Gibbs had a great year when his contract was winding up and we got him at a good rate IMO. There's somethink like 100 players earning 500k and at his best he is easily in the top 50. I didnt see him yesterday though but reverting back to old ways was always a risk. Hopefully he's just warming into the season.
In other news, apparently Murphy was a million dollar player last year (thanks to front loading)
If Everitt keeps his spot he'll get the job, he has speed and strength and if I recall he did OK previously on Buddy for a short period. Everitt might even have a point to prove in this regard!
Everitt is a poor defender (hence he was pulled out of defense and into our F50) and should not be allowed anywhere near our defensive 50.
Levi is a coach killer...he can take 10 marks and you would eb lucky to see 2 goals next to his name, Everitt is everything you say, lazy, just wants easy ball, takes his eyes offf the footy when theri is heat in the area but if you give him 4 marks near goal he will kick three goals....
Levi will stay in the team by default for a while but he has to go..I'd rather see Jaksch developed as a leading FF and McKay as our CHF and have Philips or Gorrings as the 2nd ruckman....
Everitt will be traded out IMO at seasons end....
They used to say SOS had to kick 6 goals as a forward to make up for the defensive effort you lost by taking him out of the backline.
Reckon Everitt is thr same equation but backwards. He needs to kick 3-4 goals to make up for the softness he brings to the team.
