Universal Love Welcome Sam Gibson :)

[FAITH]

Adelaide has further bolstered its midfield stocks by securing Sam Gibson from North Melbourne.

Gibson joins the Crows in exchange for pick No.91 in this year’s AFL National Draft.

The hard-running wingman finished equal sixth in the Kangaroos’ best and fairest this year.

Gibson hasn’t missed a game since his debut in 2012, and holds the AFL’s active record for consecutive games played (130).

Crows General Manager List Management and Strategy Justin Reid said the 31-year-old had plenty to offer at AFL level.

“Having started his AFL career at 25, Sam is still relatively young in football terms,” Reid said.

“His professionalism and work ethic is well known around the competition and he will add flexibility to our midfield group.

“Sam is excited to continue his career in Adelaide and we look forward to what he will bring to our playing squad.”

Ideally yes, he doesn’t leave the SANFL. But maybe having a guy like this won’t force us to play a one legged Greenwood for example.

Please stop making new Gibson threads

it's okay - I reported myself!

 

[Lawrst]

Not surprised. Called this a while ago as something I'd be happy if we did.

We really are going all in

We didn’t need rockliff but we need this big bodied ball butcher?

Oh well I guess it can’t hurt

 

[Plugger46]

Shocked i think he'll just be a depth player but a professional

 

[Vooligan]

Will be a premiership player for sure.... In the SANFL.

Welcome Sam.

Worst case scenario replaces Thommo in the SANFL as a bit of grunt/leadership

 

[Sanders]

He was available as a delisted free agent though surely?

Doesn't really make a difference, we weren't going to use pick 91 anyway
