Which one do you reckon will become your favourite?
Whose number will be on your back?

All things being equal they both look like being champs but their differences are already becoming as interesting as their similarities.

Both gutsy and courageous. Murph will look like hes been in a battle and Gibbsy will look like he's been on the dancefloor with hardly a hair out of place.

Murph is all class and with a bit of mongrel. Run to his opponent and then bash through him because he loves it that way conjures up thoughts of Ashman or Johnno
Gibbs is as much class but reminds me more of Motley and Marcou and Rhysy. Can run through an opponent as easily but often will bamboozle them and just run through the same space like a ghost. Murph leaves em bruised. Gibbs leaves em bewildered shakin their heads. And then they will both do the opposite and leave us shakin our heads in wonder.

What do you reckon?

Can't split them.... don't want to. I'm just so glad we have both of them.

We should get rid of the older one. Kids are the future.

Like trying to choose between Chicken Parma's and kebabs. Both have their place.

Murphy & Gibbs Vs Every other team... that's how i see it :)


Different players... but i can see myself liking Gibbs more in the future, only just though.

At the moment i'm liking that number 2 pick we got a couple of years ago more than both :)

Murph will kick the ball to a lead but the ball might spin weridly float a little but in the end hits the target perfectly...just weights his kicks beautifully...

Gibbs..well i dont think you'll ever find one of his kicks not spinning exactly the correct amount of rotations it should. Again hits target in the end...

WHo's better...geez what do i care as long as both there kicks are hitting Brendan on the tit...couldn't give a rats clacker!

... oh and I think Murphy will win a B&F first. And possibly 3 or more of them. Gibbs 2 and Walker 2!

Murphy at the moment but in a couple of years I believe Gibbs will be my favorite I also believe he is a born leader ad will be a great captain. Dont rush giving it to Murphy lets wait for Gibbs.

I reckon walker

he is that size, with that pace and leap that he could potentially be what kouta was and more

who will match up on him in the future, he will be unstoppable

Havent seen enough of Gibbs to make a true judgement just yet...
However, 15 kicks and 3 handballs in just your second game wasnt a bad performance by Gibbs dont you think 8)

If not for injuries... Kouta would ve been a Brownlow Medalist and an immortal of the game... I still shake my head in disbelief at his 2000 form and am greatful I lived to see such spectacular / dominant / brilliant performances (they will be talked about around Carlton for generations to come). When we were down and out, you just knew Kouta would crack the sh*ts and come out the next quarter and get something like 8 kicks 6 marks 8 handballs and 3 goals.

Yeah, nah, Gibbs I like and Murphy I like. On my basketball jersey I chose 4, but that's because you're not allowed 1 to 3. Still, I'm very satisfied with what I've got and what we've got.
