Tend to agree with most on here. I'd rate him marginally (just) ahead of Van Berlo. I can see why Reid did the deal, but he's been a massive flop.

Jesus there's some crap being spouted here, Bryce Gibbs has been a very good footballer right up to this season where he's been struggling with playing to Don's perceived role for him. I don't think anyone that has watched Bryce right through his career has suggested he's ever been rated "elite" but some of the talk here is just ridiculous. Bryce has been a very good footballer and unlike some here dining out on his 'average' form this year I'll be hoping he can recapture his mojo and find his best form in the back half of the season.....we are a better side with Bryce playing at his best.
And nothing you say or do can change anything, Bryce is Crow now and you're just a broken record..

How many other non elite footballers commanded the trade price Gibbs did in the twilight of their career?
Delids?

Bryce Gibbs is a significantly better footballer than Nathan Van Berlo
Between Pyke, Camporeale and Gooden; the players are getting mixed message and anything getting squid right now is being contradicted by another coach.
Wednesday night, Bryce was told he was playing by 1 coach, come Thursday afternoon a different coach told him he was out. Disgusting communication and no one is having any account of what they are saying.

To be perfectly honest I'd clear forgot about the Jenkins thing and I'm not bothered anyhow as your one poster on here I'm not particularly interested in much you've got to say. Gibbs has been a very decent AFL footballer largely for most of his career in any unbiased fair minded football watchers eyes. We certainly paid a premium to get him, I've never argued we didn't. He mostly met my expectations last season in an underperforming team wracked with injuries after a epic failure of a pre-season, not so much this season. Bitching and carrying on still over what we gave up to secure him changes what exactly? You win some, you lose some, that's life, get over it.Nothing we say or do on this forum changes anything regarding the Crows anyway. So what exactly are you suggesting? we just shut the whole thing down? You're best off contacting the BF admins rather than me in that case mate.
Basically you know I'm right, you've got nothing to refute it so you're dodging and deflecting like you always do.
Speaking of I'm still waiting for you to come back to me with how many pack Marks Jenkins took in that performance you were praising him for right before he wasn't recalled. You said you'd let me know after the replay but rather than admitting you were wrong like a man you just hoped it never came up again.

really? which one of our core inside mids does he replace? CEY, MCroch, BCrouch or Sloane?
True, but the Cripps first rounders will each be single digitsWhat star player did we get?
Because Gibbs isn't a star of the competition in any sense of the word. If a player hasn't made the AA list in over 10 years of their career and has no other accolades worth mentioning... how do you justify the title of star?
when you use the words star/gun so loosely they lose all meaning.
The BEST you can say about Gibbs is that he was a solid player in a terrible team.
You want to see how a star in a terrible team looks? Look at Patrick Cripps.
-6 years younger
-already has an all Australian
-has already won more carlton B&F (not that those are worth much).
-has already finished 4th in the Brownlow medal count, Gibbs has never even cracked top 10 iirc.
Cripps is a star, Gibbs is not.
Cripps is worth 2x first rounders, Gibbs is not.

That's similar to what we gave for Gibbs....didn't I tell you this yesterday.Only took 1x first and 1x 3rd to get it done.
Considering most elite AFL midfields run 8 deep these days, I’ll leave it at that as I’m sure you will find something wrong with my selection.

You find me an elite AFL midfield running 8 inside mids, I'll wait.
Guess you will be waiting a long time as I’m now turning the footy on and shifting my care factor to zero.
Enjoy your petty argument. Means nothing to me now!

Why would he be told he was playing a day before main training and the MC meeting to select the team ..?Between Pyke, Camporeale and Gooden; the players are getting mixed message and anything getting squid right now is being contradicted by another coach.
