Sam Gibson poll

Thinking of trading Horsley straight to Gibson even though he hasnt played a  game.

Should i wait for Gibson to get on the bubble and just take Horsleys price drop or trade now and avoid price drop?

[Mr.Craig]

How important would Gibson be to you as bench cover? If the answer is not very then I guess you can make an argument for getting him in before the bubble.

To be honest the bubble doesn't really matter unless you are planning to make money from Gibson, if that is your strategy then you should wait. If you are considering him as your final mid downgrade then it's really more an issue of bench cover as I mentioned.

Exactly. Well said

Keep. Seeing as Horsley is named and Gibson is almost certain to be the sub, you can afford to wait a week.

Most unhelpful post ever mate. ::) Why don't you just help the guy out instead of saying what he should've done. ::) Maybe he made 3 upgrades last week, or traded out three guys with LTI's, so you can't make those assumptions. ::)


I would make the trade, pocket the cash. Gibson looks set to play most weeks form here on. :D

Whats gold coast trend this year anyone no. Hav they been naming their sub off the bench?... Thinkin i dont wanna cop a sub affected score to horse price, would rather trade for gibbo now

[Affliction]

For an 85k player i would wait. If he gets injured your stuck with him & most likely the sub this week.

[DT Gun]

he just isnt a 'sub' like player...

He has elite endurance fitness..

I seriously can not see him being the sub this week but hey im not the coach

I don't have the info at hand but I believe on several occasions the GC sub has been a player named on the field. So it's hard to tell who it might be.

[Artax]

See how he goes this week.. Horse will only drop a bit and Gibson is cheaper than any other rookie we have taken all season!

[Affliction]

I suppose its a chance given they are playing goldcoast that he may get a full game. If there were betting odds on it he would be the favourite for the green vest ahead of Harper & Cunnington. Its the trend these days for first gamers to start with the green vest.

[DT Gun]

i think they will give him a run, i mean they are going to win and get a fantastic chance to see how he will go against an AFL midfield..

Id put him head to head with gazza if i was coach, see what he is made of

[captain dt]

i was gonna bring in gibson soon for a plan i ve got with 5 trades

The problem is he could well drop another 20-30k as his current BE is 119 (according to FF at least, might be a bit less or even more). I think the real question for the OP is, how important will the scores of either player be for his side this week? If your in a league match and desperately need the win, and by keeping Horsley you might possibly have a bit better chance of winning, then I'd keep him on the possibility that he might come out and score a ton. Otherwise with Horsley next week anyway, while Gibson probably has a good chance of playing, you may as well make the move now, as it is unlikely keeping the Horse will make you any more money in the long run (and by the time he plays in Rd. 14, you probably don't need him on field anymore anyway). Horsley might be a more solid option as an M7, but that all depends on your side.

Maybe if you posted your team it might be a bit easier to answer.
