A lot to like about his year, heaps of consistency and proved the doubters (myself) wrong. Good stuff

Think we'll have a few more inclusions next year if guys like Rowe, Yarran and Menzel can really assert themselves on the competition and stay on the park.

But this is about Gibbs, well done lad

Well done Gibbbbbbaaaaaaa

 

[Blue and Silver]

Well done Bryce

 

[HARKER]

We know he can kick and has tricks but to see Gibbs go head first into a contest without blinking is what's taken his game to a new level.

No going back from here.

THIS is what happens when you RELEASE THE GIBBS!

Well done Gibba! Now go get a real haircut....

That first game against Geelong was so damn good.

 

[Aphrodite]

Congratulations Bryce

Deserved it's own thread.

Well bloody done Gibbs.

Remember the critics after round 2 v Richmond?

He's all ours for 5 years. Enjoy your payday Gibba

Guilty as charged

Brilliant season. Add another 10goals or so next year and a couple extra possies per game and he will go from AA contender to brownlow contender.

Absolute gun.

 

[etsal1]

Guilty as charged

I honestly can't remember if I was one or not. If I was, I'm loving the egg on my face.

MM should get some love for leaving him in the midfield.

 

[T2B_]

Heck of a player and all ours

Sorry Adelaide, he's a Blue boy through and through and I've believed that for some time. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but he just seems to be a Carlton lad, against all odds perhaps.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Go Bryce. Hope he can make the 22.

 

[Quazza]

won't make it, but great to see that outsiders are starting to see him as a real player

Happy to say he sure showed me wrong

 

[Artie Bucco]

Well deserved, he had some year. I really didn't think he had it in him, especially after the first couple of rounds.

He has all the tools to be truly elite, keep it up Bryce

 

[NavyBlue5]

Giiibbbsssssyyyyyyyy!

I love it when the ball in his hands, I know something good will come of it, especially when he strolls inside 50 for goal.

And when he dishes the ball out from in and under packs its justtttt mjgftdutfiygiydgdi I don't have words to describe it.

Will poll pretty well in the Brownlow I would've thought.

Did my All Aust team before and it came down to Bryce or Rockcliffe for the last bench spot, purely on stats Rockcliffe had to get the nod.

 

[PP34]

If I looked back at my old posts involving him I'd definitely cringe.

Has reinvented himself in the midfield after a strange 2013 season, and seasons beforehand that consisted of him being very much an outside player.

Never saw him having the toughness and workrate to be an elite midfielder who can win his own ball.

 

[BIGGUS 64]

Gibbsy!! May you be an AA regular for the next few years!

 

[Matty411]

Proud of ma' boy! Onya Gibbsy - just deserts for a brilliant year. Should back this up with your John Nicholls Medal later this week.

 

[ESKIE]

Great year by Gibbs, well done

 

[pepalenko]

Meh, I prefer him on the hbf.

Seeing Eddie Betts and Sam Jacobs in the All-Australian squad is aggravating. I wish both were still at the club.

If Carlton had them instead of Warnock and Lucas/Robinson the club would be in a better place.

The trading and the situation with the free agency is a sham. Eddie should have been a one club player.

But well done Gibbs on making the squad. It would be a just reward if you made the final team.
