Win this reasonably and we're top.
Lose and we're back in the pack.
Has become a massive game, but we should be able to win comfortably.

No, the Monday night game earlier in the year, when Walker kicked the late goal to get us over the line.

Seriously club 29 your flower deluded. There are no cheap possessions the way Gibbs plays. Crap.
You and your cronies on this site need a reality check. Must admit I have had a couple of reds so the truth juice is working. I wasnt going to argue about how Gibbs' roll is different to anyone loose man defence roll. Agree he reads it well. Agree he pinpoints most kicks. But number one picks need to do more.
I am sure a lot of aints fans would be disappointed with Goddard's roll at the moment. Similar to Gibbs. Compare that to the 2010 Grannie. Goddard has gone backwards. Must be thinking about the millions he is going to earn in Bankstown next year
I am sure you, Kouta and you other one eyed blinker mate the cazzman would agree with that because Goddard doesnt play for Carlton.

It is for old Can Eater though - if he could he'd have 22 Bret Thornton's running around for us.

Look, it's not a nice thing when players get dropped without playing a stinker, but it's just something you have to get used to as the team gets stronger. Much rather dropping players in form than promoting players who are out of it. Nice luxury to have!

Maybe BT might help the NB out of their current rut

Your opinion means as little as the supporters who have jeered our players and booed at half time last week. Only to start supporting a first gamer to show themselves as a bunch of fickle wankstains.

I hope you taught Phys Ed/Art and not English.

All games are important but this is now huge. Win and we are on top. Lose and we are back in the pack somewhat.

In terms of the top 4 race and the rise of some unexpected sides, a win on Monday is paramount.

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

See your problem is you attack the man not the ball.
For a number one pick with such humongus raps on him Gibbs has IMO been a disappointment.
What do you think of Goddard at the moment. Answer that one
All you guys do in just attack the poster.
Tell me oh wise one how has Gibbs been different to Mattner, Suckling. Hurn etc. Answer that one
As for what I do for the job if it really bothers you I can send a PM with the Principal's phone number and she can tell you I aint a moron.
Anyway since the inference I gain from your posts is your football knowledge is far superior to me answer those two questions.

Garbage. IIRC, Hodge played back to win the Norm Smith. Not soft. Like Gibbs, Yarran plays back because we need him there for his skill, vision and leadership.

Correct me if I am wrong but I'm not sure if being picked at #1 was Gibbo's call. But perhaps that is just my truth juice kicking in as well. I'm not entirely sure that the fine print in being selected as a #1 stipulates you have to be an onballer.

Agree but I reckon it stipulates you have more influence on games past the centre line and you step up when the chips are down. Gibbs was exposed for hardness by a bunch of kids last week. He has had 6 years in the gym.

There's no denying Gibbs is soft........

That was pretty much the whole team last week. Shouldn't be picking out only one player.

I can understand your disappointment in Gibbs, although personally I think he has been good.
Hopefully when we get Yarran and Laidler back, other players stand up (wether it be Russell, Laidler, Tuohy, Bower) and Gibbs can go into a half-forward/mid rotation where I think he plays his best footy.

Currently he is playing the half back role for the team.

A football club is like a bag of mixed lollies, some are hard, some are soft, some sour & some even bitter, but if you wanted a jar of hard boiled lollies ala Robbo, you'd soon get sick of them & everyone would know exactly what you tasted like!

Some of the AFL's greatest players were so called soft...if u ask me anyone who plays afl ain't soft & every player has a role the player! BG is the best at Carlton at whatever it is he has to do.

I hope Keogh isn't an English teacher.
Pretty sure Gibbs' "roll" is that doughy thing filled with chicken and salad that he has for lunch.

I would have thought a #1 should play 200+ AFL games and far more good games than bad. He should contribute to the success of the team as a whole, in the role he is assigned. How many of his 118 games since joining Carlton as a 17yr old have been bad?

So he's not a wrecking ball and/or a kamikaze. Big deal. I'd rather he play 25 games a year as he is then 12 because he has his face smashed to bits doing something reckless like J Brown or J Hird.

Gibbs is not soft.

Bunch of keyboard warriors out at the moment.

I'm denying it.
He may not be Robbo, but he goes when it's his turn.

Gibbs` form in the second half of last season was excellent. He might just be one of those players that builds throughout the year. I think he could be a big Finals performer.
