I reckon fatigue would have been a reason for some of his skill errors. Massive task on Franklin in that form.

As Perry says in The Wanderers... LEAVE the kid ALONE! So he made a few errant kicks. Still going to be an absolute star and will continue to make mistakes as he grows into his first year
Good experience. Some uncharacteristic kicking errors but meh he is a kid with a big future.
I noticed he has been a bit off with his disposal in the last couple of games. But he's an elite disposer, we all have better and worse days.
Agree - compare the odd mistake he makes to those Rance made in his first few years and I think we then realise what a special talent we have in the team.
On a another side,
Rance played 200 games for 9 goals while Gibs has played 10 games for 1 goal. He is that good I reckon he play both ends
Yep. Totally agree. Made no more mistakes than Vloss and Grimes last night so nothing to see here
good get. agree.
My criticism isn't really a criticism. I went and had a shower afterwoods.
agree, he'll have to face the gorillas and freaks and the kid has what it takes. Did well, made some mistakes, he's still the find of the season for us.
He made a few cracker mistakes, turn overs from kicking.
But I still like the kid
Dimma moved him 3-4 minutes too late. You could almost see what was gonna happen before it did.
Terrible night by Dimma. Terrible.
Posted the same in another thread. Forget all other distractions. This is the key reason we lost.
Yep. I haven’t had reason to criticise his game day tactics the last 6 years - even when we’ve lost - but last night was horrendous.
Not shutting off Mills, not getting Bolton further up the field, late moving Gibcus etc etc
If you look at the game stats, we did enough, or had enough going for us on the night, to win that game.
For some perspective he kept Buddy to 3 disposals up until half time. Gibcus didn’t just match it with Buddy he was giving him a fair old bath. Not bad for a first year KPD. But fatigue was naturally going to set in.
The MC were derelict in their duty. You could see as the game wore on Buddy was getting into the game. He was there match winner. Grimes or Tarrant should have been swing onto Buddy midway through the third quarter.

Agree. Buddy getting off the chain wasn't down to Gibbo, it was Dimma and Dimma even kind of admitted it in his presser.
