Player Watch #28 Josh Gibcus

[JAKLAUGHING]

There was alot of people here melting we didnt take Hobbs

I was and am still extremely happy with our boy , He is most certainly top 5 talent in his draft

JHF / Daicos / Callaghan / Rachelle / Gibcus

Not me...I think Tiges dodged a bullet there...

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Daicos and Bowey would also be ahead if him. Probably Jai Newcomb and Nic Martin too.

Dont get me wrong what he's doing is just as impressive as any of them but unless you're racking up disposals or kicking goals you've got next to no hope of winning the rising star these days. JHF got the nom this week for a nothing game.

Bowey may be ahead of him but is playing the easiest position on the team as the small defender in a dominant defense.

Daicos certainly isn't ahead of him. He is running off half back as the seventh defender and looks like an accumulator rather than the match winner he was touted to be.

Martin has had one good game and both him and Newcombe are what 21 already? They don't give the award to the mature age players

At $101 Gibcus is worth a dabble. He’s not on the ‘expert’ radar yet, but if his form holds up (or probably improves as he gets more confidence) and he gets a nomination, when his stats are analysed (intercepts, rebound 50’s, goals conceded, disposal efficiency etc…..) he will quickly come into single figure odds.

Actually, Jaidyn Stephenson (2018.)

 

[tunksy]

His time will come, and if this trajectory continues, I think he’ll win the whole thing. Mids come in every year and make an impact but you never see this sort of contribution from a 1st year key defender

Talia was the last to do it i think

 

[Cdog71]

It's pretty hard for a KPD to get a rising star nom, compared to the dozens of young mids forwards who will either have big 25 possession games or someone will kick 4 goals+ in any given week.

Gibcus won't win the award, really couldn't care if he gets a nom or not. He's going to be great either way.

Tahlia won the rising star

 

[tiger_tough]

Bowey may be ahead of him but is playing the easiest position on the team as the small defender in a dominant defense.

Daicos certainly isn't ahead of him. He is running off half back as the seventh defender and looks like an accumulator rather than the match winner he was touted to be.

Martin has had one good game and both him and Newcombe are what 21 already? They don't give the award to the mature age players

As I said I'm not saying what he's doing is any less impressive, but in the votes those guys will all be ahead.

Martin has had 2 great games and a couple very good ones. He'll go close to winning it if he keeps it up. As for Newcombe - he's 20 and in his 2nd season. He'll get votes, as he should. Plenty of rising star winners have been in the 2nd or 3rd year.

 

[Sol23]

Gibcus will be class and a great player for the RFC , But he is just a 18 year old kid without the strength to compete with the big KPF and same goes for Biggy , These 2 boys are still 2 years away from being able to handle the likes of McKay,Hawkins,Cameron,Walker etc

Miller is the player we need to play this year if a KPD is required

Come again.

 

[Spluff]

Talia was the last to do it i think

He was in his third year when he won.

Maybe for a cash out option but he won't win it.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

Come again.

What are you my wife

 

[Marcel Proust]

In the best Richmond back 6

 

[Acinath]

Absolute gun, nailed this pick

 

[Wavvey]

Might have to start a fan club for this kid, 14.6kms run. 2nd most in the team to Jack Graham

. Absolute beast. Club couldn’t have nailed the pick more than this bloke. Will be a Richmond great.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

Love Gibbo he will be a 250+ game gun defender for Richmond and we have a top 5 talent on our hands

Balta , Gibcus , Brown , and hopefully Biggy has our defence set for the next decade

 

[WATiger86]

Pretty impressed that the club didn’t rush Tarrant back in for the pies - Gibbo holding his own

This kid is a freak , playing like a 200 gamer
Incredible talent

I wanted Hobbs but only with our second pick.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Wanted Hobbs with our first pick, lucky for us im not a recruiter.

 

[tugga]

Wanted Hobbs with our first pick, lucky for us im not a recruiter.

I wouldn’t have been unhappy with Hobbs at our first pick either.
glad I have no idea.

 

[Cotchy9]

Just popped up when we needed him, kept thinking “that’s a certain mark to Collingwood” and he’d just rush in with a fist. This guy is a bloody gun

 

[richoatthedisco]

In the best Richmond back 6

Yep. Take a seat, Vic Thorp.

 

[tugga]

Hobbs has been massive tonight

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

I wanted Hobbs but only with our second pick.

No issue with our 2nd pick but with Gibcus on the board it would have been crazy

Hobbs is a nice player but he went about his range and was crazy how it was talked up we were trying to upgrade our pick to get hobbs before our #9
