Welcome Josh Gibcus! Happy with this pick!

 

[_RT_]

Wanted Ward, but just as happy to get Gibcus as it means that the backline could well be set for the next decade with Balta and Gibcus intercepting everything.

Welcome Josh

Phwoar look at the leap on him

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

I love that he's quick

**** yeah, go well young man

 

[Grockadoc]

STOKED with this. Was a top 3 and top 5 pick for large portions of the year. Intercept defender like Lever but has an insane leap but can also get a fist in and defend. Him and Balta will be our new Rance and Grimes.

Which numpty set up a jump test there lol.

Great pick. Seems a really solid pick and sets us up for a long time.

Get around him lads!

 

[Bojangles17]

Super talented kid not surprised we got him, my tip is we see him as a key forward , jacks got 12m left , let’s go , good luck gibbo

 

[smasha]

Fills a defender hole we need for the future.

Welcome to the mighty Tigers Josh Gibcus!

 

[Barnzy]

Great pick. Flexibility now to move Balta forward if ever needed.

But two uber athletic, high flying intercept markers in the backline sounds pretty sweet

 

[cairo tiger]

200 game player. has all the tricks. welcome mate.

Really like the pick. Lots of midfield options later and this pick means we don't need to reach and grab a leftover tall.

Looks to play a bit like Aaron Naughton

Tarrant and Gibcus should be solid additions

Always thought Graeme Gellie was well ahead of his time at St Kilda .. turning forwards ingo backs, backs into forwards.
We've adopted his model.

[captain blood 17]

Common sense and great pick. Met a need we got coming up. Stoked.
