You will not get an argument from me on that. I have been a member since 83 ant he is high in my top ten but young Tom is knocking on the door himself already. Never have so many youngsters made me salivate as our current crop but Tom is my favourite.
bulldogs are forever not just when they are winning

Fantastic to see Libba back. Such a great player - can't be understated.

How much do his teammates love him? He seems like one of the most popular blokes at the club

I would walk a little taller knowing Libba has my back.. He goes to war everytime he steps onto the field.

How good was his pass to Stringer in the last quarter. Didn't kick to Stringer, kicked it to where Stringer would be. It was perfection.
During last season, one of our flaws as a team was that teams got run ons against us at times and put together successive goals. I think Libba will have a big say in us improving this/stamping this out. He is just so ruthless around the contest - just wants to win as much as anyone I've seen.

Both will be greats of our club. Tom might just shade his Dad when it comes to team success.

How olds Oliver?
Imagine having two Libbas running around for us. Going to be a nightmare for the opposition.
The curse is dead.

Re: Welcome back Libba 2016
Tom is a much better player and I think Tony would be absolutely as proud as punch of him. We all want our kids to be better than ourselves don't we.....

Re: Welcome back Libba 2016
I loved Libba back, I've also loved a few times this year he's kicked goals off one or two steps, like an NFL punter. With so many players able to play on the inside, I like Libba resting forward especially being able to do the above well and quickly in heavy traffic. It could be such a dangerous option to add into the forward mix.

He even played across half back for a while in the last half. A versatile player now is Tom.

And again just now. He's fast becoming the expert punter off one or two steps.
