We have King, Nahas and Maric.A who can play small forward roles for now that means Gibson has a bit of time to develop and become the player we hope he can be.

In all seriousness you don't know what an important point you make in this post Flagman.

For far too long we've played kids when they were not and by extension not given kids who need time to develop TIME

Also spent some time chatting to him today and have to agree. Nice fella, intelligent enough and very different to Troy Taylor.

Contrary to what you have posted, Taylor never said the club should BUY him a house.
You, like the previous post, seem to be taking the following quote from his mother about wanting a house and expanding it to say he wanted the club to buy him a house.

Taylor's mother, Tania Dudgeon, "I tried to have a talk to him but he was just saying, 'I'm not going back Mum, they don't do what they're supposed to do for me."
 'I want a house ... they haven't helped me and how many times do I have to ask them?' "

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/more-news/richmonds-troy-taylor-unlikely-to-return-to-melbourne/story-e6frf9jf-1226042463557

So unless you have other evidence for "mummy they didn't buy me a house" that would make your statement incorrect or .....yes... a LIE.

No, my old man has been living in NT for a few years now and he knows Troy's brother through a football club. Troy wanted Richmond to buy him a house according to his brother.

K, guy. ;D

Either way, that conversation doesnt look great. If he was too homesick or unfocused to ditch the club then so be it. But he was clearly looking looking for reasons to blame the club for his lack of commitment.
I think his actions past and present speak volumes about his character. I'l leave it at that.
