Opinion Bryce Gibbs - tagger, half back or midfielder?

[pinot]

His past three weeks has been bizarre - possibly getting tired but prior to that he was in the best. Has played on some elite mids such as Cotchin and Kennedy.

 

[Captain Judd]

Surely now Gibbs has had enough time to show us what kind of player he is, and that's just above average player. Today even Voss on Fox footy has put Gibbs in Carlton's second tier of players group...
What frustrates me the most is that before he resigns, he wants to see where the club is heading down the successful road... Doesn't he understand that his a big part of the problem why we are underachieving in this club...
I for one will not miss him if he leaves...

 

[Styxx]

He currently resembles a junior Sam Winchester look a like competitor.

Think he was good against Port, up and down tonight. I think he needs to ball in his hands more often than not to be effective so he needs to be positioned where it is the most on any given game.

 

[Azul]

He'll be an absolute bona fide star for the Crows...

$3,000,000 over 5 years? Tell him he's dreaming.

 

[gbatman]

must never ever be used as a tagger, he's no good at it and he doesn't get the footy when he does.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

He had a poor one, no doubt his direct opponent Ellis, utterly cut him up.

 

[NumberEight]

I hope he leaves. We kid ourselves into believing that he is a great player.
He does great things, very, very infrequently.

Enough already with paying average players millions.

 

[pepalenko]

Bet he re-signs this week

 

[Captain Judd]

i honestly cant remember where he stood up in a game and carried the team on his back.

He was great in the EF.
He is definitely one of our more overrated players though.

 

[HBF]

Very very poor tonight.
Pulled a goal out of his backside in the last quarter, but aside from that he was largely ineffective.

Other than Judd, who has ever done this in the last 10 years?

Srs question.

Essendon elimination final and that's about it

Interesting use of Ellis tonight, last year Army hunted him down and kept him quiet and tonight he took Gibbs out of the game and hit the scoreboard.

Did we underestimate him tonight ??

Kicked two of the most bullshite goals iv ever seen.

Agree but he did have an extraordinary amount of time and space to do so that he didn't get last year, you could say those 2 goals were the difference in the game....

Ellis kicked two against us the second time we played them last year. I doubt that we underestimate a player who can run and kick.

Everitt took out Deledio last night.

BE seems to struggle to run out a game like Martin.

Perhaps Docherty might be a better match up.

Battle of the haircuts.

Just sayin'.

Very good point.

Nobody expected Ellis to be playing a tagging role though. Somehow I think Gibbs wasn't expecting to be tagged.

 

[Dramoth]

If Gibbs was wanting to be an elite mid (as per the newpaper article...) he needs to learn how to deal with tags.

 

[Wickzki]

Bet he re-signs this week

I hope so. His value can't be any lower.

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

It was *ing Brandon Ellis, an average 3rd year player not fcken Ryan Crowley... A player as good as Gibbs is spruiked to be should have had no problems dealing with that tag... Not only did Ellis restrict Gibbs from touching it, he also hurt us the other way..

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

Hopefully the Crows can work out his best role. Over it!

 

[Madblue]

Bryce is a midfielder and thats it !!!! Look how great he was playing there in the finals series last year. If Mick won't play him in the midfield then theres no point keeping him and should be traded.

 

[Mezzoculo]

So Richmond think Gibbs is the most damaging Carlton player in this game and successfully negate his influence but he's seen as a spud to some Carlton supporters?
Reckon I'll run with the opinion of footballing professionals...
