I really haven't noticed much of Gibson except when he's been tagging Sloane.
Douglas makes sense to me and I've said I think he's in line for Smith's spot before trade period. I do worry though that he doesn't have enough penetration on his kick to break zones. Ditto Milera. Gibbs makes sense but I'm sure we recruited him for midfield duties. Gonna be interesting
It would not surprise me at all if Douglas is slotted into that HB role as a stop gap for Smith.
Quite frankly I think Gibsons been drafted for depth as much as anything. Plus it wouldn't surprise if we're keen to bring Gibson in as a development coach. I think we struggle to attract assistant coaches from interstate, so our best bet is to identify them early and bring them in for cheap as a player and once they're here, they're more likely to stay for a bit.
From what I've learned about him thus far, very much sounds like a coach in waiting type. At the very least would set a great example for our younger players about professionalism. I'm also a big fan of having a few experienced heads in our SANFL side to assist with the development of our young 1st/2nd year players. No good having a reserves side if we get pummeled every week by bigger bodied SANFL sides.

I really rated Shirley. Didn’t Judd say he was the most difficult to play against?

“We've gone against our pressure a lot in training, so when we came up against the Crows, I had a bit more time than usual," Shane Edwards said after Richmond's historic flag win on Saturday.

maybe benny hart isnt as silly as he seems on Footy SA with Kornes? No leadership on the HBF is an issue for mine despite our defence on paper doing quite well. I personally think it will be gibbs/seedsman but will be interesting to see if gibson takes the role. as mentioned he is a smart cookie.
Be good for Brodie to add that to his skillset whilst he is out for the year.
Yes he did.

how many times did smith line up on the wing?
A quiet plausible scenario would be for Seedsman, Hampton or another similar player to take Smith's half back role and Gibson play on a wing.
Isn’t the knock on him his leg? The exact opposite of Smith.
If we play him on the wing, he adds another hard player around the contest, which Atkins, Seedsman and Milera aren’t. He can tag which he can’t do at half back.
It also hopefully gives a year for Milera to play half back, become harder and more defensive and then unleash him to the wing in 2019 when Smith returns.
Not much
Pykey was keen to move Fouglas to HB this year however ended using Douglas to plug gaps in the midfield
I expect Douglas will do another pre-season with the defenders and will make that move to HB and pick up Smith's role and this will allow Gibson to take Douggues role in the midfield

Who can tell these days ? ......the players are constantly changing thru games .....it's like saying which mid was playing on which opposition mid ? ......the fact they stand next to each other at a centre bounce means very little

i thought he did
agree with his kick being below average, you see it on the stats disite having close in overall disposals to by average gibson hardly kicks the ball where smith hardly handballs

Milera's hardness is underrated ......he's a 2nd year player thats building his body & tank .....i saw little evidence that he avoided going in to a contest, but i did with Atkins
The Knock on Gibson early was his leg ......IMO that tag often sticks with a player even after he improves that weakness .......Jake Kelly was bad, Burton was horrid ......but they both improved, but will never be considered as great kicks
If Gibsons kicking was that bad, he wouldn't have played 130 consecutive games, inc Finals
As far as random crows mature age recruits from Victorian clubs goes where does he rate compared to the likes of his esteemed forefathers

I also see Douglas heading back to HBF to cover for Smith. He was pencilled in to play there this year but our need for him in the midfield was greater.
This is what I think is being considered hence bringing in Gibson to fill in for Douglas in the midfield and adding Gibbs as a cherry on top.
