Welcome Josh Gibcus

[seven]

Needs a stretch of games in the magoos to further develop.

Myabe a couple of weeks on the sideline and then come back through the VFL

 

[Sintiger]

I find it hard to remember a KPP who in their first year has played all games or close to it. Maybe Ben King at the suns would be one.
Gibbo is barely 19 and we shouldn't underestimate the toll on a kid's body playing against physically bigger and stronger guys every week. It's far more difficult from that perspective for a KPP than a midfielder or flanker.
I have seen enough to know he will be a star defender but equally I am not surprised that he has run out of gas

 

[tigerdell]

Will get a rising star nom this week

 

[thegdog]

Bit more urgency tonight and did ok. Dropped lots of marks

 

[saigon tiger]

Not best 22 at this time.

 

[tha8ball]

Struggled…

 

[thegdog]

Simply must bulk up and work on his speed and ground ball

 

[Feeling Tigerish]

Serious talent. Still finding his feet, and probably tired being his first season

 

[22nd Man]

Was god wth ball in hand. Somehow seems to have lost weight since start of season (or I wasn't looking closely enough)

 

[NZtiger]

He is young and tired no doubt, but seems to be worried about contact when going for his marks. Also, not sure if it will improve with greater bulk but looks really timid on the spoil. If he could sneak a few of Nank’s angry pills he will be real player.

 

[thegdog]

Did anyone see that moment on the wing when he was going backwards in marking contest and he actually put his hands over his head to brace for contact ? Lucky we won and it wasn’t talked about by the commentators

 

[craig]

Probably needs a proper spell, the lad is tired. Its a long season for a colt.

Yeah it wasn’t a great moment.

 

[123cups]

I didn't notice the moment mentioned above, but in other circumstances thought he looked classy and composed under pressure in hostile conditions. But it's a long season for a first year tall

 

[tigersnake]

Probably needs a proper spell, the lad is tired. Its a long season for a colt.

he can have one after the season.

 

[Tigers of Old]

His hands were his strength..now can't hold a mark??? Get back to basics Josh.

 

[rensman]

Noticed that. Thought there was a chance he may have been trying to shield his eyes from the light Towers possibly?

 

[tigertim]

He,ll stay in now Vlastuin is out.

 

[HR]

He stays in, this is valuable learning time. The leadership group will get around him.He is our fast track kid and we will need him to fill positions very soon.
But I think we have broken him this year. He looked timid last night.

Yep saw that, poor bugger probably thought he was a monty to get buried under the incoming n had the horror life flashing before the eyes moment. Not the first n won't be the last to suffer the inglorius flinch, reckon the young fella just had way to much time to realise he wasn't going to get back n create a contest n was caught out in a complete lose lose position.
