If he wants to go home and raise his family in SA near the kids grandparents and Uncles and Aunts, that's fine by me.
Only ticked off he informed the club in such a late and haphazard manner.
We honestly aren't very likely going to win a premiership with him and the time left in his career anyway, and he'll probably ask to go home again in 12 months time anyway, when we'd get less for him anyway.
We survived the exodus of Menzel, Jeffy, Waite, Robinson, Henderson and Yarran pretty well, i doubt losing Gibbs will have any significant impact.
People are getting their emotions cloud their judgement as to what's best for the footy club long term.
Loyalty in football is unofficially dead, its now a ruthless business, there is going to be far less one club players from now on. I don't like it, but that's the way the wind is blowing.
