Thanks for sharing that with us XXX KINGS. I knew we all loved the club, but obviously some are a little bit more... passionate... about things than the rest of us are.

I feel sorry for your girlfriend

HaVe you seen seen Gibbs play Cypher?

It doesn't matter what I've seen since I'm not comparing him to Judd.

What if Gibbs is another Buckley?

What if he is another Goddard?

yes I have watched him in 3 games and he is a star playing against men at 17
he is a great kick hard at it and knows where the goals are

we have to take him

But he's no Judd and frankly comparing to him to a Judd puts pressure on these kids they just don't deserve. Any of the top four kids would be great but Hansen, Leuenberger and Gibbs should be the top three kids we've narrowed it down to.

I'll be shocked if we take Gumbleton.

I was more thinking about the fact that Buckley didn't hang around his first club for long.

Agree on Goddard. If Gibbs whacks on a few more cms, he could end up as a Goddard (now), maybe a pre-CHB Bowden type. This would possibly be the minimum get on Gibbs however. What turns me off Gibbs is the comparisons to Buckley - for some reason I just can't stand Buckley (a healthy Carlton bias perhaps) and for mine he is too often a glorified go-to man. This may be due to coaches' instructions based Bucks' ability to use the ball so well. I wouldn't be wasting my 1st pick on a go-to man.

Nathan Buckley ? No go you reckon. Geeze. You wouldnt want him because he such a talented, dedicated club man (with no mates admittedly).
