Congrats Sam and wish you well.

 

[Jimms]

according to that press conference, brad scott is engaged as well?

 

[danj]

Good moves, looking forward to seeing what Sam can do in the midfield, here's to a new approach from the Coaches and Players and hopefully another three changes: Thomson, Hanson, McMahon bring 'em in

 

[Joshen]

Has certainly deserved it. All the best to Sam for this week and the rest of the year. He better not be the sub.

Pretty sure he had a girl friend and that's it. So he must've proposed during the break.

 

[Dan]

Congratulations Gibson

 

[King Corey]

Good luck to him. Wasn't my first choice but a mature (not big) player in the midfield with a little bit of run and skill can't hurt.

Who comes out of the rotation for him?

This week I reckon one of Cunners or Macmillan. Basti a chance too.

Cunners more likely.

Basti plays well against GC and needs the confidence IMO.

MacMillan has just been tired and the rest will do him well.

Hope that's the case. He is much better than he has been showing recently.

 

[dirtybird]

Gratz Sam, hope you get plenty of game time and make the most of it.

 

[year of the roo]

Well, we did choose Mullett over him.

So? He should be playing as well. Has a good kick and a solid defensive game.

But nah, let's play him as the sub and then use him forward :stern look

 

[Benno_900]

Hopefully, we don't give Gibbo the vest and dump him when he doesn't perform (like Scott has done with Mullett).

 

[Old Skool]

Congratulations Sam.

History has granted you a magnificent opportunity considering the lack of experienced midfield bodies in our senior side.

Grab this opportunity with both hands and shake **** out of it.

 

[LB2Snake]

Was thinking exactly this as I read through the thread. If this scenario eventuates BS is absolutely battling IMO. Surely we've upgraded him purely for his bigger body, Shirley?

 

[gustev]

Ok, so he's in. Good to see.

He's been racking them up at VFL level.

I'll throw this question onto our main board if no-one gets onto this here.

Has anyone got any specific comments/insights into Sam's disposal efficiency, composure in traffic, and defensive pressure?????


Edit--Also, can he slot em?

 

[RooBoyz24]

Congrats Sam and go out there and hit them hard.

 

[gustev]

I posted this in player watch, and all's quiet over there.

[ShinbonerBaz]

Get him in your DreamTeam.

He's been on my bench since the start of the season

Onya Sam, good luck.

Kicked a beauty on the weekend from the pocket at the MCG.

 

[Shinboner Schem]

Well done Sam.

Good to see he's being thrown straight into the team too!

 

[The Chiefton]

How good would he be feeling right now? to finally achieve his dream, which was all but gone a year or two ago.

Congratulations Sammy, awesome effort to keep persisting like he has.

 

[The Other Dean]

Hopefully, we don't give Gibbo the vest and dump him when he doesn't perform (like Scott has done with Mullett).

You forgot to mention "after making the sub late in the game".

Yep, that'll bug.

(Again.)

He's just as light as some of the kids we have running around. I expect him to do well and wish him the very best but he won't change anything when we play the experienced midfields.

Weight doesn't correlate directly to strength. His core will be stronger that most of our mids, and his ability to run out games will be better. Lets hope he can find the pill.
