Bryce a squibb? Hardly.
Hard at the ball (and the Collginwood players) all day, and his tackle and free kick for count compliments that. Some of his disposals early on were very skakey, but from midway in the first quarter, it was all smooth sailing. He didn't have a 30 possession game, but I wouldn't be suprised if he polled a vote or two in the Brownlow tally for this game.

I think I have one more week of doing Bryce so, here it goes!

Watching Bryce today, I didn't really see him get into the action, but according to the stats, he had a lot of the ball! Playing out of the backline again, he was pretty quiet IMO. I still think he needs to be persisted with in the midfield. On a pretty bad day for football, he kept his man to a couple of goals (if I recall?), so it's a bit of a win on that note.
He needs to play in the midfield, his pressure is so much better when he's there, and it will do both him and the team wonders.

Thanks EBIAC for looking after my buddy for me.
I'll have poll position in front of the T.V. Friday night for the WCE game.......and if babybears sleep doesn't get better quickly then the report could follow soon after in the wee small hours.
It's good to be back, but jst in cased i missed something:
Russell is a dud
We should have kept Kennedy
Fev should be traded
Waite should play forward
Judd doesn't look fit
We should have taken Cotchin or Palmer
If Hoops was playing I'd wish he wasn't
Bannister is a hack
Gibbs is soft
Cloke is 1.5cm too short to be a ruckman (one of my fav's this)
and finally
Betts is sloppy with his disposal and doesn't sneak enough goals
Bower is indecisive.....or maybe just has poor disposal.......no, I think I was right the first time........but actually now I think of it.........ah whatever....
Hartlett is GAWN......his body too fragile for AFL and we should take whatever we can get for him at the end of the year.
Kreuzer is too small to be a ruck and too tall to be a mid, too thin to be a KPP and too fat to be in fashion week.
Bentick is too slow
Fisher is a legend
Did I miss anything?

You've obviously got your team's jumper filling your head sh!t and p!ss for brains!? The boy, and that's still what he is, will be an bloody champ. Already one of the better tacklers in our line-up and will be Buckley's size when physically mature down the track.

Another promising game tonight, kicked a few goals and used his evasive skills quite well.
What is going on with him playing as a backman? Played on Thompson, Goodwin and Porplyzia last week and now Embley when he went forward this week. His talent seems to be going to waste, surely his role will change very soon. He needs to be 'let free' so to speak, give him chances in the centre bounces and just lets him prove himself. Against Essendon, he had 11 touches and 4 clearences in the second half. Has been very good down back but he will definately be more effective for us playing through the middle. He has spent pretty much his whole career down back, i think it is time to "REALESE THE GIBBS!!!"

jeeze, gibbs' confidence has skyrocketed I reckon. He took on an eagles player (think it was stenglein), swearing at him, full into it. Then when he got his second goal he was real pumped up. then in the rooms after hte game whilst singing the song, he was making signs to the camera, winking at it n shit, and the only one dousing the boys in the middle who got their first win.
he seems very confident out on the field and amongst his teammates now, which is great

BG vs WCE, round 7 2008.
The Summary:
18 possies (8 k, 10 h/b)
4 contested possessions
94% Efficiency
2 Clangers (both from kick ins)
7 marks
3 tackles
2 goals
3 Bounces
1 1%er (I dispute this)
The opponents (stats while on Gibbs):
Masten (4 kicks, 1 ineffective)
Armstrong 2 kicks
Rosa 2 kicks, 1 effective
Embley 1 ineffective possie
Ebert 1 ineffective possie
The detail Quarter by Quarter
1st Quarter - Lines up on Masten on HF/midfield rotation
2nd Quarter
3rd Q - on Rosa at HB.
Rosa - 2 possies, 1 ineefective
Gibbs - 1 kick. 1 goal.
Gibbs appeared to be taken away from HB by his opponent, deeper into the WCE forward line, but still managed to keep his man quiet, at a time when the WCE were surging, and also sneaked forward to get a vital goal for us.
4th Quarter - on Embley at HB
Embley - 1 ineffective kick
Gibbs - 4 h/b, 4 kicks, 1 goal
I think this was one of the more pleasing games from Gibbs. His opponent tried to take him out of the game in the secoind half, and Gibbs was smart enough to attack and kick 2 goals, while still keeping his man, playing as a forward, to a few generally ineffective disposals.
Is developing into a bit of a general across HB and was yelling instructions to players to set up the play at times. Agree with the comments about this game showing a more mature Gibbs........and a counterattacking one as well.

What I really liked, as you point out, is that in the Pies game his first 10 minutes was terrible, then he turned it around with hard work and was one of our best by the end of the day.great work Bluebear!!! enjoyed it

Same with the WCE game. A couple of botched kick-ins but he went back and had a third go........and guys like Stevo and Scotty let him - shows some faith and some confidence.
Love the goals off the HBF too.

Johnstone 1 handball, 1 kick, 1 goal
Hooper 1 kick, 1 handball
Harding 0
Notting 0
McGrath 2 kicks, set up 1 goal - not Gibbs fault).
The detail Quarter by Quarter
Q1 - Wing vs Corrie
1. Handball (Clanger) - gathers loose ball on the HBF, turn into corridor running to CHB bouncing football. HAndball to Simpson who is immediately tackled. Turnover goes inside 50 for a behind.
2. Mark and Kick - Marks kick in in BP. Slow to dispose, kicks to Jammo in goal square. Jammo kick marked by Johnstone outisde 50. Goal.
Corrie receives and gives handball at CHB, Gibbs trailing with little pressure. Corrie follows up pushing deeo into F50, Gibbs trailing in midfield.

Gibbs had to contest, Russ laid his second crap high tackle in 30 seconds, should have been ball up CHF.
Gibbs now moved to loose man in front of Brown. Starts off standing right next to him. Grigg on Corrie.
4. Kick - Spoils Bradshaw on wing, Jammo gathers loose ball, h/b to Gibbs running back towards D50. Under pressure from Johnstone, kicks to Waite at D50 flank. Waite kick into corridor intercepted by Brennan. Gibbs had run to play where mark would have been taken to receive handball....Johnstone trailed.....Johnstone runs forward with turnover 15m headstart on Gibbs, recevies from Brennan - goal.
5. Kick - Sucked up to D50 with Brown. Doubles back to gather spoil from Jammo on Bradshaw in FP. Kick to Browne across goal square is marked and cleared.
Pushed up into midfield to man up Corrie during Lions kick in. Had run back to D50 when Brown marks running back with the flight of the ball 15m out.
Gibbs starts 10m in front of Brown at next C sq bounce as loose man.
6. Handball - receives h/b from Hadley, h/b to Scotty 30m out. Runs forward to D50. Ackland marks from Scotty kick, tries to h/b to Gibbs running past - Gibbs under immediate pressure, tries to knock ball on instead of tacking possession. Johnstone gathers, h/b to Black, misses shot on goal.
Bench last few mins of quarter.
Gibbs - 3 kick, 3 h/b
Corrie - 1 h/b, 1 kick, sets up 1 goal
Johnstone - 1 kick, 1 goal.
Too loose on Corrie. Too attacking and not respecting his man. Could have been hurt more as Corrie pushed into dangerous positions unmanned, but Brown and Bradshaw main targets.
Pushed into midfield when clearly supposed to be filling hole in front of Brown. Loose play contributed to two goals. COuld have been 4.
Basically, like the rest of the team, slow start and unusual poor decisions at times.
Q 2 - On Hooper at CHF.
1. Handball - receiving poor handball from Waite. Gathers loose ball and H/b back to Waite. Continues to run to D50 to receve next 2 possies.
2 & 3. Handballs - receives from Jammo, gives to Scotty, gets back from Scotty and gives to Setanta who is under pressure immediately and a turnover results.
Hooper marks and handballs free on the wing.......Gibbs nowhere near him.
Easily sidestepped by Notting as Notting runs forward without much pressure.
Grigg to Hooper. Gibbs on Harding.
4. Kick - Marks Simpson kick on the wing. Kick hits Murph lace out in the C sq., kick to Scotty, h/b to Russ, kicks goal on the run.
Bench for 3-4 mins
Back on into centre square on Harding and then Johnstone.
Sucked into contest in c sq. while Johnstone stays out. Johsntone receives contested ball and clears C sq without pressure.
5. Handball - lays body on Selwood to win contested footy, handballs to Bentick running past to go I50.
6. HAndball - Marks at HFF, quick handball to Scotty running past
On Harding on the wing.
7. Handball - receives handball from Kreuzer at CHF, h/b to Murph running past.
Gibbs - 6 handballs, 1 kick
Harding - 0
Hooper - 1 handball
Johnstone - 1 handball
Improved effort. Pure midfield role and seemed to be making better decisions.
Q 3 - CHB on Hooper
Clearance from C sq to CHB, footrace with Gibbs and Hooper. Gibbs keeps body in front well and holds up Hooper, taps ball out b/w legs to support.
1. Kick - Mark from Kick in, play on called. Delivers 40m kick to Hadley outside D50.
Pushing forwards 20m from Hooper. Not quick enough when the turnover comes, Hooper marks uncontested outside F50 - hits Johnstone - misses.
2. Kick - playing loose behind ball up as safety at D50. Takes possession of loose handball, Kicks to Betts on tight lead, h/b to Murph running past, 3 bounces and goal.
Bench for 3 mins.
Wing on Notting on return.
3. Kick - marks kick in outside 50, plays on and kicks to Bentick at CHF, h/b to Judd - goal
4. Handball - receives from Bower and gives to Scotty in loose play on wing.
Pushes forward umanned. Hadley blazes from boundary and misses. Would have backed Gibbs from 40m 45 degrees.
5. Kick - chases loose ball on D50, kicks to boundary line.
Gibbs - 4 kicks, 1 h/b
Hooper - 1 kick
Notting - 0
Pushing from wing into F50. SHould have had 1 shot on goal from 40m. Kicking to targets contributed to 2 goals. Now back to standards of WCE game 2 weeks prior.
Q4 - Starts on bench 5 mins. Then HF on McGrath.
Flys for mark on goal line over Fev, misses.
1. Kick - h/b receive from Fisher, hits Wiggins at CHF on lead. Runs hard forwards to receive.
Hitout as 3rd man up.
2. Kick - h/b receive from Simpson, snaps on goal - OOBOF.
3. Handball - receives from Bower whilst running past on the wing, in trouble does u-turn, hits Scotty whilst being tackled.
Kick in from behind hits Grigg.
4. Kick - Receives h/b, kicks inside 50 to Judd marking contest. Fev goal from free kick.
Starts in C sq. and runs forwards unmanned to FP with our clearance win. Kick from Scotland clears Gibbs head. Would have marked and kicked from 30m, 45 deg.
5. Handball - takes possession of loose kick from Scotland near boundary line, h/b whilst being slung in tackle. Turnover.
Good pressure on McGrath kick, turnover to Scotland.
6. Kick - Marks kick from Scotland.
Gibbs - 4 kicks, 2 h/b, 1h/o
McGrath 2 kicks.
Overall Gibbs game after half time was quite good and back up to the standards he set during the WCE game where I thought he played one of his best games for us.
Seemed to be having trouble knowing whether to attack or defend, but turnovers from teamates put him out of position badly at times.
Kicking was very good and decisions perfect to be involved in setting up a couple of goals.
Anyone who thinks he is still stuck in the back pocket didn't watch this game closely as he rarely got that deep, and even then it was as a loose man. Still learning his midifield role and maybe too attacking, but that's fine at this stage. Good learning game from Gibbs.

In that time Gibbs started on the bench each of the first 3 quarters. When he came on played in the midfield, rotating in the centre square. Up until the middle of the third Q his opponents only had 3 possies while he had 13.
Was very good at pushing back this week to man up, then push forward into space, such that it was hard to figure out who his direct opponent was at times.
Pivotal in the goal that Stevens kicked, winning a hard ball (squib indeed) copping two oncoming tacklers, ducking them (Leigh Mathews style) before gaining his feet, hitting Stevo with the handball and giving us the lead.
Now up to 5th in the club for tackles which is great given he is playing as a midfielder rather than in the back pocket. Is creating a lot of pressure around the stoppages, but also running to space to recevie when we clear the ball.
Still learning the midfield ropes, and an unaccountable Freo outfit certainly didn't punish any loseness. Looked to be better at picking when to attack, and with older/more senior players demanding the ball in the midfield tends to get caught in the middle of plays, but is on a steep midfield learning curve and coming along nicely.
Next week will be a much bigger test as his opponent will likely push hard the other way to hurt him, and try and restrict him.

Had 8 touches in the third when we were getting pumped.
A dismal game from all in the Navy Blue. Couldn't bring myself to watch the tape and sit through it again.
Held his head reasonably high after half time.........but, in a week when tackling was supposed to be our buzz word, Gibbs went from 10 vs Freo to 1.
He wasn't alone.
Snapped a lovely goal early in the last, and followed up with an pressure free goal later.
He, along with the rest of the midfield will be hoping to ACTUALLY increase their pressure, rather than talk lots about it and do the opposite.

Watch the tape Bb - the only truly scary Q is the 3rd and you have the consolation of Gibbsy getting 8 possies

Not sure I can............I hate playing the Cats.
To think, at half time I had my hopes up.
Anyway, for the second youngest guy on our list, he held his head high.

Again, BG with a modest return from the stats sheet, but he kept H Shaw to his worst figures for the season. Even in round 4 when Grigg did a good job (I thought) tagging Shaw, he got 25 possies.

He's had extremely important roles for us over the last 2 weeks and done them brilliantly.
First it was Chadwick, and now Shaw - 2 of their respective clubs most damaging players. He has managed to completely nullify their influence on the games.
He has been a vital part of our success over the last few weeks.
Who gives a ____ if he doesn't get much of the ball when he's tagging?

My son was critical of him not roving the tap at the very first bounce but unless you see the down the ground angle as well, there is no way of really telling how close it went to a player for TV gives you a limited view - 2 dimensional at that. Same in Q2 when I was desperate to see AB get in the game - I could not see why BG wheeled around when he received a hball from AB but most likely there was no one presenting down the ground.
You have to love all those contested possies and tackles. It was a pity about his 2 behinds - any other week and he probably gaols/goals them both. Good for his development to see him put in the mix early.

Gibbs showed us something quite new on Saturday, and took a big step towards becoming an A grade midfielder.
He showed us run and carry, and not only that but the ability to hit targets with his 40m+ passes on the run.
For mine, this was Gibbs best game for the Blues. He has been fluctuating between being a defensive midfielder pushing forwards, and being an attacking midfielder with defensive qualities.
He has found himself between the play a lot this year when trying to attack, and getting caught out going back the other way when the turnover comes. Too often when he got the ball previously, he would stop and direct a kick. Saturday he had licence to run and bounce..........and he looked every bit as quick as anyone on the field.
Gibbs arrived Saturday as a midfielder. He may fluctuate again, but he is growing week by week.
I just hope the boys don't step back when Judd comes back into the side.

He certainly was in my votes! I think he has taken a massive step foward now!
Gibbs is going to be unbelievabley good he just tries to do all the right things, and the more he gets use to afl footy the more he seems to do it.
He seems like a real classy stand up type guy as well in the James Hird mould and would be an obvious choice for captain in the future.
