Seriously needs to use that big frame of his and HURT some people
but,yes....
Will retain his spot and, bar injury ,will keep it for next 20 rounds.
Remember ,when Fisher comes back , he will be picking up teams third
tall/medium forwards. Will start to dominate. Or maybe he keeps holding his
own and Fisher dominates . Either way.....BWAAAAHAHAHAHA!
Mind you, off subject...Who goes out when Fisher comes back?....mmmmm

I would always rather see the attacking Gwilt in the team than the entirely defensive Dempster, so yes he should have been in the GF. But there wasn't much in it and Dempster had a good game other than shooting for goal.
I have long been a massive Gwilt fan and desperately want him to make it.
He contributed well last night, but I have to say that his positional play when the opposition have the ball is still not that great.
But I would hope he'd keep his spot. Indeed, only Kosi and Sam Fisher can now feel confident about getting back in when next available.
Raph, Dempster and Steven chose the wrong times to get injured!

Great link-man down back - has actually become very important in the abscence of Fisher. Seems to always get to the contest to provide an outlet, and his disposal is good.
Could he be the next cult figure????

Please...let's win a Premiership before GEELONG!!!! (O.k., so we've missed that opportunity...maybe let's win the next one before Geelong????)

Er, except Harry O has twice the senior game tally.
Game #43 for Gwilty, he's finally starting to look like he can hold his poise over 4 quarters. He's 23, five seasons and never been gifted much consistency either in games or playing position but now with a bit of luck we are seeing him start to settle into a role.

To be fair the 2010 Gwilt is better than the 2009 Gwilt.meher baba wrote:I would always rather see the attacking Gwilt in the team than the entirely defensive Dempster,.
He really looks to have stepped up a notch and become a "footballer".
Agree that Raph for his sake got injured at the wrong time as Gwilt will now be not easy to displace.

40 meters!! A bit of an exaggeration there, but it was a beauty. That bit of play along with others during the night showed that his decision making has significantly improved. This is the thing that strikes me most about Jimmy this year - he is making the correct decisions quickly now.Fearless wrote: Loved that 40 m dart handball over the pack to an attacking position in the last quaretr.
Probably had as much penetration as a Luke Ball kick.kp83 wrote:40 meters!! A bit of an exaggeration there, but it was a beauty.

I'm not proud of it, but the joke had to be made

The couple of times I made it to training this year, he hasn't been participating fully with the main group. Wonder if anyone has noticed if it has continued in recent weeks?
Made me wonder if he is on a new fitness program, I remember reading on here that he had chronic asthma, so curious if perhaps this is a new approach to ensuring he is at his peak on game day?
That aside, he certainly seems to have a new confidence about him.

It's funny, but that one handball proved a lot! Not only skill and execution, but vision and knowledge to put the ball in such an advantageous position.Fearless wrote:Like wtaching Gwilt play footy, he is a natural and his disposal is realy good.

He has worked hard to get where he is, another step up and he will be an 'A' player.
Gehrig emerged from scans yesterday saying he was "as sweet as a bun"
A cult figure at Moorabin and I would love to see him continue to improve and be selected because of it. Many good points to his game.
Lets put it in perspective though. Probably not the best measure. This week will be a big test, collingwood will be fired up after a flat performance last week, their forward line is unpredictable and pacy and forward preassure in round 1 looked to be their biggest improvement from 09.
Looking forward to the contest.

Maybe this year?
agreed, i think there were a couple of big handballs over the top to get us out of trouble. many use handball purely as a get out of jail with quick sideways, but jimmy g seems to use it as a real offensive weapon.Munga wrote:It's funny, but that one handball proved a lot!

he might struggle a touch next week against a better side, but once s fisher comes back i reckon gwilt will look pretty solid as third tall.
