He doesn't create space. He creates portals.

He created space with his handballs, whilst Libba doesn't create space, but completely changes where the ball is. Its almost like the ball is teleported from the space it occupies into a completely different space on a completely different trajectory.

Apparently the club close to offer two years with maybe a trigger on a third. Either he signed and the pressure released, or a not ideal time to play a game like that entering into negotiations.

Harmes went to him and completely nullified him. We seemed to play him forward more, potentially as part of an attempt to take the 'tag' out of the midfield, but even when he was playing mid he had no influence.
Disappointing but not concerned for future games.

Not sure it's something that can happen to a source player too often. Melbourne got him this week but any other week perhaps Harmes doesn't play so well and Libba is a bit more switched on to work through it.
Libba's game was a weird one tonight. He butchered a kick across the ground, but also executed two of the best kicks all night to the empty space around CHF to hit one our players and create a score. Perhaps he's a bit tired, not really sure.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Re: How good is Libba - I declare, he is an A grader
Can you be a club legend whilst still playing? If you can then Libba is.
Don?t think there?s a dog?s supporter that doesn?t love him.
Embodies all the good things about our great club.

Thing with Libba is that he’s still a cool and hot guy who many would say has his best years ahead of him.

He's old. As is anyone that shares a birthday with him.

I think you will find Bont falls in that category as well.
He has already been declared the best player the bulldogs ever had by some, still got another 5 years in him minimum.
Bring back the biff

Which is awesome, but also guessing that it wasn’t a stat that was tracked until the mid 90’s at earliest.

That's ridiculous. Of course he's not old. No one around his age is considered old by anyone so please stop lying.
