They fly tomorrow, I doubt they will transport Gibbs up to perth for no reason. They have to make an early call.
I read today that Gibbs is flying over, but purely for social events. Whatever that means as far as I know the club is having no social events while here and why would you send an injured player to do that
In Rattens press conference he said that Kruz and Gibbs would probably fly over with the team but it was purely for social reasons - to attend coteries group functions.
Hmm yeah, you basically just repeated what I said
As opposed to Davies?

Surely with Ratten saying Kreuz's injury is still an unknown then why would they risk a plane flight. .. Not sure of the risk on Gibbs' shoulder with the flight. ..
Can understand that if it is safe then its good to take the lads for the flight. .. Be interested to know the medical advice. ..

As I said at the time, I thought Gibbs would play, but I don't se any tactical advantage in naming him late. I don't think WCE will select a different side based on Gibbs, but who knows, maybe Ratts is practising for when he really needs to "do a sheeds".

Dr Peter Larkins is extremely sceptical of Ratten's comments that Gibbs won't play.
Thinks Gibbs' AC joint injury is at the very lower end of the scale and most certainly isn't worth missing a final for.
Good news for you guys.

I too am extremely sceptical.
Having done both a severe and a mild AC sprain, I would have thought Bryce could play after seeing the impact and his reaction.
With the mild sprain I missed 1 week and played with pain for a couple more afterwards. Range of motion was OK, roughly 80% 1st week back, and bumps, tackles, etc did no further damage.
Considering it's a cut-throat final I am surprised we're supposedly going to be so cautious.
Gibbs is going to Perth even if he isn't playing...

I wasn't aware that Peter Larkins was the club doctor? When did he have his consultation with Bryce?
every article this week... at the very least he'll be over there for functions etc
Pretty sure Larkins works out of the same clinic where the Carlton Club Doctor works from.

That's what I heard as well.
According to this article, Gibbs was not sighted at the airport.
