Great read about what influence Fev has had on the young blokes which goes unnoticed.

Wasn't happy to hear the bronx cheers go up when Fev marked the ball in the last quarter against adelaide. If he'd had his kicking boots on he could have kicked 4 goals instead of 1.3. Ratts did mention before the game that Fev would only get 4-5 opportunities against the Crows .. so going by his score he did get 4 opportunities. I guess there were 2-3 times where he could have laid it to team mates better .. but he is very important for our club in more ways than one.

that article makes me worried gibbs could do to us what judd did to west coast. i'm 95% sure he won't leave us but why didn't he take the 3-year deal? what's he going to do if fev goes? if we win a premiership, is he going to leave straight away??

young lad living interstate gets called to interstate by another club and is not in familiar territory not knowing anyone and has to find his feet in a new state and new football club and ind new team mates he hasnt met before...

i can understand gibbs moving interstate for the very first time when i was younger making the move to a new state was'snt the easiest thing specially in a state you know very little about and not knowing anyone...

right from the time you think about leaving home for the first time and living interstate you think about if it doesnt work out and a homesick will i be able to come home straight away...

if gibbs didnt enjoy being in melbourne and he had to sit the 3 year contract out it might not have done himself, the club, and the members any good...ya heart just wouldnt be there...


at least we know we have gibbs till 2010 now and he is perfectly happy now in his new enviroment....


cheers

I think the 3 year deal was his initial contract. He's just signed an extension to that to keep him here until 2010.

The biggest things out of the article were

BV explained when Gibbs re-signed why he didn't take a longer deal.

i hope you're right, reading over it again it sounds as if we offered him 3 when he first came to carlton but he only wanted 2. in that case, i think it's more likely that he wants to spend the rest of his career at the blues.

Maybe its just me but i dont think that Bryce Gibbs looks all that interested out on the field.

He wont play his full career at Carlton.

Even if he leaves, we'll get handy compensation. I highly doubt he will want to screw us over and enter the PSD.

They are putting allot of time and development in to Bryce. Just wait till his body matures..... he will be a champ!!

no doubt about that melvey, but here's hoping he's a champ for carlton and not another team.

And i get named 'chicken little' on this site. geez!!!

He has extended his contract so what's with all the hype about him leaving.

Why would he sign a 3 year deal when this club was a rabble a mess. Even if i was from victoria i wouldn't have signed a 3 year deal where this club was at.

He now has committed to this club further and we should be appreciative of that.

GO BRYCEY!!

Cross that bridge if we get there. Would be more than happy if that problem eventuates!

Bryce Gibbs is destined for greatness at Carlton.

He will arrive as an elite player during the year when we first get into the finals again - and be a pivotal part of the finals success that we enjoy at that time.

Thiese experiences will make Bryce feel that Calton is indeed his true football home away from his birth home is SA.

We are neglecting the REAL issue, what happens if Jordon Russell decides he wants to return home?

The new cafe at the PP development will get a pair of new steak knives... only kidding. JR did well

If Jordan Russell returns home, then it will be as the result of him being wanting to go and then being offered up as a trade.

That trade will be a very good one for Carlton, probably a key defender or a player soon to develop into a key defender.

Its really up to Jordan though..
