Welcome Josh Gibcus
- Thread starter Smoking Aces
- Start date
Yep that's the words Josey. Playing with authority early and now hesitant. Spot on.
Watched him carefully last night and he seemed unsure on a few plays. Not a worry at all but just interesting how his confidence seems to have left him a little.
Sounds like he needs a rest, and nothing wrong with that, he's a first year player. Balta out makes this difficult, but Miller playing well in the VFL gives us an option. I would say a week off, a week in the VFL and back to seniors. Meanwhile we see what Miller can do, the WCE forward line would be a good challenge for Miller, let's have a look and give Gibcus a break while we are at it.

The lad had a bad game but we have been asking to much from him playing against battle hardened big men all season and the effort is starting to tell. Give him a break and he will be back. He needs managing this season and if he bulks up a bit he will be so dangerous next season. He is part of our future
Don't play him again this season.
Sides know all they have to do is getting him one on one.
Get him in the gym.

If Tarrant has taken no damage from last week it’s probably the ideal time to give him another run at it.
Yep.
Gibcus has had a great year but is tiring.
He could be a swingman weapon in time. But has clearly never trained or played forward. Absolutely lost when he gets an AFL defender for an opponent.
Bauer is actually a forward.
While Gibcus is a better prospect, athlete and investment, Bauer is also all of those things and knows how to play forward.
Our side would be better with a good forward, than a potential one.
True, but he's only trained with the club for three weeks n played two games of footy, he didn't get a pre season with the club n he's still trying to remember his team mates names. Competes well n stays in the contests, managed some clever assist work as well. Simply needs the games this year n a full pre season to set himself up for a proper crack at seniors.
Gibcus is lucky to have a game this week as he is clearly tired which is no surprising considering he is still young, relatively inexperienced and been up against experienced opponents week in week out. A break form footy for a couple of weeks should revitalise him
Would have been a perfect opportunity to rest him given that Kennedy is out.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Yep. Why are we playing around with Miller?? Should be given a chance again.
Agree , I don’t think losing a contest does him any harm , he goes just as hard at the next one , does not drop his head
