It's grating that you choose to focus on Gibbs' negatives more than the next player. People react the same way if you point out that Murphy isn't a pure in and under player like Judd and Selwood who have the body, intent and size for this position. Each player has their own style and game that is far from perfect. You seem fixated on Gibbs more than Simpson's inability to kick for goal after ten years.
We were promised more this preseason and he's yet to deliver. Still playing very good footy but it's not the AA, Murphy/Judd level footy that both Ratts and Judd predicted.
If it does appear I focus more on his negatives it's because of the high expectations I have of him. I'm not particularly concerned if Joseph puts in an average game or Bower gets 5 kicked on him because truth be told they are limited in some respects.
What are Gibbs' limitations? What's stopping him from taking the competition by the throat? You tell me, because I look at him and see a guy who should be a top 20 footballer in the competition. And that perception isn't based on the number he was picked but what he's shown in patches over his career. Clearly coach and captain agree.
