Josh Gibcus [merged]

Before he gets on the park, can the Serpell critics please advise if he's had enough time on the sidelines? Are we rushing it or playing it too cautious?

If he gets injured he rushed him, if he doesn’t he held him back too long….

Reminds me of my ex wife. Can't win!

Richmond defender Josh Gibcus will pull on the jumper for the first time in nearly 500 days when he returns to action through the VFL.

Gibcus has had a difficult 18 months after sustaining an ACL rupture in the Tigers’ second game of 2024.

Prior to that injury, the promising key back had a series of hamstring troubles which he sought treatment for overseas.

He will make his long-awaited return this weekend in Richmond’s reserves against Geelong on Sunday.

“Yeah he’s (Gibcus) playing some VFL footy which is awesome, he’s been chomping at the bit for the last few weeks,” Richmond coach Adem Yze said.

“He’s finally got that opportunity, a big smile comes on my face when you say his name and I can’t wait.

“They obviously play the next day so there will be a heap of staff staying down to be there and support him through it.

“We can’t wait to see him out there.”

Jayden Short will accompany Gibcus in returning from injury and, according to Yze, will play 70 to 80 per cent game time before being available next week.
