Bryce Gibbs v Brett Deledio

[__aria__]

i think something has seriously gone wrong with the way deledio has been coached

most of his disposals are give and go handballs and chip kicks 20 metres sideways
he does not use his great natural attributes of raw speed or penetrating kick at all

gibbs will be the better player very soon if he isnt already

 

[HBK619]

Gibbs has a bad night or shirks Stephen Milne and it's just him 'learning'.

Deledio has a bad night and he is the least efficient player in the league?

Go watch more than one game you ****en muppets.

 

[BlueDW]

he was injured did a shoulder in the 2nd played on and still had 20+ possessions in a losing side try again

How is that an excuse for his constant turnovers? Often in non pressure situations.

He needs to start being more damaging with his touches no question for him to become elite.

 

[JuDDysthacaptain]

Gibbs is a future brownlow medallist mark my words.

 

[kangaroo19]

Didn't Deledio have a shocker last year, round 1 v Carlton?

Wouldn't read much into it given he dominated for the remainder of the year. Gun.

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

Quite clearly Deledio is a much better player going by the poll results.

So us poor Carlton fans will have to make do with Gibbs and Richmond are blessed to have Lids. Let's leave it at that

 

[Blues_FC]

i was hoping deledio would do something last night, since i picked him for my DT team.

I have no ****ing idea how he managed to get 85 DT points last night since he basically did nothing all match.

i guess it's good, because if he can play like shit and still manage 85 DT points, then on a good week he should be easily topping 110.

last night gibbs > deledio. we'll see how it pans out for the rest of the season.

It's Richmond mate.

Anything to do with Richmond is taken to the extreme level of negativity by opposition supporters without a clue.

Gibbs still picks up a lot of cheap kicks behind play. Deledio had a bad night, big deal.

Yes........you know your footy really well.

Name me a midfielder who doesn't pick up cheap kicks behind play?

Next, look up the number of contested possessions and clearances.

Muppet.

Geez, touch a nerve did I?

Gibbs is alright, he's fairly reliable. He is not overly damaging though.

NEVER have a go at Gibbs in ANY WAY!

I got carded for showing off that great piece of footage of Gibbs against the man monster Milne.

 

[half_back_flank]

deledio

 

[Invigoration]

If it was a choice of right here, right now, everyone would choose Deledio. It is only Carlton bias saying anything different.

But in saying that, I still think Gibbs will be a better player down the track.

I don't know why Carlton fans are so defensive on the topic of Gibbs though, if he is so good why does everyone need to run and defend him so vehemently?
Eg. Bloke says he gets cheap kicks, which he does (although it is hardly a put down) and some Carlton fan goes mental?

 

[Bluebear]

Geez, touch a nerve did I?

Pfft....you'd like to think so.
Happy fishing.

Yep.

Can you find the video from round 14 last year?
You may recall Nick Stevens smothering a kick in the forward line, gathering the ball, dishing out a 15m blind handpass to Fisher who slotted the goal.

Go and have a look at the piece of play in the centre of the ground that resulted in the ball going forward, particularly when Tambling was about to kick the Tiges clear.......

Then get back to me.

Eg. Bloke says he gets cheap kicks, which he does (although it is hardly a put down) and some Carlton fan goes mental?

Mental is wanting to sack your coach after 1 round........or blaming the umpires for losing by 4 points when you concede 4 easy goal in the first quarter and have multiple turnovers in the 4th.

That is rich coming from a supporter base that were certain a 31 year old drug addict would solve all there problems then........83 points

Listen here and listen good! Bryce Gibbs will be reguarded as a top 15 player in the comp by seasons end, don't knock the gibblet he has something very "hird" about him that will become apparent to all the casual footy fans that can't see it already.

I don't think Gibbs is the sort of player you group into the category of being "alright/fairly reliable/not overly damaging" - the vanilla midfielder. He has so much that sets him apart from that and I am at a loss as to how people draw that conclusion from watching him play. He is going to be in an incredible player.

What the f*ck are you talking about and how is it even remotely related to Deledio and Gibbs?

Thats fair enough as that is your opinion. Also, you are expected to fly the flag considering Carlton drafted him at number 1.

Personally, that is exactly where he sits with me at the moment (alright/fairly reliable/not overly damaging). Yeah, he picks up his 30 possessions but he doesn't seem to have any real weapon. He is not ultra fast, not ultra tough, doesn't have elite skills. He is quite ordinary (as in there are a number of other players just like him). His decision making seems to be quite good though.

Don't get me wrong, I think he is a pretty good player. Just like a number of other good players running around.

Now try and sustain decent argument when I say this, but, the underlined part is exactly what Pendlebury comes off as. Pendlebury (and Deledio for that matter) can have 'good' decision making, but lacks a set when it comes to using his class, a fear of failure. This is something you won't see with Gibbs, he will forgo his disposal efficiency percentage, much to the pleasure of BF, to actually attempt to use his talents. Considering he only managed 30+ touches twice last year I think you are misinformed - once in a comfortable loss (80+ points) and once in a comfortable win (60+ points) - your argument of him accruing cheap kicks behind play is weakening further, and if you understand football well, you won't need further explanation of this.

Tigers fans care to respond to the bolded?

What does Pendlebury have to do with this thread? This thread is about Gibbs and Deledio.

 

[Naughton]

Both will be 200 game + champions at their clubs.

Deledio has been in the system twice as long as Gibbs, so if you were trying to make a case for him, you'd really hope he was showing a good deal more than Gibbs at this stage. But I don't think that's the case.

Also, Deledio will suffer a bit by playing in a team that may well struggle this year, if their start is anything to go by.

BTW, in their 2 and 4 full seasons of AFL footy, here's their respective Disposal Efficiencies averaged over their career so far:

Gibbs - 81.3%
Deledio - 74.0%

Gibbs has the skills all right. Not necessarily the freakish Stevie Johnson tricks that make the highlights packages, but he becoming freakishly consistent at a very young age. Buckley was like that.

 

[tony_montana]

i watched Gibbs with interest last week and whilst i'll happily admit lids had a shocker, Gibbs was quite deplorable with his kicking and missed targets on many occassions. funniest when walls was batting over gibbs and in mid sentence he missed a 20 metre target by foot, both walls and his co clown didnt say a peep about it.


Magpie militia your summation is perfect good ordinary player nothing special.

And you actually couldn't do it.

 

[magpie_militia]

And you actually couldn't do it.

I could easily make a case for Pendlebury, however this is not the thread to do it in.

Try and stay on topic.
