" thing

 

[Dramoth]

Great news to hear that Bryce has re-signed for 5 years and will remain a blue for life.

I also love how the media always over inflate the cost of our contracts while they seem to report accurately what other clubs are paying their players.

What's not to love!

 

[spenze]

Would have been stoked to get him at the Crows but am actually happy to see a player stick at the club he was drafted too. Good to see that Free Agency hasn't ruined the game

 

[Jimaki]

BEST NEWS EVER! WELL DONE TO THE CLUB AND GIBBA! GREAT LOYALTY MATE

 

[carlton09]

Great news for us! Expect another signing soon #13

 

[ESKIE]

Pleased, thanks Bryce x

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I'm so thrilled that Gibbs has won some respect from neutrals for the season he is having and Carlton are being commended for the re-signing.

 

[rp84]

I'm stoked. I (arguably) believe he is now our best player.

 

[Aphrodite]

Will win the B&F this year!

GO NO:4!

 

[AB_Blue]

Good onya Gibba! Hope he brings a few of his teammates along with him

 

[T2B_]

I've said it before, despite how laconic on-field he may appear sometimes, I've always had the sense that he's a real Blue Boy and he was certainly one of the guys I was least worried about leaving us.

Yeah I've gone Pro-Gibbs now I must admit (have been most of this season). I firmly believe now that he's starting to really focus on his game. One thing that struck me about his personality after watching the Video Signing was that, as loyal as he was regarding Murph remaining Captain, he strikes me as the type of player that would thrive as Captain, maybe even take his game to the next level.

Much as I love Murph, I think I'd probably like to see this Guy as Captain more, as I think he has more of a footy brain.

Either way - I'm happy... (Except for our efforts on the 150th year so Far ... )

Great interview with Mick on 5AA tonight talking about Gibbs and his re-signing. Will post the link up latter on. Very insightful about the plan for the rest of the season too.
