Top game tonight. Top.

 

[Bulge]

Meep. F***ing. Meep. Everywhere tonight, and THAT TACKLE!!

Outstanding.

 

[Daz]

Absolutely outstanding. He's a well rounded gun midfielder now.

 

[Elite Master]

Played his best game for the club tonight. He was instrumental with his running, accumulating, defensive pressure, contenstent ball and just all the little things. His kicking was really good and he didn't waste much of the ball. A running machine.

 

[tazaa]

That tackle.

I know. BEAST.
BOG tonight. And hes the 8th midfielder
Hes such a weapon at the G
Id ******* hate Gibbo if he was my opponent haha

 

[Smoocher]

Started a bit shaky with a few turnovers that cost us early but boy did he more than make up for it with his work rate.
Great game.

 

[kangaspurs]

Hopefully tonights game softens the Gibson doubters. Since I've joined BF I've been absolutely astounded at the amount of vitriol towards him from North supporters. I mean sure he can butcher it at times but tonight shows just how much he offers.

 

[Twinkletoes]

At the ground I knew he was bloody good. Watching the replay rammed that fact home. Worked his arse off all night and contested the pill with abandon.

Meep. F***ing. Meep. Everywhere tonight, and THAT TACKLE!!

Outstanding.

i assume your talking about the one on Tomahawk when he ran the entire field to lay it!!!

I can live with the odd banter about his disposal but early comparisons with Liam Anthony used to make me vomit.
you definately cant say Gibson lacks courage.

That Gibbo run wins you flags. Immense. Brilliant interview post match. So many of our lads speak well.

On our website. I loved it because he is so humble & thoughtful.

Well SH, i guess that run could qualify as "The Required Effort".

[ansonholt]

i run marathons, but it staggers me watching this bloke run repeat sprint efforts..

So do I Jonnoo! I'm training for the Melbourne Marathon this year at the moment. What about you?

 

[andana]

That tackle.

 

[Rockstar6]

If he could kick as well as he runs, he would be a mega, mega star! Well done Gibbo you have made your name on the big stage!

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

How about getting the ball in the defensive goal square, 25 seconds later, gets a kick on the wing, it rebounds and he lays a bone crunching tackle in the space of 40-50 seconds, how do you do that? I believe that was in the third.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

His first half was unbelievable.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Need to rewatch the game to see if he started at any centre bounces. Was it an intentional tactic to use him on ball to freshen up our other inside mids or was he just clearing the ball at will because he was playing like a man possessed?

 

[roomagic1984]

Some say that they saw him running on the Monash after the game as the traffic was so bad it was quicker for him to get home.
