Re: Welcome back Libba 2016

Some of his and our other players handpasses were so quick today I missed them. Great to have him back and loved the banner and big cheer when it was displayed. Grit and class combo-Go Libba!!

His ability to stifle a contest is amazing.. Such a competitor, with a deft touch.

A lot of people concentrate on the competitive aspect of Libba and overlook how skilled his touch is. He has really quick hands, is a decent shot for goal and has the classic left foot-takehalfastepbeforeyoukickit-gait. Tom certainly comes across as someone who grew up with a footy in his hands.

I often say and strongly believe that Tom has the best offensive handball since Greg Williams. Just brilliant to watch. I thought he and Mitch linked up really well at stages today.

After a year off, I forgot whether he was a natural right or left footer.

Then he kicked that running goal on his right, before having a set shot on his left. The guy is just a footballer, through and through.

My mate said the same, he asked me why he had the set shot on the left.

Opposition players dont get it easy when Libba makes his way to a contest.

Sounds like his old man

Doesn't it just!

Welcome back Libba. I missed you.

Re: Welcome back Libba 2016

Wallis and Liberatore MK II linking up - magical. Growing, supporting each other through adversity. Tom's injury - forced Mitch to step up a level. Once Tom gets full confidence back these two are going to maul opposition midfielders with their hunger and psychic Bulldog will-to-power.

Re: Welcome back Libba 2016

Better footballer than his dad who I loved is just an out and out gun. His dad willed himself to champion status Tom is just one out of the box.

That's a bit unfair. Different era, with less resources at the club, no altitude sleepovers in hotels, Victoria University sports science boffins, and less cm on our beloved Tony. I would say Tom has a long way to go before he gets as much out of himself as his Dad did.

Re: Welcome back Libba 2016

This is by no way a slight on Tony just that I believe Tom is more naturally talented that is all

Perhaps more naturally talented Strebla and we know where you are coming from but there have been few more inspiring bulldogs than Tony - he was almost the living embodiment of what it means to be a Bulldog

Personally, hes among the most inspiring footballers I've ever seen - He'd been told so many times what he couldnt do - he had no right to consistently influence football games at his size, and opposition players feared him.

Well put BR. One of my favourite players ever in the red white and blue is Tony. I loved watching him play. Plus he won medals for the B & F for the whole league in the thirds, ressies and seniors. A very special player. Tom is great too and might eclipse his old man by the time he retires. Time will tell.

Re: Welcome back Libba 2016

I for one am just happy that Tom is ours.

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