Don't need to send me the link Stamos, surely you should know that I am already aware of the stats, had Fog covered in most measure.
So your claim is false, Gibbo wasn't stopping Honey from playing considering others were underperforming

Not Wines (least of the Ollie variety sadly, that ship has sailed)

You think that post is me claiming that Cerra is a depth player?
Well, that explains everything.
You don't need to explain anything
The penny will drop soon enough.
Your claim that Gibbo was keeping Honey out, instead of Fog, Murphy, Betts is absurd
Like your claim that Newman should have made way for Willo, and so on
Keep trying to protect the list spots of the youth, the rest of us will focus on enjoying us winning games with players of all ages

Headlines today as Carlton supporters and players continue the premiership party after the club's epic win over arch-rival Essendon on Saturday.

He was never the same after Bird on a Wire.
I’ll remember the good times Mickey. Two sided player. As rare as hen’s teeth. I’m not sure that you’ll get another gig because it’s pretty tight for list spots across the AFL but you should be proud of what you achieved.

I dont mind Fog either. He does all the basics well enough and I think his kicking issues are overplayed. He and Gibbo are a genuine 50/50 for mine. One had a contract and one didn’t.
FWIW I don’t see either in the best 22 long term. Both would be great depth for a contending side and I actually think that’s where Gibbons will ultimately find himself. Could see GWS taking a punt.

The review was exactly the right thing to do to bring about an overdue change of attitude at the club.
Gone is the cosy culture of back scratching and going by Gibbons comments it has come as a shock to the system.

Those comments were silly by Gibbo.
The AFL is a very tight industry. He has now given any club looking at him serious cause for concern. He may be right, but you don't say it.
Only superstars can get away with speaking freely. Something the corporate world and the AFL have in common.

Absolutely got no issue with Gibbo and his brutally honest comments.. If he felt he was not treated fairly during his time at the club, he has every right to express those views

personally I have zero issue with what he says.
But I understand corporate culture (and the AFL is the same) - it won't be well received.
It would make me more likely to hire him. But I am odd. I surround myself with staff who disagree with me

It is simple really. Does he have the traits of a top 8 defensive forward? No. Does he have the traits of a top 8 midfielder? No.
Are we considering ourselves for a top 8 push? yes.
He doesn’t fit and is out of contract.
Good bloke who tried hard. I liked the fact he got pissed off on the way out. Probably something to do with LoB not going before him who played one decent game.

Carlton are obsessed with athletes who have no idea how to play footy. How Cottrell is still on the list for now while Gibbo is delisted is beyond me.
Seems like most disagree but I would not have delisted Gibbons. He is not in my starting 22 bit he certainly provides quality depth. He can geniuenely make an impact in the afl as a crafty forward half role player. He'll never be an A grade gun but he still has a lot to offer.
One more year, base wage, what's there to lose?
Likewise I have him well above Owies.

I personally believe both Gibbons and Cottrel should be delisted. Fighting over order is fair enough. Neither is finals worthy.

We needed space on the Primary List. Effectively meant Gibbons or LOB, and they chose to keep LOB (for now). Haven't finished with cuts to the Rookie list, will see 2-3 more. Cottrell, Boyd, Parks most likely at risk.
Pretty simple how and why things have transpired
Still creating list spots after adding 3 players and needing 3 picks in the draft.
Gibbo got cut because he was OOC, while other underperforming players are either on the rookie list, or are contracted
Anyone that could possibly suggest otherwise, would struggle to make a viable factual case
