Gibbs has nothing but frustration written all over him as a selection, guy was struggling to be best 22 last year, wouldn't expect SC positional change to help him hold down a regular spot all year.
What about new coach?
Sometimes when you're on the outs, a second chance is all you need, only time will time I guess.

I think he's definitely a risky pick because it might just be that age caught up to him earlier than it would for most players but then again it could just be that he had a down year for reasons largely irrelevant of his age or that he will rebound next year and other things were going wrong. Basically it might be that he's on a downward trajectory but you could have reason to believe that he's too young to have dropped of as much as he did last year and other things were wrong with him, including how he was handled by the coaches.

I just think at 375k he's only going to make 100k if he's averaging 90 a game so you'd need to bank on him being a borderline keeper averaging close to 100 for most of the year, a bit like how Brad Crouch was a decent pick given he was so cheap and people picked guys like Matt Crouch and Angus Brayshaw who were far more expensive and didn't score much better than him or scored much worse.

You don't forget how to play. Yes form dips but I really think it was perhaps complacency on Gibbs behalf which led him to being dropped. From there a build up of maybe dinted pride/embarrassment of playing in the 2s added with the media/pressures of not getting back in the snrs.
I think under a new Adelaide FC approach and new coach we'll see a better version Gibbs next year.
100av not out of the question

Yep true, wasn't even aware ADL had a new coach, that's how good my o***eason has been.....

One to watch pre-season in position and attitude no doubt.
Yeah, Pikes gone.

Gibbs could have a new lease on life (As long as those bikies chasing their gambling money don't break his legs first lol)

Actually I thought Gibbs must have been listed as a FWD or Back - as a mid only it's very unlikely I'll go near him....these picks frustrate the hell out of me as a mid. Can't ever seem to move them on but always feel obliged to start them.

Can anyone tell me why Rowell over Anderson other than 1st v 2nd in the draft?

I recall Anderson is more of a ready made inside bull which is what the Suns need?

Hey PC, think you might be confusing them, as Rowell is the more inside of the two and the a clearance beast.

Anderson is a touch more the Fyfe type, and will be able to come off a forward flank to start his career. Where's Rowell will just be straight in the guts and be an absolute beast with his clearance work and tackling.

Right you are.

Thanks GG.

Def: Zac Williams, Tom Stewart, James Sicily, Sam Docherty, Stephen Hill (F), Hayden Young (Sam De Koning, Will Gould)
Mid: Nat Fyfe, Patrick Cripps, Josh Dunkley, Patrick Dangerfield, Jack Steven (F), Matthew Rowell, Caleb Serong, Tom Green (Marlion Pickett, Deven Robertson, Mitchell Hibberd)
Ruck: Brodie Grundy, Max Gawn (Charlie Comben (F))
Fwd: Isaac Heeney (M), Jonathon Ceglar (R), Devon Smith (M), Liam Henry (M), Sam Flanders (M), Ben Cavarra (Ned Cahill (M), Jack Mahony (M))

Ceglar's an interesting pick.

Not sure if I'll stick with him, but Ceglar went 110, 83, 94 in the last 3 rounds when he was the sole ruck - McEvoy had 1 hit out across those 3 rounds (from 2 matches), but may just not have been 100% fit. Thinking this might have been Clarko trialling things out for 2020, looking at Ceglar becoming the main ruck this season. I'll try to keep an eye on who is likely to be doing the majority of ruck work prior to the season starting, but I think Ceglar is potentially really good value.

I also ideally will want a R/F player in the forward line with a different bye to Grundy/Gawn for R13, but that's probably not necessary to start with.

I would avoid if I were you, he's 28 and never averaged more than 76 and has played 25 games over the past two years. I would go for Nic Nat for a bit more.
