The Oxygen Brothers

[Styxx]

We got so lucky with Gibbons, it makes you wonder why it took this long for him to get a chance!

What you see is what you get, and what you get is effort, effort, effort!

They all thought he was too short to make it.

Jean Michele Jarre had a tune called oxygene which became the soundtrack to the running sequence in the movie gallipoli

What Gibbons is doing with half an AFL pre-season is fantastic.

Ran 600m more than any other player yesterday.

Sign the man up.

That is some sort of effort from Gibbons.

Sure beats the *en brothers of the early to mid 2000’s...

If Ed, Gibbo, Walsh and O'Brien are the Oxygen Brothers...


...then this guy is the Oxygen Father



He'll add more boys to the family before long.

Just for you Eskie.....

In my view we have two competitive advantages: our key position players.....and the Oxygen Brothers.

I’ve studied the running times of our boys preseason and compared them to those (available) of other clubs. We have a larger number of guys who can really gut run than other clubs. They are not electric quick, but they can just repeat run over and over again.

The offical Oxygen Brothers are:

- Ed Curnow (Captain)
- Michael Gibbons (Vice Captain because he knocked Ed off in a preseason run)
- Sam Walsh
- Lochie O’Brien

All four can run 2km in 6 mins. I don’t know of any other club who has a midfield capable of that running quality. Murph isn’t in the middle distance running class of the above but he gets an Honourable membership this year. His preseason was the best I’ve seen in years and he really does help our link up play with his hard running.

Cottrell btw will be a member if he can break into the side next year - he’s also a sub 6 min for 2km runner. Technically Charlie is as good a runner as the offical brothers but he doesn’t join link up play nor play mid so I never gave him a membership.

The Oxygen Brothers are why as games open up our link up play cuts teams open. They just can’t go with our guys.

Enjoy them as I do. I look for them to create chains especially in the second half. Throw a surgical Fisher (not a member but puts polish on their work) into their chain and it makes a mess of opposing backlines.

How does Murph and Daisy fair?

Love is like oxygen

I think we need to formalise the requirements to be part of the brethren. (So we can add deserving players)

6min 2k?

Cottrell a big chance

 

[Fat Kent]

This thread. I can't breathe.

Cottrell a big chance

Getting some Kamdyn McIntosh vibes from Cottrell.

Reckon he'll quietly plug away in the VFL for a bit, then one day he'll get a chance to play senior footy and will go absolute ham on the GPS and make a few of his teammates nervous for their spots.

Agree, think he could be that small defender/attacking rebounder many have been yearning

 

[Stefchook]

It's good Cottrell's getting a go (and prospering) as a running/rebounding defender at VFL level. It could be a real need for us. With Simmo and Thomas long in the tooth. And no guarantees with Docherty and Williamson.

Not members. Murphy is ‘ok’. Dale is middle of the road endurance.

Always thought that Murph had been one of our best "gut runners"

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

If he has another pre season like last one, and can stay injury free, there'll be another to add to the list. Not going to mention any names though....

 

[Gethelred]

Probably worth a revival, considering the further restriction of the interchange cap.

How many have we got now? Might need an update from the one, the only, the amazing, the partially transparent...

You saying that he is stayn glass?

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Thought this thread was about Kane and Chad Cornes, but I guess it would be called the oxygen thief brothers (sorry Chad, guilty by association).
