How many games next year?

[marcmurphy3]

It appears Bryce Gibbs will probably play 22 games next season bar injury. Do you think any of the others would be a chance to play many games and if so how many?

Hard to know. I'm hoping Hampson can play 10 games, although that's probably asking a lot. Gibbs, like Murph, has the potential to play 22. Although I wouldn't be surprised if he's rested at some point in the season. The fact that he has played senior level footy for several years already, is a huge advantage though. He'll play V Tiges round #1. I've pencilled that one in as an easy-win.

I doubt Hampson will play more than a couple games next year- he is a ruckman and they all take longer, plus the fact that he hasn't been playing footy for long suggests that he'll probably take a couple of years to develop.

Not according to Denis.

But coach Denis Pagan said there was no pressure on Gibbs to match Murphy's feat of 13 first season matches.

"We're not going to put any expectation on him and say he has to play 'X' amount of games," Pagan said.

"We just want Bryce to go out and enjoy his football, and what will be will be.

"We don't want him to feel any pressure and I'm sure he's going to do himself and his family, and Glenelg, very proud. If you were a punting man you'd back him to play some games (next year)

Yeah but you'd always expect him to say that. If he came out and said that Bryce will play 22 games next year that would put an enormous amount of pressure on the kid. History has shown that the number one picks from the last few years have played the majority of the matches and I expect he will probably do the same.
