Gibbs, trade him and get his inconsistent efforts out the door. He is a major part of all our false sense of what was achievable success.
He talks the talk but plays like a fairy in the middle. He is a good player with ball in hand when he is in space but midfield is not his go, that would require desire to be the best, motivation to be the best and ruthless aggression. He is good outside player that it play him off half back all in the forward line and then see what he is worth.
Sloane is not more talented than Gibbs but is a genuine ball player and what he lacks in talent he makes up for with utter desire and determination.
Gibbs sucked us all in by winning the BnF last year and stuck us with a huge 5 year contract.
Trade him to Port he'll add value to them, the less accountable he is the better he'll play they have a lot of great players his importance will not be as heavily reliant as he needs to be for us to be a successful side.
Get Ollie Wines in the swap and start building with somebody who gives effort 100 percent of the time.
Watch how Gibbs jogs backwards once the ball slightly passes him he plays with zero intensity and it creeps through the side when he is last year best and fairest.
Thomas is a big loss because his tackling and effort is infectious, Gibbs has never inspired by his effort, sublime talent but not the talent that will get us where we need to be.
I hope he proves me wrong.
I am with you, he has the most currency and his b & f win last year means nothing.
For the right trade ie both Crouch brothers, he should go.
I can't imagine Gibbs inspiring much of anything.
