Yep tearing the VFL a new ahole and can't crack a game with our poor performances.
He could have the same impact as Barlow and Magner if given the opportunity.

Does he need to be elevated though?

Gibson to debut


North Melbourne coach Brad Scott has confirmed rookie Sam Gibson will be promoted to the senior list and play against the Gold Coast Suns on Saturday night.

Gibson has played nine games in the VFL for Werribee this season and racked up 40-possessions and kicked three goals in a stand-out match against Geelong earlier in the year.

The 26 year-old was a regular in the Kangaroos' line-up during the NAB Cup and will become Shinboner 972 when he takes the field for the first time at AFL level.

Fantastic news for Sam and the club, shows what can happen with when players persist. Very excited to see Gibbo in action on Saturday, definitely adds a bigger body to our midfield, and hopefully takes the strain off Jack, Ben and a couple of our younger midfields, who can now take the responsibilities of normal 20 year olds at senior level.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Great news for Sam and hopefully he plays a blinder. He won't cop the tag he does at VFL level so should get plenty of the pill and his physical maturity will certainly be a bonus to the team.

Congratulations Shinboner.

EDIT: About time, etc.

But seriously congratulations to him and hopefully proves to be a great choice

 

[Wild Kangaroo]

Awesome, been waiting for when he would make his debut, Congratulations Sam Gibson.

 

[GreatBradScott]

As one of the players sponsored by this board at the start of the year, it's great to see he's getting a crack.

Sam's a real top bloke, fortunate to chat to him at the Season Launch.

All the best.

It is About Time that the NMFC Hierarchy promoted Slamming Sam Gibson. Just watch him carve up the Gold Coast.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Great news for Gibbo, and for us. He's certainly earnt his shot and I wish him well for Saturday night. A bit of maturity in our midfield mix is badly needed. Go get 'em Gibbo!
