Josh Gibson - Where will he rate?

[TheExtractorFactor]

Has now joined Matthews and Dunstall as the only Hawthorn players to have won multiple B&F's in premiership years, which is certainly esteemed company. When all is said and done, where will he rate as a player?

Absolute Champion but to the fans of other sides just an overrated soft player who does have an opponent.

 

[BEEG]

Very similar to Corey Enright both BnF winners in Flag winning teams amazing effort

Well at least he finally has an AA after being the best defender in the comp for the past 5 seasons:....Whereas, If he played for the Cats & his name was Enright/Scarlett, then he'd have 5 by now!

 

[ApplecrossWC]

He's one of the most overrated players in the league.

Where the * was this Josh Gibson from 2006-2009?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Beating Lance Franklin.

 

[The GOAT]

He's one of the most overrated players in the league.

[BM123]

Extremely good defender with great versatility. Good to see him creating run and breaking tackles as well.

I don't care he left North, he is a tool.

Good player but very overrated.

 

[coniglio_number1]

Best spoiler in the league.

Also seems to be spoiling a certain north posters night

 

[doona]

One of the best North Melbourne players of all time.... oh wait

 

[KnaveyBlue]

3rd-tall backman, changed clubs, no real standout attributes. Give it a few years and nobody but Hawks and a few Roos fans will even know he existed.

Pretty poor comment and incorrect.. He would have to be considered in our greatest ever side now, there's no way around it.

Fwiw - I thought Mitch was by far our best player.

Gibbo
3x premiership player
2 x B&f winner ( premiership years)
AA

Probably our most accomplished flanker/3rd tall, might take Albert Mills spot in our best ever team.

 

[kneecapper]

Have never really rated him. There are far more deserving players in the Hawks line-up for the BnF imo but clearly Clarkson rates him highly as an important part of Hawthorn's defensive structure.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Funny he was AA and BnF when he didn't even have that great a year. 2011-2014 was his best. One of football's biggest myths is that he always plays loose man. Can't remember last time he did. He just reads the play that well. Great player and a 3 x p'ship Hawk

 

[Whiskers]

Voting system needs an overhaul.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Nothing overly special. Decent player, but doesn't deserve to be considered one of the best players in the last decade or so.

 

[Van_Dyke]

And B+F winners can depend on the voting system. Does anyone really think Ryan Crowley was the fairest and best player for Freo in 2012?

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

I rate Sam Fisher higher imo.

 

[Shane Hird]

They do things different at Hawforn.

 

[hench]

Heard he does alright with the ladies.

 

[HawkMongrel]

They do things different at Hawforn.

Yeah.

We win.
