Gibbs could be the next Hodge I feel it

[Big Red is back]

The way Hodge has taken to the back half makes me think that Byrce Giibs could fill that role next year for the blues.

Both players are NSD pick 1, Both players have super silky skills, Both players lack alittle pace, both players rack up lots of possession and both guys are very good in the air and on the ground.

Most importantly in Gibbs short career he has already highlighted he reads the play very well and can take on guys such as Chad Cornes and Goodes one on one and win.

For me central to the blues move up the ladder will be B Gibbs filling a similar role to Hodge. Potentially even better as at the same stage of their careers Gibbs is clearly the better player.

I also hear that Dale Thomas could be the next Barry Hall.

 

[Aussie Joe]

This is going to get ugly.

Red, couldn't you wait until the Hawk supporters buzz had worn off

With a bit of work I really feel Cain Ackland could become the next Dean Cox

Put Cain in the forward pocket and watch the fireworks.

Hodge is super tough and very courageous.

Hodge would not shit himself if Stevie Milne ran at him.

However he would go off for 20 mins in a cut throat prelim with a cut tongue.

Hodge confirmed no rib damage.... yet he was crying as he ran off twice

The knock would of hurt, don't you think. Hodgey played on and then fronted up for the most important game of the year which he was best on ground for. When duddy was smashed by Lloyd, there was no output from him and he missed the next week as well. LOL soft.

LOL when did Hodgey cry? I hear Hodgey's tears could cure cancer, it's just a pity that he doesn't have tear ducts.

Gibbs is a little bitch squibber. It's embarassing for Hodgey to even compare the two. It would be far more appropriate for you to compare Gibbs with someone like Brady Rawlings.

 

[__aria__]

He would have to go backwards if he ever wanted to be the next Hodge.

Hodge-Tough, Leader,
Gibbs-Squib, frontrunner

Geez Red, hope not! Touch wood.

Gibbs has great disposal....

 

[murph#3]

unlike hodge, i think gibbs will definitely be good enough to hold a spot in the midfield.

I seem to remember him tearing your club a new arseh*le from the midfield last year when we played at the Telstra Dome.

07 or 08?

lol

hodge filling a hole on the backline = norm smith and vaults his side to a premiership.

you can only dream of a player doing that for your lot.

 

[Carn Hawkas]

How dare you insult Hodgey like that.
Gibbs is far to soft to do what Hodgey does.

 

[murph#3]

unfortunately dominating against the 15th-placed team in a 100-point victory isn't enough to hold down a spot in the midfield.

Both

Both

In 08 he played in defence for one Brownlow vote. Murphy who played as a legitimate midfielder was twice as good with 2 votes.

In 07, I may be wrong, but didnt he play up forward.

He's an ok player Hodgey, just doesnt have the tank to play as a full-time midfielder. I'd compare him to Craig Bradley at the age of 34.

 

[WCE2012]

LOL plain and simply....NO

Hodge is a jet. Gibbs is soft....a Farren Ray with better skills.

07 or 08?

June 16, 2007 at the Telstra Dome:
"Roughead led hard, showed clean hands and roosted a career-best five goals. Boyle kicked three and gave away another three to teammates, and Croad also snared three. Luke Hodge celebrated his 100th game by sneaking forward and getting four himself."

I think he likes playing against your mob. He got a season high of 32 disposals against Carlton in 2008 as well. 3 Inside 50s, 1 goal, 1 goal assist, 4 tackles...pretty good game I thought.

Please don't insult him by comparing him with Gibbs...

That's just below the belt.

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

Didnt Paul Dear once win a Norm Smith also? Tony Shaw too.

In 2007 he played in the midfield and snuck forward for 4 goals.

In 2008 he had a goal assist, plenty of inside 50s, one goal to his own name and 32 possessions. If he did that from defence then he has a bigger kick than I thought.
