How good is Libba - I declare, he is an A grader
Tough as nails, Libba is a contested ball beast with 15 from his 25 disposals, 7 clearances, 6 inside 50s, 8 tackles and never stops trying.
This bloke is an A grader, no doubt

The commentary team seemed vaguely surprised but at least they mentioned it. He is in career best form. So much of what he does isn't captured as a stat. I love Libba and am so glad that we can see him at his pesky best.

Re: How good is Libba - I declare, he is an A grader
A + . Incredibly under rated. He was pivotal in 2016 and I believe becoming a dad has been great for him off field. We've done well out of the FS rule.

I reckon cutting the other members of the rat pack helped him grow up as well. He looked like he was going to have a massive 2019 based on his preseason before injuring his ACL and you'd think the loss of Stringer and Dahlhaus led to him pulling his head in.

He's in excellent condition, so strong in the upper body.
Outstanding season that he's having.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Re: How good is Libba - I declare, he is an A grader
We walk taller when he is playing, I think the players love him as much as we do.
He is one strange relaxed character with that incredible ability to be loved by everyone.
Bring back the biff

Re: How good is Libba - I declare, he is an A grader
He is back to the form we all fell in love with in 2016 - and honestly has probably gone past it. He is our enforcer and all the boys stand a meter taller when he is next to them.
More importantly, he is our barometer, when he plays well we play well. In career best form at the right time of the year.
The dam wall has busted!

We are 4-0 in finals with Libba
We are 0-2 in finals without Libba
Bring it on

Would have to be one of our most important players.

Re: How good is Libba - I declare, he is an A grader
We walk taller with Libba in the team. He has grown as the season has progressed. He is playing some of the best footy of his career in recent weeks. Still has the hard edge and pressure he is known for but so is calm and creative with the ball in hand. Love him.
