The hate for Gibbs here is astonishing, I wish we had another half a dozen as good as him.

Yeah but you said exactly the same thing about Nick Stevens.

Same as Gibbs really, a standout player in a crappy side who pissed off supporters take their frustrations out on.

Senior experienced blokes like Gibbs, Murphy, Everitt, Jamo, Simpson, Rowe et al should be taking games by the scruff of the neck and bringing the young kids with them. Not one of those blokes is capable of doing it. Murphy maybe if he rekindled some of the early career form. The rest, pfffft.

When you're outnumbered in the quality stakes people can often take it out on the better players or existing players.

"Get rid of ....... " "he's crap"
".... Is soft "

I do it as well

The problem is there is no one else yet because they are not ready or they don't exist. If our recruiters and past coaches had done their jobs properly we'd have better players to choose from and that helps everyone and makes everyone look a bit better.

Take out Parker and Hannebery and I guarantee that Kieran Jack and Tom Mitchell don't look like the world beaters they looked yesterday. Jack has struggled in the past when he's had to carry the load and Tom Michells ability to cover bigger players gets exposed.

This is the list we have and we can bitch and moan till the cows come home but we can't change anything till draft/trade time.

The best we can hope for going forward is some improvement in existing players, better application of the game plan and development of the kids and culture.

We are 2 games into the rebuild .

Classy skilled player, unwilling or unable to put his body on the line when it matters. Stevens was just as weak overhead too.

Maybe, maybe not, but at least they can hit a target which puts them head and shoulders ahead of three quarters of our team.
Realistically we have about half a dozen players who would get a game at a top four side and Gibbs is one of them.

Gibbs does not hit targets when under pressure. Jason Tutt can hit a target when clear.
