Richmond coach Damien Hardwick: "His last 2 weeks have been exceptional. You're looking at an 18yo key position player who's gone under the radar of the media. He's been fantastic, growing into that role."

Surely Gibcus gets the rising star nomination this week!

That mark today where he started behind and out of position and ended up in front to clunk it cleanly was freakish.

Draftee Gibcus has been growing in stature week by week, and Broad said the first-round selection is "probably the most athletically gifted player" he's seen in his time at the Tigers.

"His endurance capability is amazing, his leap is ridiculous and he's a really smart kid, he learnt the structures so quickly," he said.

"His progression has been amazing, and he took another step forward on the weekend again, and for a key back, he manages to find the ball a lot, which is pretty impressive as well. It's pretty crazy to think he's only 18, so I think we're going to see and hear about Josh Gibcus for a very, very long time.

It’s still the early rounds which is generally where the nominees are based moreso on strong individual performances in a given round. Gibcus will get nominated as soon as there isn’t a standout single round performance and he’ll be rewarded for his consistent performances throughout the season.

Yep it's so predictable it's pathetic.

Then they'll award it to the mid who get the most touches throughout the year basically.

Damo gets it  :shh
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Gibcus is out this week due to Covid protocols.

Biggie to debut? Or do we go with Miller?

Tarrant is struggling with a hip problem apparently.
