Great article...

From the sounds of his dad and upbringing I am even more impressed...

As they say in the classics...

I think we've got a live one

Talk about a couple of lucky turns,

My hands are just rubbing together, and the smile is from ear to ear.....

I reckon Gibbs Snr is the sort of bloke we need mentoring some of the kids at the club.

Both Gibbs' seem like quality people.

His dad looks very young & fit

Any chance the son/father rule?

Was terrific in the final intraclub match, but is yet to show all that much in the slightly more 'real' stuff. Kind of good in a way, because once he settles a bit more, there should be a whole lot more genuine footy pleasure to come.

Do you think it would be a good idea to leave him out for the first few rounds to ease the pressure and expectations that have been put on him?

I was happy with Gibbsy. Everything he did was class.
He looks polished and like Murph is very team orientated.

Keep playing him.

As a matter of fact id be playing him in the forward line instead of Lance.

You'd be playing Prenda instead of Lance!

Great article and liked the fact that his old man tagged him with a teammate and gave him rules that he wasn't allowed to kick and handball it off, but my favorite quote was this...

Prenda can run and contest instead of just acting the statue.
Plus he is a fantastic rolemodel and was a great trainer...

So youre probably right.

"Noone will ever know how much those draft picks hurt us"

"Noone really knows what Lance is going through"...
Wanna see the bloke contest .. run.. jump and show some kind of leadership instead of being 'Mr Ineffective'
The game has just become faster and Lance is in deeper poo poo...

I reckon DP has Bryce firmly wrapped up in cotton wool at the moment.

Gibbs is a gun.

Thank f$#@

I remember back to when I was a kid, and for some reason (that none of my rely's could work out) I idolised this young bloke from West Perth - Ross Gibbs.
They couldn't work out why I was so interested in a West Perth player because I was an East Perth supporter like my dad. I still hated West Perth, I just thought Gibbs was an excellent player.
It is like a young Melbournian Carlton supporter saying I like Nathan Buckley!

Well folks, if Bryce leaves his ol' man for dead like they say he does, then strap yourselves in for the ride!
We're in for some great football for many years.

Was at a trivia night with some other TCers last year & we named our team GIBBS (guess whose idea )

The guy hosting the comp asked us, 'as in Bryce?' & we got chatting to him, turned out he'd seen Ross play & said he was one of the best footy players he'd seen.

I don't know why he never played AFL, work/family reasons I guess.
He was one of the best WA/SA players from that era never to play VFL.
Stephen Michael was probably the only one that I could think of that was better. (Dual Sandover Medallist, Simpson Medallist, etc).
Gibbs snr's ability to read the play was A1.

i remember reading somewhere that ross gibbs said himself that he never really worked hard enough for his football.
