Welcome Josh Gibcus

View attachment 16524

Stolen from BoofFooty. Wins a greater percentage of his defensive one-on-ones than Harris Andrews, Ben McKay, Harrison Petty, Brennan Cox, James Sicily, Sam De Koning, Aliir Aliir, Alex Pearce, Robbie Tarrant, Jacob Weitering, Jeremy Howe, Tom Barrass, Luke Ryan. Granted most of them play on the big guns and he's mainly third tall. Still. Not bad for a kid.
Isolate lever. Avoid may. Darcy Moore very impressive too.

I can't even see Lever on that chart now that you mention it, RE. Moore and May will be hard to avoid given they'll be on Lynch. But I think he has a good record against both.

Which means he wins less than 70% of his 1-1s. Not a surprise - brilliant 3rd man in but can be exposed on direct match ups.
 
Others have observed that there was a turning point with Gibcus a couple of weeks ago. Much better attack on the ball.

He can do it. And again. Improver.

Big game for the boy. A strong performance could propel him immensely. Go for your marks when in front boy

I think this game tonight will bring out the best in Gibcus tonight.
He's going to prove to be a big game player in the future ... may as well start tonight.
 
Disastrous game. Has been poor the second half of the season. Shouldn’t have been picked. Fumbled and panicked the whole game. Massive question marks. Should not have been selected.

No question marks at all. Simply a young player horribly out of form. 2 years from now he will be dominating the defensive air like few before him.

Kid and will be a jet but tonight you could see in his hands and in his eyes he didn't want to do anything other than run and spoil. Hyper non relaxed

Was not his day but overall he did more than OK all season long. A full preseason and a bit of bulk should see him in good stead for our future

Doesn’t get much worse than that game. At least it will bring him back to earth after thinking he was king di.k in the juniors. Bulk up and work with Truck and Grimesy to learn how to play the game at a mens level.

Just a kid.
Has serious upside.
No Grimes for a chop out.
I am excited what he can deliver.
I reckon he will be a jet.

But will we still be contending? Will mean nothing if we are fighting for 10th.
The wraps he has are hugely overstated, seen so much panic and nervousness in too many games to be convinced he’s a future AGrader. He was awful tonight, arguably cost us the game.

He never regained his confidence when he was dropped. The season went about 8 games too long for him.
