Welcome Josh Gibcus

Extremely disappointing for Josh, team & supporters. However all that can be done is get the surgery, rehab thoroughly and be ready for 2025. He’ll have the club and membership support throughout - every step of the way.

Like Richo did from 96 onwards, hopefully he comes back better than ever.
Same age also. 20 going on 21.

Richo was fantastic from his first practice match back in 1996 - against Collingwood at Waverley. Took an overhead mark & got crunched as he landed. When he got up and realised his knee was ok - he was away. Hopefully the same for Josh - he’ll be a great player as well once he gets over this latest setback

IIRC, Richo's body seasoned to a bigger frame from that year. Chance for GIbbo's to get bigger and stronger too. As I get pissed off hearing oppo players return sooner than expected, let's hope we have good luck on our side and Gibbo recovers within 6 months.

Sam Naismith can counsel him. He’s done three ACL’s. Good man to have at the club at this time.
Great call, saw him getting around him after the game too and having a chat.
Absolutely shattered for him, rotten luck.
 
big blow and a bad injury for a player that relies on his leap

A commentator mentioned that the ACL was somehow linked to his hammy issue he had.
