Richmond Rant / Re: Josh Gibcus [merged]

« Last post by one-eyed on October 11, 2025, 07:08:35 PM »

Development Coach Taylor Duryea is looking forward to striking up a bond with Josh Gibcus.

“It’s a really good young mix...a player like Josh Gibcus, who is really highly talented,” Duryea told Richmond Media.

“Obviously, he has had a lot of poor luck with his injury history and things like that.

“That was sort of similar to me when I started, whether it was injury or form, it took a long time to get going, so to potentially help someone like him through similar challenges, or guys in similar positions, (is exciting).”

If we want to stand on Danger objectively, he’s one of the most overrated players in the game.
Has 8 AA’s which is actually laughable.

A brilliant turn of foot, one of his generation’s best marks for his size but gee whiz if I had a dollar for every time he bursts clear from a clearance and blasts the ball out of the full.

Seriously, the man is a turn over merchant. If he was a Tiger player, he’d be our favourite whipping boy…

How'd he go in the GF? Haha

Better a year early than a day late, as they say...

Averaged 15 disposals and kicked 30 goals, as well as doing plenty of the hard stuff

Difference between your ridiculous comment that he is "finished" and the logic that they should manage him better ..

You realise he has never played less than 16 games in a season since his first year ?

If they look after him, he will be a very good player again next year .. and as for the GF, he was cactus .. fired his shot the week before single handedly dragging them over the line .. that says more about his teammates than it does Danger

Hyperbole over your head.

Anyway, he couldn't back it back after a full week break. Faded throughout the year and unsighted when it mattered most. Heck even cotch could wind back the clock with 25-30 touches here and there when he was finito.

Yeah he'll jag goals in a top 4 side but largely speaking he's caput.

Yep
Over my head

Career journo and managing editor .. but yep , you’ve got me covered

Mate , if you were talking doctor/nursing skills, I agree, you would have me covered .. straight over my head with the lingo etc

But when it comes to Danger, we don’t agree, simple as that

Dangerfield will never be the midfielder who lifts his side over the line week in week out anymore. I mean finished like that.

He can still wind back the clock sometimes, jag a few goals in a top 4 side, and he still gets the Dangerflop frees in front of goal 25m out.

But if the cats want to compete they'll need to rely on someone else.

He is playing forward.

He got 60 goals / assists and +15 touches and is very good on the eye test.

They have Cameron and curnow to 'rely' on and a skew of other 40+ goal a season guys

Agree 100%

The bloke is an A grade flog and easy to hate, which clouds judgement regarding how good he is

Been an absolute champion and is still a very good player in his new role

If we finish last in 2016 we could also claim a priority pick a la WCE……
But we won’t finish last IMO

The lucrative contract is a funny one, the clubs want control and are happy to pay for it and the player managers say that they can force a trade, both parties see it as a win win.

Carlton have had notoriously bad injury management, I’ll leave it at that

Got it. 

And to think bad injury management doesn't just happen at Richmond...go figure 

FWIW, I'd be very surprised if Carlton trade him, unless it's a super deal involving multiple very earlyc1st round picks. Which hos 2 suitors don't have and can't get their hands on
