Welcome Josh Gibcus

Agree. Lever is not a one on one shut down defender like Gibcus has demonstrated to be if required.

The best comparison I see to Gibcus is Darcy Moore, yet none of the so called experts have mentioned it.

Twomey mentions Lever and then everyone just jumps on the bandwagon

Exactly what I said last night. He will be our Darcy Moore.

Reckon the club is going to have a decent crack at turning him into a forward. Coaches will split his time training with the forwards and backs during pre-season. He’ll then find himself playing a quarter here and there in practice matches up forward. Finally, he’ll line up at full forward in his first VFL match for “team balance”, he’ll kick 4 and never spend another minute in defense again.

The NIB logo doesn't look too bad in that video clip. Maybe we should play all our games at night with half the lights out.

Same here TT.
Must admit though I was a bit underwhelmed by his interview after being selected.
Did not appear that excited and thought he sounded a bit cocky.
Maybe that is a good thing, but time will tell if he lives up to his own hype.

Gibcus’ first words were literally “it’s unreal, overwhelmed with emotion”.

Were you expecting him to burst into tears or do an an impromptu rendition of ‘Celebration’ by Kool and the Gang?

I hate the comparisons with Jake Lever.

Just because I hate Jake Lever.

we should have done our due diligence and hired Towner for an hour to try and shake the *smile* out of him.

On a side note - noticed that when Gibcus was presented with his guernsey that Balmey looks to have dropped a few kegs.

Not as good as Heppell and another Essendon player rocking up at the London Tavern to welcome Hobbs personally.

Lynch and others reside in Richmond so you think something similar could have been organized.

Heppell and some others? Pfft probably there trying to steal some beers.

We sent Big Balmey down who personally presented him with his jumper.
