Preview Round 1 - Fremantle vs Geelong

[Reginald Perrin]

Is that Gibbo with a silent "n"? Seriously, who or what is he?

Garrick Ibbotson.

 

[Reginald Perrin]

I think his claim is valid , apart from hamling and duffield( ibbo) that defence is just like 2013 version .

Maybe. It was the scraping over the line bit that didn't have me enthused.

 

[Demons09]

Langdon playing? Butcherer.

Christ you've shown you know nothing about cricket on the cricket thread, and this opinion shows your equally inept in all things footy.

 

[Square Peg]

Garrick Ibbotson.

Never heard him called that. ever. Cute emoticon though, keep that up Reg

Cool and when you watch him play ineptly on the weekend, just remember my post.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Cool. Last player you called that won a Brownlow.

Because winning a midfielders award by getting a bunch of stats is a defining attribute of a good player?

 

[ydraw]

It's the message that it sends that annoys me. Suban and Taberner were both poor (relative to the rest of the team) in the last Peel game. Even though Crozier is the likely one that gets through (as he earned it) and Sheridan likely held over as the emergency, I just think being listed in the squad should be a reward for putting in at WAFL. If you haven't put in, you shouldn't be listed in the squad imo otherwise they are thinking what they put out was sufficient to be considered for selection and won't get the wake up call to work harder.

On the other hand if Balic was named, for racking up the most possessions of anyone, then he'd be starting to think I've got a good chance of breaking into the B22 and would likely work even harder. Ross said he wanted to change back to people earning their spots with effort and intensity - if that is the case then Suban and Tabs don't deserve to be named based on the most recent Peel game.

Perhaps the club doesn't agree with you on the amount of effort put in. Just because someone had a quiet game doesn't mean they didn't try.

Can you think of any of the medallists who were reasonable players??

Why is Igbo being called Gibbo

 

[Reginald Perrin]

Why is Igbo being called Gibbo

Because it's better than Igbo.

 

[meima]

Because it's better than Igbo.

Gibson if you don't mention his actual name.

 

[wayToGo_]

Possibly. But someone who doesn't have a quiet game is clearly trying hard

Some bald bloke goes alright

 

[AAACockburn]

He should be known as Garrick.
Maybe his mum met his dad on a one night stand and couldn't remember if his name.
Was it Garry? Or was it Eric?
Either way Garrick is a cool name.

Either way Garrick is a cool name.

There was a Derby quite a few years ago where Garrick lined up alongside Gerrick.

Pretty high benchmark, Gaz is the best player of his generation.

 

[scon]

I thought he was still talking tripe.

He asked if I thought any of the medallists were good...

Are you suggesting that because the bald gadget won

Hard to understand what you're actually on about.

PS The bloke you're calling a butcherer is how old and played how many games of AFL.

 

[Righteo]

The only name you throw up is one of the best mids of all time. Like I said, you appear to have an unreasonably high benchmark if Gaz is the only player you put forward as a "good" winner.

 

[meima]

Bartel is not bad either, underated by many.

 

[Bradesmaen]

He was the first name, no need to put anymore

His age and games don't affect skill level.

 

[scon]

Gotcha.
He should've arrived ready made and development isn't a thing.
Notwithstanding the fact that his skill level is fine for a fella with under 20 games.
I think I've compared nonsenses with you enough for a decade or so.
Ta.

 

[E Shed]

Completely agree Balic & Collins should have been named based on effort for Peel.
Don't really get why Collins isn't getting a look in.
Won't melt provided Suban Taberner Sheridan are left out of the final team.
