I sure hope so! We really need all our main mids to be firing to be a serious contender this year. And by that, I also hope Greenwood and Gallucci return to their in-form state.His interrupted pre-season is definitely showing. He will come good.

His kicking once touted as elite has been horrendous this season for someone of his supposed calibre. A lot of those turnovers under little or no pressure.Not sure why people are hating on Gibbs. He’s part of a midfield that’s getting plenty of ball and generating plenty of opportunities.
The reality is that JJ, Tex and Betts all stink at the moment. Lynch marginally better than that.
Plenty worse than him. Plenty.His kicking once touted as elite has been horrendous this season for someone of his supposed calibre. A lot of those turnovers under little or no pressure.
You think his 11 turnovers, 6 clangers against Geelong, a lot of those disposals under little or no pressure is acceptable for Bryce. FMD I don't.Plenty worse than him. Plenty.
He’s the least of our worries.

Well by me Gibbs' season 2019 has been a major disappointment, especially given what we gave up for him and the expectations most of us had.Never said he was perfect.
Do you honestly want to track back and trawl through every players garbage over the last 3 weeks?
Or continue to cherry pick some stats of 1 player to suit?

The major disappointment has been the form of our forwards.Well by me Gibbs' season 2019 has been a major disappointment, especially given what we gave up for him and the expectations most of us had.
Neither Crouch or Keath have ever been touted as having the elite foot skills or as being as skillful as Gibbs to my knowledge.The major disappointment has been the form of our forwards.
They’ve been atrocious.
Isolating one player from an area of the field that has been functioning reasonably well, then taking a dump on him is pretty poor form IMO.
Do you want to talk about the precious Brad with his 8 clangers and 8 turnovers? Or Keaths 13 turnovers in R1?
No of course not. It’s pointless as they’re not the problem.

He averages 3.3, Gibbs 3.7. Sloane also 3.3. Funny thing about being in the midfield - you tend to be under pressure.Brad’s had 10 clangers for the 3 rounds, half of them against the Swans. And he’d probably be our biggest possession winner.

Oh and it’s Alex Keath out on his own on this stat.
I think both the forwards and the forward entries have been issues need modifying. Our number of scoring shots suggest we matched it with the Cats in going offence, just poor application/clangers by the forwards, or the forward entries are at spots where the forwards are at much more pressure to apply their trade.True, but he had what will probably be a massive outlier in round 1. Composure with ball in hand and execution is what got him in ahead of Harto. Bryce is meant to bring elite delivery but he was terrible on Thursday. He was all but disinterested in round 1 but was definitely neat with the ball at the SCG. He’s basically rolling around as our 4th most important mid at the moment. I’m not all over him because that’s where I said he’d be when we all argued incessantly about how much of a failure it was to not get him at end of 2016. He’s a solid B grader that throws in the odd A+ game here and there. But you’re right, apart from our mids hitting up defenders, our forward’s complete lack of effort to create contests is what is causing us the most grief. It’s been this way for since 2016, but didn’t matter as much because we weren’t worked out until 2017. They’re now a liability and we’d probavly be better off dropping the 4 specialist forwards and going with 4 extra mids. They’re that bad when not being served unpressured ball. At least mids will work for it.
Gibbs was the worst of the main mids regarding output relative to clangers. Also he did appear to be very laconic in the last match. Brad had some howlers as well, but you can see he played with great intensity throughout the whole game.Brad had 20 effective possessions v Geelong. Gibbs had 17.
One is the King and one needs a run in the 2’s?

Well, when you have to drop your star recruit his second year in after trading away your future for him, you have to ask some questions.
