As much as it's gonna be hilarious watching this thread blow up over the next few days I still don't think Gibbs would've been the difference between winning and losing the grand final. I actually don't think Dangerfield, Fyfe or Kennedy would be either.
The 2017 Tigers are playing a style perfect for finals, similar to the Swans. High pressure, physical, contested footy. The Crows are more of a skillful team with great ball movement. They look awesome when they're on top but they can be shut completely out of a game by a team like Richmond. Don't see how having Gibbs would change this.
Obviously I believe a player like Gibbs would make them a much stronger team but I think their playing list is already strong enough, they need to play a style more like the Tigers in September.
That said, it is gonna be ******* hilarious watching this thread blow up
