Carlton Supporters Club

Its also biased towards those who are actually playing, that is those who don't play cannot get a vote.

I think since Gibbs has been at the club there have been about 4 changes to how we actually vote on the B+F.

Why the changes keep occuring and who is driving them i have no idea.

Really? I've been running the Jim Park for a couple of years now and I haven't made any changes that I can recall?
Or are you referring here to the John Nicholls? THAT has undergone changes that I can recall, including a name change.

This is actually his 10th year in the system and he's finished in the top 10 in our B&F every year except 2015, when he only played 10 games.  The Match Committees over those 9 seasons must have reckoned he was doing what he was asked

DJ..you dont reckon the degree of difficulty in making our top ten every year is reduced as he has played in such a poor team that has been light on for talent?.....Gibbs in cruise mode is still going to be better than a lot of the banana's we have had running around...IMO.

re: His money...JH commented on his money.....from memory he isnt on anything overboard, might have been 500k and a bit [per year but nothing outrageous...not sure if
thats is a reflection on Gibbs worth as viewed by the club at the time or the man himself happy with the club and prepared to take a bit less to help the club.

I'm really enjoying the new Bryce Gibbs regardless of the above and hope he can keep performing....

Good point about the degree of difficulty, even if he made the top 5 in 6 of his 9 completed seasons (Murphy has six top 5 finishes too).  We did make finals in four of those seasons so, at worst, it was in an average team. 

You're right about his pay packet, we have been getting very good value for money from Gibbs (and most of our better players for that matter) and will continue to do so.

I reckon the criticism of Gibbs would virtually disappear if he lost his man bun and acquired a sleeve.

That is suggesting he has played really well until he sported the man bun.
That is crazy.
He has simply never worked as hard as what he has recently.
If he had have, he would be on $750k per year.

When he perform regularly, chases and tackles, he will earn a reputation as a champion.

Don't get me wrong, he is much improved lately and I hope he continues to do the same, but he must be rated on his total output over 8-10 years, not a month.

i'd trade him in a heart beat - for a good trade.....but like others i simply don't see CFC letting him go.

Undoubtedly a very good player - when he wants to be......Bolts may have him firing now but will Gibbs keep it up medium to long term.

Certainly the type of player that could play well into his 30s.
