After seeing the feedback to Ryan Buckland's most recent Carlton article, I thought I'd just jump on Twitter quickly and see if there has been a similar response to the last article (there hasn't), but what i did notice is a comment that he made about Gibbs and his forthcoming 200th.
He said that as far as he can tell, Gibbs has so far played 199 out of a possible 215 games.
That's a bloody good strike rate, and I would imagine that last year's pec injury was probably his biggest lay off.
Yup, his durability sets him apart from other footballers. No doubt he has more ability to play hurt than others in the comp. That's what made his deal of five years at 500k an absolute bargain.
