Hall v Gibson

[SweetLeftFoot]

How would you know? Someone told you on bigfooty?

Yep. Some people's who judgement I rate.

Did you go to the game?

I like that North fans suggest that Gibson is a dud pure and simple, despite the fact he came fifth in their best and fairest just last year.
He isnt a KPP (maybe a third tall), i think everyone knows that, but if he is a dud north melbourne have serious serious problems if he could be their fifth best player.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Gibbo hardly set the world on fire today.

Who was he playing on?

This time last year they were saying the same about Leigh Brown.

They tend to be a bit bitter and twisted at Arden St.

Bitter and twisted?

We delisted him and everyone was very relieved with the decision. I doubt you could find a North supporter who has changed their opinion on that.

 

[Firebat]

I'm happy Brown is getting games and playing at an acceptable level at Collingwood Good on him I say.

Many were very spiteful in the way they expressed theselves though and mocked his recruitment by Collingwood.

We did finish 13th.

Let me put it this way.

Its not him, its you.

No we don't. we Just point out he's not a KPP. And B+F thing - he was one of very few players to play all 22 games last year.

Gibson is 100x better than Brown. Nobody was prepared to give anything for Brown. I llike Browny, but he was just no good. Sure he will play the odd useful game but he lacks consistency and he doesn't bring a lot to the contest most of the time. Going into the finals he isn't the type of player that you will be expecting to perform and help to win a flag. I'd be happy if he was to prove me wrong but he was Laidley's love child and even he gave up on him.

He is playing marginally better for Collingwood but I wouldn't want him back and we have no real key position forwards at the moment.

We are still saying that about Leigh Brown.

Do you see the Pies winning a flag with him in the 22?

On Bay 13????

OMG, what is the world coming to????

I see comments like this a fair bit and I normally let them go because people do not understand how the Syd Barker medal is awarded, our 5 match committee members each rate every player out of 10 each week based on the influence each player had in each game, so assuming you scored a perfect 10 by each 5 committee members you can score a maximum of 50 points, nobody ever comes remotely close to getting maximum.

The average for the 2009 award was 16 players per game scoring something with a low of 10 and a high of 21, depends on how many players played well. That 10 btw was our win against the Saints, so only 10 players played well enough to score, typically wins score better than losses and have more players scoring.

Syd Barker is a marathon, being in the game longer gives you a better chance of winning, we only had 7 players play 22 games, Gibson was one of those players and he was very solid when playing in defence.

The average number of games played per player was 13.42 games for the year and players averaged 9.72 scoring games for the season so that means 72% of the time you played you registered a score. So playing 22 games is a huge advantage given the average is only 13.42 games played.

Gibson scored votes in 17 of the 22 games or 77.3% of the time which was 16th in terms of frequency of scoring votes and scored an average of 17.95 points per game scored which put him 11th in terms of averaged scored.

Swallow, the winner of our award scored votes 21 out of the 22 games and had the second highest average per game behind Rawlings. There were a lot of players cut down by injured that scored more frequently and scored higher averages, the way the Syd Barker award works though is rewards those that play consistently and play frequently.

I might add, that Swallow won polling 472 votes, in 2007 Grant came in 10th place on 658 votes which reflects how poor our year was in 2009 on-field.

So not only did he finish 5th in your B + F, he was consistantly fit and on the field. Sounds like a good recruit for an injury depleted defence.

He was very consistent when in defence as a half back flanker.

He was coming 2nd at the round 11 mark.

Not a bad effort overall.

Was a fair effort, but we had a lot of good players who missed a lot of games to injury, I think he stood well outside the top 10 players in terms of our best quality players but he was around when others were injured so kudos to him.

 

[mark73]

That's probably because North are/were pretty shit.

Lol, look who's talking...

Apparently (according to bitter North fans) Gibson played in the midfield all of last year

Actually it's according to anyone who watched our games last year, something you obviously didn't do.

so you can blame Scott Thompson and Nathan Grima for that.

Well I could be wrong but I think the only time Thompson lined up anywhere near Koschitzke was in the round 21 match, you know, the one where we beat them?

 

[mark73]

I also recall Hawthorn winning that game quite comfortably

Yes I recall that, too. I also recalled that we had to have a year ravaged by injuries for Hawthorn to go a season undefeated against us.
