Cotchin v Gibbs

[W. Smithers]

One is an elite user of the ball, the other is a tagger.

If Carlton had of picked correctly and gotten Joel Selwood then we could have a decent comparison.

Gibbs made Deledio and Cotchin look second rate late last year at the G.

Gibbs did a good tagging job that day.

Cotchin made Murphy look 3rd rate.

IMO Murphy is 3rd rate but thats got nothing to do with Gibbs

 

[Gozz]

So Cotchin has played like 2 matches that have got over 20 possessions. He has achieved a fair bit.

That and he hasn't packed his dacks when a midget forward pocket runs at him.

gibbs by a LOOONG way. the fact that a carlton player is actually close in a poll indicates how good he is.

gibbs is better than cotchin at every aspect of the game. while cotchin will become one of the greates of his era, gibbs will become a legend of modern history.

 

[BuddyBewdy]

i really rate cotchin but there's something about gibbs that just makes me think he'll be something really really special. barring injuries, i can see him dominating the comp in a few years time but only time will tell.

 

[kreuze control]

agreed, gibbs will be in his own class in a couple of years.

 

[BLUE BLEEDING]

i know no-one will pay attention to this cause i'm carlton but gibbs is going to be the next nathan buckly.

haven't seen much of cotchin.

 

[DemonErrol1964 - dees]

I'll go Gibbs as he is more seasoned.

Clutching mate?

There's no need to insult in order to win this argument. This isn;t bay 13.

Gibbs is better ATM but who knows who will be the greater once there careers are over. Makes for great viewing.

 

[Kyusss]

cotchin already

 

[qldbluesman_43]

so pretty much what you're saying is ,
Carlton vote Gibbs
Richmond vote Cotchin
Everyone else votes both

They're both superstars already and in a couple years will be the next Ablett and Judd (well in addition to those two)
But of course i voted Gibbs i'm a carlton supporter

 

[Monkeyboy]

Tough comparison.

I think we can all just be happy that we have players like Gibbs, Cotchin, Murphy, Selwood, Grigg and Kreuzer coming through.

 

[BluesMan]

gibbs now, 3 years time cotchin probably, but gibbs will be a damn good player...

oh dear, can you please stop typing with one hand.
You just look like a complete moron with statements like that

But if the shoe fits....

You need look no further than the Carlton vs. Richmond game late in the season to see just how good Gibbs is and will be. He made your mob, Deledio and Cotchin included, look like chopped liver.

 

[Heisenberg_]

He was actually moved off of Deledio because Deledio got to, much of the ball.
Regardless of that, claiming a 19 year old who has shown some good form, but nothing that brilliant, will become a legend of modern history.
Thats just makes you look like an absolute ********

well lets see

cotchin is faster, has a bigger engine, is more skillfull and is harder at the ball, and more capable of winning his own ball than Gibbs.

Other than that Gibbs is better

can all the one-eyed supporters read this post again.

how can u compare both players without a platform?

no one cares whos better, as long as ur happy they are playing for your team.

Two words...Tambling, Franklin!

Yet, Gibbs tends to win more of the ball! Go figure!

FWIW, Gibbs purely because he is more versatile, having said that, would take Cotchin a heartbeat.

gibbs is probably quicker, i doubt cotchin can run 20m in 2.92 sec as gibbs did this summer.

cotchin does not have a bigger engine, how can he when he hasn't even hada pre-season yet and gibbs has had 2.

both are very skilful however i think gibbs is mroe skilful as he has that added ability to kick 60m bullets that cotchin will never have.

gibbs is also harder at the ball. in a pack situation, gibbs is extremely hard at the ball and constanstly leaves his body open to be smashed. just because of one incident against milne where he copped a bad bounce and went to his knees too early but never veen took his eyes off the ball bf warriors have branded him a wimp, which he isn't. the fact that he wins so much of his possessions contested is another point.

gibbs is also more versatile. has a much much better defensive side. has a far superior football brain. is great at clearances. is great around goals. is the best tackler at carlton and the best exponent of the smother in the comp. does one-percenters as good as anyone. cotchin is the most overhyped player of the 21st century. he will be a gun who will average 25 disposals a game and will use the ball really well but but will not have much else to hang his hat on. mark my words, gibbs will one day be the best player in the comp.
