The other gets thrown to the trash, no trades etc

Gibbs - Born March '89
Thomas - Born June '87

Gibbs but only because Thomas will never again reach his best. Gibbs will never get near the level Thomas was at from 2009-11

How do you know??

Don't be so bitter and biased.
 
lol. :eek:

Say no more please.
We shall see in the long term. Regardless of how humorous you find it, whether he gets back to 100% is a very legitimate question. It's the difference between recruiting the star we saw in 2010 and 11 or just an average player. A huge part of Daisey's game relied on endurance, acceleration and agility. He doesn't have the skills to do what players like Hodge have managed to do which is remain an a-grader despite his body slowing down. Without his athleticism Thomas is just an average AFL footballer imo.

From what I've seen of his games in 2014 (not to mention two lean seasons), as well as from people like Brereton (I think it was him, not some random ringing in) on the radio, it seems unlikely Thomas gets back to 100%.

What evidence do you have to suggest that Thomas will get back to his best?

In short 100% Thomas >> 100% Gibbs > 80% Gibbs >> 80% Thomas.
