Euphoric get !!!

thats what happens when youre players dont come along in development.. every small victory becomes Amazingly mega huge.
What we swapped for Laidler is about his worth right now.

But we have buggered up a hell of alot of others.

So its %

Yep, and every rookie who plays a senior game is great recruiting. It's a crippling mindset.

Cos only a dropkick really believes Gibbs is no good.. and a new coach would go a long way to prove that.

Thats what a shit coach does to a list.. including Gibbs. He squashes him.

Noone can tell me Gibbs is shit.
Everyone can tell me he is playing shit.

There IS a differerence!!!

Oh and why is Laidler ok?
Answer is he didnt come out of the Carlton system.

Didnt learn his craft at this club.
Wasnt identified by this club originally.
Wasnt recruited by this club and is only here cos they had more like him and he couldnt bust in.

With us he is a beacon!!!..... but he actually isnt one of the finest defenders all round in the game.
Just a good solid footy player we hope can improve more.

Says alot..

Tell you what, some of these blokes aren't exactly pushing their values skyward with their performances.

Just to troll you and keogh.

You could propose swapping Gibbs for another Adelaide player who is uncontracted, but doesn't want to come back to Victoria. Think Sloane is the flavour of the month for June. Then once it turns into a 50-50 trade, you can bitch about him leaving like Grigg. A player who has suckered everyone into thinking he's irreplaceable and has improved.

Gibbs is a natural footballer thats why you keep him.

Ive been bashing him as much as anyone lately, but I still want him at Carltin.
