    Congratulations Libba 150th this week

    Seems to have gone so quickly.

    A B&F winner and an important player in our midfield. Libba is a contested ball beast and has been playing some great footy since he came back from his awful knee problem.

    Congrats Libba, a real favourite

    Some highlights from 2020

    FFC: Established 1883

    Premierships: AFL 1954, 2016 VFA - 1898,99,1900, 1908, 1913, 1919-20, 1923-24, VFL: 2014, 2016 . Champions of Victoria 1924. AFLW - 2018.

    Knees have held up well let's hope they continue to do so to get him to 200 and life membership.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

      He's a star. Always puts his team mates to great
      advantage. One of my favourites, I regularly shake my head in admiration watching him. Let's hope we can get him a win for his milestone game.

        Now that he regularly injects concrete into his knees I think he'll be fine for the forseeable future

          And more importantly a premiership player. Somebody wins a B and F every year but only a few have premiership medallions.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            He is a gun. No doubt at all. Shame he has missed so much time but I’m positive he will end up a two time premiership player

            Best of luck for your 150th. The boys won’t let him down this week.

            Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

              Nice post. Share your sentiments. Onya Libba-you are a ripper. Confident Libba is helping young ones like Westy so they can eventually replace his big big shoes.
              Josie :)

              Our day will come
              And we'll have everything.
              We'll share the joy
              Just like '54 again.

                Great player and he was remarkable last season. Love his 2020 season expect him to continue on that form into 2021. Congrats Libba on 150 games one of them being a premiership!

                  Etched in history.

                  He was sensational in 2016 and one of the reasons why we won the premiership:

                      Did he win one with the Vietnam Swans a few weeks after the AFL premiership?

                      Only player to hit a century during an AFL grand final, and surprisingly off the bowling of Colin Miller.

                      If not for 2 knees he would be around 200 games by now, but a great effort to still be out there performing at a high level.

                        Libba is obviously a gun, but extra shout out to being the last of a dying breed; an actual honest to god relatable AFL player who is unashamedly himself and is all the easier to get behind for it.

                              He's the 1 bloke you want in the middle when the game is at its hottest. He has never shirked a contest in his life.

                              Fingers crossed we can nurse him through for another 3+ years of good footy, he is incredibly important to our fortunes.
                              Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
