Athleticism isn't only just jumping, you do know that right? I credited Gibcus saying he has a good timing of his leap when going for intercept marking. Also jumping high is a technique too, obviously you can develop muscles in your leg to improve that but it's mainly technique, which is a really good trait to have in Gibcus's position. I ain't sure of Gibcus's speed and acceleration as i've never seen him isolated 1 on 1, so i can't make judgement on that but it's concerning don't you think he doesn't rebound the ball out of his defensive zone or is given that responsibility by his coaches, especially when he's given the licence to play off a man. I don't have an agenda against Gibcus but i feel he leaves a lot to be desired, as he hasn't been challenged or shown he can rebound out of 50. I also mentioned i'm happy to be proven wrong but from what i've seen im not convinced as of yet, but that's partially down to covid, lack of exposure and not be tested by quality forwards.From https://www.topendsports.com/sport/afl/nab-league/testing-boys-2021.htm
