Great news. We are a much better team with him in the team than not.

Think it is great if he can rotate through the midfield

He certainly adds some much needed grunt to our midfield. The modern prototype for a midfielder. We need a couple more of his size and speed.

Very pleased with Gilbert getting 2 years, maybe the initial offer was 1 year - glad it's settled now. Versatile player and fierce tackler.
Stronger side with him in it.

To the poster suggesting perhaps Fisher should retire - disagree. Still playing very good footy and they really need him.
Bet he get's another year.....

Great news. When switched on has good size, speed and a nice pair of hands overhead. Kicking still a bit iffy. but he's too good to lose

He has looked ok in the middle but I still wouldn't put him in our top dozen, let alone top 5

I'm not a fan of Sam Gilbert mainly due to his poor kicking and some poor decision making under pressure but I'm certainly not a hater. I expect he will be get a game when the selectors think that he is in the best 22 but I'll be hoping that we have 22 better than him.

Great news, really like Sammy - he can be very damaging to the opposition and we can't do without him.
