Well done Gilbo - has been a great player and a great servant of the club. His hardness and experience is much needed right now to lead some of the younger players who are still learning how to step up into the big games. His performance, with the switch up forward, with 3 goals in 2010 GF was something to behold, it got us into that game almost getting us over the line and something that his critics might think about before they bag him. He stopped many a player much stronger and bigger with genuine pace and skill. Overall, a wonderful career! Congrats to the Gilbo! Win this one for him!


This is a team game and there is no room for individuals who think they are above walking through the fire.

Interesting that he said the three most influential players on his career, in this order,were Jason Blake, Nick Dal Santo and Max Hudghton.

Good on you Gilbo! I wish we had more players that showed the heart and endeavour you show every game!
You don't get to 200 games without showing something!
Your'e the type of player that are the heart and soul of any team.
I hope the team can do it for you!


Some time soon.

Bloody great work Gilbo.

Congratulations.

Should be an inspiration to kids showing you don't have to have sublime skills to forge a career in the AFL. Heart and hard work can lead to great things.

200 games for the saints. Puts him in the same category as only 30 other saints. Among them were the likes of Winmar, Barker, Neale, Smith, Dal Santo, Milne, Koschitzke, Colling, Hayes, Goddard, and Ditterich. That's pretty good company if you ask me. Well done Gilbo!
