Watching those pressers it didn't look like Gibbs was ready to retire. He spoke about the challenge of being in and out of the team rather than the challenge of being able to play. I didn't realise his football had become that much of a problem. Was it? Does someone throw him a lifeline? I expected the Kreuzer announcement. Poor bloke just couldn't avoid injury.
From media reports they tried to suddenly develop a more accountable/defensive side to his game , not going to happen after 10+ years.
Had his faults but always thought he was a excellent kick.
Should have played a lot more games than he did at Crowland so suspect their may well have been a clash of opinions somewhere along the line.
265 games so far.

The other kick in the guts as an Essendon supporter is that was the first year that priority picks went from being at the start of the first round to inbetween the first and second round. So picks 17 and 18 for Blues and Bombers.
If it remained as it was the year before the Bombers would have had pick 2 and 4. It has been revealed several times if the had both those pick they would have gone Gumby then Selwood at pick 4.
Herbie - Yep Selwood missed most his of his draft year with a knee injury.
