R1: Port v Norwood review

[finn]

thought it was a good game - hard fought and with the traditional niggle between both teams with some absolutely scintillating play from both teams. great goals, pack marks and some superb tackling.
what I saw was a side that should finish top 3 (port) playing a side that will struggle to make the five - more's the pity as a norwood supporter but some mistakes were made that made schoolboys blush.
i also believe that chad gibson may have been let go too early by the crows.

Very possibly Finn, but still not certain on that one .. Gibbo has a great presence due to his size, speed and strength - His kicking action is good enough to suggest any wayward attempts on goal are more upstairs than in his actual kicking style - But I think his hands and overhead marking action still need fixing as he has a tendency to snatch for the ball, hence he relies on his chest marking a little too often.

If he can keep his body sound he can offer plenty to the Legs this year.

gibson does go a little flat handed but you'd hope that a 'professional' sporting organisation would have the nous to see that but people with pace, agility and a decent leap for their height and weight don't grow on trees. hopefully he watched tredrea's work (eg field positioning) as much as it pains me to say this.
more importantly, there wasn't any rolling over and letting bellies get scratched.

lol Well, that rules our mob out!

Gibson should still be on the AFC's list without doubt.

Gibbo's leap is more than decent, it's huge.
