You're right but i was only including midfielders. KPP usually take longer so i thought i'd get howled down about their age.

Gibbs could have played U/18s last year and would have represented SA if he wasn't playing for us.

Its a fairer comparison to compare him to this years draftees - shows what a gem he really is.

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Choo, yep it's pretty exciting that he played what 21 games of AFL already!! He is an amazing talent and a super kid, give him this and another pre-season and hold on to your pants.
All I can say is don't bother with Bigfooty and SEN (and for that matter any "junk" media editorials). The nuf-nufs from other clubs (and ours) will say anything and eventually they believe it. There's a guy at my work convinced what an error we made with Gibbs, I asked him how many times he'd actually seen him play live and he said once. He's already told me Cothchin is better than Kreuz, I asked if he knew what TAC Cup team they played for he told me Victoria .....Another expert ready for SEN or the H-Sun.

i blame the herald sun for their pissy research, i've lost count of how many times they've written in their paper that gibbsy only played 21 games this year.
