Player Watch #28 Josh Gibcus

[sante]

Thank you for the usual passive aggressive rhetorical question. I'll add to your pile of low IQ playing the man posts when the rest of us are having a constructive conversation about a football matter.

Ok champ

 

[DickieKnee]

With Gibcus's injury record there's always gonna be trepidation when he returns to the senior team. Wether it be this weekend or round 1 next season.

 

[lalorGOAT]

No point arguing, you're wasting your breath.

Our club apparently never makes mistakes and has managed all our injured players so well this season.................

Do not put words in my mouth.

 

[lalorGOAT]

And if he does get re-injured this coming game like previous occasions (which nobody can guarantee isnt going to happen) he will probably have to retire.

And all the arguements from all the people saying we should have played him will be catastrophically wrong. If it happens, I don't want to hear 'it was bad luck'.

If there is any benefit in holding him back he should be. There's a full off season of additional strength and conditioning available.

He's had nothing but strength and conditioning for years. Footballers need to play football, and if he's match fit, he should play.

D day. Let's hope ge gets through the game unscathed.

 

[Grrr]

Watched the VFL games yesterday and thought Gibcus did a lot of good defending. Whereas in previous weeks he seemed a bit in slow motion, against Willy he was leaping high in the packs and doing so with confidence. The only thing different is he seems a yard slower, which he should fix after a full preseason.

 

[Greggy]

Only concern with Gibcus is his kicking and turnovers. Needs a solid few years to iron that out of his game.

 

[Nerflardio2424]

he was pissedd off getting subbed lol

 

[Boxo004]

Oh dear don’t tell me he got through? What are the chicken littles going to whinge about

 

[WATiger86]

A decent return - stiff to be subbed but good management from the coaches

 

[Sol23]

Thought he played well.
Went for that hard sprint chase down

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

he was pissedd off getting subbed lol

He was burning holes into the back of yzes head, love it

 

[captain bloodsport]

Only his 21st game. Looking forward to seeing a clean bill of health and a full preseason. Looked positive today

 

[tropicaltiger]

surely Adem told him he'd be on managed minutes of 50 to 65% game time, good to see the young fellow fire up though

 

[GhostofJimJess]

Great outcome for Gibbo and the Tiges today.

What a different feeling this off-season will be for the young bloke because he got to play in front of a nearly 50k crowd again, and got through unscathed.

The added confidence this will give him in his body is priceless. And the fact he was livid for being managed is a fantastic sign too.

vfl next week?

 

[Boxo004]

vfl next week?

Unnecessary he might get hurt

 

[Dragonss]

The look on his face and shaking of the head after he got subbed. The kid is a psycho and I love it. Ultimate competitor.
Very pleased he got through unscathed and wishing him good health for the rest of his career.
Can definitely see him lacking some confidence with the decisions to spoil first rather than try to mark it but that will come.
Hope he has a great pre-season.

 

[lalorGOAT]

Don't expect there not to be a backlash if he ****s his career by doing so.

We are keeping receipts.

Make sure to use the recycling bin

 

[banzai]

vfl next week?

Surely not worth the risk, wouldnt consider playing him or Taj.

Yep. The VFL only exists for us to provide and groom for the AFL team, and there's just no point playing them again now our season is done.

But isn't that the point of playing them? They are both inexperienced playersm

If he's shaking his head for getting subbed then he has a couple of kangaroos running around in his top paddock.
We should have drafted the best available player which was Wanganeen-Milera.
