Isn't Sticks, Bryce's godfather?

Might go a long way towards explaining why he continues to hold positions at the club, seemingly beyond question.

Give me one good reason Gibbs will go home? (Mum doesn't count).

His best mate is at Carlton - Tick
His GF has moved to Melbourne - Tick
He is in Melbourne the home of AFL - Tick
He lives in a city that has a culture - Tick (Apologies to my Adelaide friends :lol: )
He is playing with a club soon to be in contention - Tick
He is emerging with a group of stars his own age - Tick
We have the salary cap to pay him what he's worth - Tick

I of course was outlining the worst case scenario, as most lawyers do. :lol:

I'm not worried about your worse case scenario CC.
It's just fear, I keep teling myself, and plus I have my fingers crossed.

Pity his old man is a wanker to the nth degree, he sits and abuses every one of the carlton players while the game is on. Hope Bryce is nothing like his old man.

The only danger as I see it, is if the free agency eventuates in the very near future.
All the more reason to sign Bryce up asap for 2 years with an option.

If 18 possessions in his first final is his lowest point, then not a problem at all for a 20 year old.

That's what we're up against.

Not to mention an Adelaide that will be about to shed 3-4 vets and thereby create significant room.

Sign him up ASAP

Problem is, supporters can make all they "sign him up" calls they want - but don't you think the players themselves (and their managers) aren't acutely aware of both the two incoming teams and the upcoming TV rights deal?

Any self-interested player manager (ie, all of them) would be advising their clients to hold out for as long as possible before re-signing.

I wouldn't have a clue what Gibbsy wants to do, but I wouldn't necessarily assume that just because he hasn't been re-contracted yet, doesn't mean the club isn't very interested in doing so.

:lol:

Perhaps instead of taking a pot shot on a forum, next game go over and introduce yourself and say hi.

I've spoken to Ross numerous times, and never once had he been rude nor have I ever heard him abuse players (be it Glenelg or Carlton)....
