Stats history: Lindsay Gilbee (AFL Tables)

2011 was a year which saw Gilbee thrown around to play a variety of roles from half back, to half forward, defensive forward to midfield. Gilbee struggled throughout the year with both form and injury that saw him play just 13 games and end the year playing for Williamstown.

His game against Richmond was one of the great individual forward games seen this year in which he contributed 10 goals kicking 6 and directly assisting in another 4.

2012 looms as a crunch year for Gilbee in the last year of his contract, over 30 and seemingly lost a yard of pace. May have to reinvent himself as his days as a top quality half back where he could use his deadly kicking ability seem gone due to a loss of speed and youngsters like Wood and Schofield pushing through.

Notable Games:

Round 8 - vs Richmond: An outstanding individual game playing up forward with 6 goals and 4 goal assists from 16 posessions.

Any one seen or heard anything about this missing Dog lately ?

3 weeks away after a knee injury that he got two weeks ago. Probably the last thing a player in what looks like his final year would want outside of a reconstruction.

Even if the days of him playing in the back line or behind the ball are over, if he gets his body right Lindsay could give a lot of cheek down the forward line or in front of the ball.

According to BT, Gilbs will be announcing his retirement soon. Usually I don't believe a lot BT says, but as everyone knows, he's pretty close with Lindsay.
Not surprising he'll retire, but still sad.
