Player Watch #28 Josh Gibcus

[Dr Tigris]

Surprised, not surprised.

Absolutely elite potential. And given our tall stocks he fills a need. If Miller comes on the he and Gibcus totally free up Balta. Sort of a KPF by default. Like it.

 

[SunshineBoy]

Phwoar look at the leap on him

Disco roach

 

[dusty1234!]

I love this
Will be a 200 gamer minimum. Best of luck to him

 

[fargothegreat]

Interesting that our recruiters view him as being able to play at either end of the ground.

I reckon we see him start out as a forward in the VFL.

 

[peternorth]

Will be a gun. And if he's not ill edit this post

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Which numpty set up a jump test there lol.

Great pick. Seems a really solid pick and sets us up for a long time.

Blair Hartley.

 

[living_in_syd]

Is he fast?

 

[SplintWhisky]

So we have him as a Grimes replacement, Miller must be an Astbury replacement, Balta is Rance and Brown is Broad. I think we are making our rebuild from the back half so next year will be our mid draft.

 

[Tiger08]

Excellent pick.. you need a gun interceptor and Balta is great but he's not the second coming of Rance or Lever. This kid could be.. just a pity Leppitch isn't still around to coach him.

Was gonna troll and say this "lEtS mOvE hIm fOrWarD" but thought nah surely people wont say it this early

Welcome to Tigerland Josh.

My initial thought after you were selected was......geez your right ear sticks out like like Tex Walker’s

 

[tiger_tough]

Happy with that.

 

[ForeverHardcore]

Welcome Josh

North are building from the inside out
We’re building from the backline up. I actually love that.

Defense wins premierships
Noting the fact he can go forward as I posted a while back in the draft forum. He Used to ruck and play forward as a junior and was always too athletic for everyone else

Going to be a star

 

[tony__montana]

Stoked with this pick, fills a massive need. Now
We just need Miller go step up and our key tall stocks look a lot better

Would be stoked to have him paired with Balta down back for the next decade, but if the club want to try him up forward too I trust their judgement

Not unless you think Sarah Jones is a recruiter

 

[tigerisland]

So happy we got this guy. Best defender in the draft. AFL and the numpty commentators still have not figured out how we won 3 flags. Our defence is so damn good that the mids can run forward with confidence. If they stuff up and turn the ball over, it will be OK cos Grimes et al will ensure no goal is kicked on the turnover.
Hobbs etc would be nice but those guys don’t really move the needle. This guy can.

Club definitely pick him as forward. Natural attack of the ball in the air that the very best forwards have, very Naughton like in that regard.

Not sure what his goal kicking is like but kicking is the overall knock on his game.
