He was never going to get it this week. He had a bad one

Q: Surprised Josh Gibcus has been overlooked so far for a rising star nomination?

Dimma:
"Not really, he plays for the Tigers so it probably has a bit to do with that [laughs]. I think he is a wonderful player. Those key backs ... you look how challenging it is. He's 18 years of age. He's getting the big jobs every week as well which is very important. He's getting beaten every now and then but he's going to learn some lessons. You can play 50 games at VFL level but if you play one game on Charlie Curnow or Harry McKay you're going to learn a hell of a lot. So he's been a revelation. He's only going to get better. You know ... Get stronger. Get a greater understanding of the game. But we already love what he is bringing."

Think he’s been down the last few weeks since his rest. How has everyone else seen him?

[Buddysucks]

I think he is going ok. You can see how badly he hates getting beaten.

Once he learns to use his god given talents he’ll be a freak.

[Rampsation]

He should play next week against geelong but get rested against west coast or north imho.

Great idea. Just play Miller instead.

I like how Dimma has gave him roles on gun forwards at times and said swim and sink put him in good stead for the future

[The Machine]

I thought last night was his best performance thus far.

Still no nomination for Gibbo.

Yep. 22 touches at 59% DE and kicked 0.3.

Great game. What a gun!

Who cares about the rising star .. such a BS award
Let him continue to fly under the radar .. perfect

Think he needs a break. He has been great for a first yr player but IMO just needs a spell in the two's to get a bit of pill and confidence.
ATM give me Miller and to play on big blokes.
