Yeah, but the communications team clearly misspelt it according to how he said it!
You either love his sense of humour or don’t really get him, it seems. I love it.

Re: Libba
And, imagine 2020 if we could engineer Tom & Olly Liberatore on the list. Would be great romance even further.

Re: Libba
Very happy with this news; like others I would have preferred two years but totally get why its one year (for both club and Tom).

Re: Libba
By signing a 1 year deal I believe that Tom has now foregone his 'free agency' status for 2019/2020. If another Club wants him at end of 2019 they will have to trade with us for him, or of course Tom can nominate for the Draft.

Re: Libba
FINALLY.
His market value wouldn't ever have been lower so it's in both his interest and the club's to see where they're at a year from now.
Hopefully he roars back with a vengeance, and that form trajectory mirrors the club's.
I'm more excited by this than anything that transpired during the trade period. Moar motovated even too.

Re: Libba
Was watching the video associated with his re-signing and realised he can't have done much media as I had no idea how he talked and didn't sound the way I was expecting. Not good or bad, just feels like his voice doesn't match his face for some reason, might just be me.

Re: Libba
I thought he looked a bit drawn (loss of weight) in the face in the Bulldog website interview - was surprised a bit.
Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

Definitely thinner. Not sure about drawn.
He’s fluctuated a bit in his career though.

Re: Libba
This bloke is a jet. So glad he's with us in 2019 and not the likes of Essendon or Carlton, both of whom are actually desperate for someone with Libba's skillset.
I think he will show the footy community just how good he is in 2019. His clearance work in the 2016 finals series is the stuff of legend.

Re: Libba
I love Libba. Almost as much as I loved his Dad. Just want to see him fit and enjoying his footy again, we will benefit greatly.
