Definitely a wonderful goal, like the greats always do they somehow always tend to do the difficult things brilliantly while making it look much easier than it looks, that mark imo is top 5 greatest off all time...

Next up we have Stephen Kernahan vs Bryce Gibbs.
Sticks enters the competition here as the 4th seed, whilst Gibbs just squeaked past Docherty to take his place in the second round.
Sensing this one may go similarly to the way a few others have in this second round, but vote away regardless.
Who are you voting for and why?

Sticks reached his potential as a player.
Gibbs was a good player but fell short of out and out champion.
Sticks gets this one.

sticks.
gibbs was a very talented player. the only knock i would have on him is lack of consistency although last 2 seasons before leaving to crows were very very good. think he could have done more with his career but we were partly to blame for that.

Sticks - 730 goals, markologist and a great leader. Champion.
Gibbs - 18yo put into a leadership group of Lance, Fev, Stevens. Kid never had a chance. Had a good career. In other circs i think it's a near certainty he has a great career.
Sticks wins of course.

Sticks.
A potent CHF and in later years FF.
A fantastic mark, a wonderful leader. Dual premiership captain.
An excellent proponent of kicking the ball so it looked like it was caught up in a hurricane yet somehow went through for a goal.
To think if he'd come over earlier he might have kicked 1000 goals for Carlton or near enough.
On the Carlton Mount Rushmore...
Gibbs didn't quite live up to his potential but still gave us a decade of good B+ footy with bursts of elite patches. A very good career, but nothing on the ultimate #4.

it's why livo had to leave.......
I love both these players.
Sticks wins.
I remember the first time I fell in love with Sticks. It was the 1985 SANFL GF. Glenelg won the premiership and he was instrumental in that victory. I think they played North Adelaide (I CBF’d looking it up). Early in the game Sticks took front position for a marking contest and received a vigorous ear massage. He displayed experience beyond his years when he chose to take a defender’s position in a marking contest later in the match and delivered a KO rather than an ear massage. At Carlton he was never a dirty player and I put it down to this incident. He was a man who played fairly and it was best that you played that way against him.
Stig O'Hara is right. We’ve never seen a better contested mark in a Carlton jumper. He ended up kicking 738 goals for Carlton. Overall he kicked 1028 when you add his goals for The Bays (I haven’t added in the 10 he got against Doully in the State of Origin). Probably close to half of those from CHF. The mind boggles at those numbers.
Bryce, like so many of our recent players, suffers from the lack of success that the club has experienced post 2000. Throw in a couple of flags and he’s a great of the club. It’s still a record that stands up. 231 games in 11 seasons and a John Nicholls in 2014. He was a versatile player who went back and then forward before we finally decided he could run through the middle. I’ll never forget that interview after he was traded to the Cows. He didn’t know what to feel. His quavering voice gave us the depth of his love for Carlton. In hindsight, his career was over when he went back to Adelaide. He’s been shithouse in a Crows jumper.

Sticks is the best player I've consistently seen over the course of my life time at Carlton. Not my favorite but the best by some margin over the number of seasons and games I was able to attend. Diesel the most skillful, Sticks still the best.
There is nothing Sticks wouldn't do for the club on and off the field. One of the best clubmen and leaders ever.
Gibbs bled for the guernsey but needed a better culture when he arrived to the club than he got. I feel comfortable in suggesting that had it been there from day one he would have been a Brownlow medalist. Alas, it wasn't to be. Yet it's clear he loved the club and his mates.
Sticks for me.

Only because of his singing skills....otherwise a close call

Sticks all the way. An inspirational leader of a team of champions. A man for the occasion. Brilliant contested mark.
Gibbs was a very talented player with great versatility. Did some great work minding some champions and across half back. Became a clearance player with us late. A polished player, but not particularly physical to his detriment.
Kernahan wins this one quite well.

love a famous moment seen from another angle - a split second later and not the grace of the back shot - jerka showing typical dirty collingwood tactics......
..........one crumb serge was never gonna get........crosswell thinking 'pay that'........
It took a while to get Sticks to Carlton, but once he got there he became Carlton. Great mark, great leader and great man.
Poor Bryce, came in at a bad time, i remember when they were trying to teach him as a youngster by playing him on the oppositions best player every week. I just wonder what could have been.
Sticks by heaps.
