Jordan Gysberts

[Demonland 65,536]

The promising young Demon midfielder again showed glimpses of his ball getting ability and was showing definite signs of improvement until a scaphoid injury put an early end to his 2011 campaign.

We are yet to see his best.

The Gys getting season ending injuries in his first two seasons has been concerning, but otherwise I reckon he's a young gun who's very under rated and rarely gets mentioned as much as Watts, Trengove and a former $cully did.

For such a skinny kid I reckon his clearance work is first class and reckon once he's put on some muscle could become one of the best clearance players in the AFL.

If Jack Watts is a Nick Riewoldt clone, then I'd have to say Jordan Gysberts is a Scott Pendlebury clone.

[rpfc 27,505]

Another special one.

Get some mass on his hindquarters and he will be a Dal Santo/Pendlebury type player.

[Lutz 76]

Just a matter of time with this one.

[Guest The Exorcist]

200 game player if he applies himself diligently.

[Kento80 83]

Ripper of a kid, and I can't wait to see how devastating he will become with a bit more grunt.

[monoccular 16,135]

Needs to build up - has all the right skills and instincts to be a real gem.

Hopefully Craig and Missen will get his body right ... then....wham!!

[Deeoldfart 7,776]

I really like what I've seen of Gys in 2010 /2011, but unfortunately we have only seen glimpses. He has a great deal of upside if he can get his body right and keep it that way. Build his body and endurance, and improve his disposal a tad, and we have a potential gun midfielder who wins a mountain of ball, and is extremely difficult to match up on. We now have some of the best fitness and conditioning staff in the AFL, and I reckon they will be spending a lot of one-on-one time with Gys over the Summer.

Expectations have been high of our boys, but as I posted on the Jack Watts thread, apparently it takes 3 years for the boys

to be fully AFL fit, according to fitness coaches interviewed on SEN yesterday. We should be seeing the improvements next year

and onwards.

played 15 games this year and is more advanced in his career than he gets credit for. Gysberts is one of my favourite players.

[drdrake 3,038]

Needs to have a full pre-season, never looked fit throughout 2011, has a big upside and has shown he has ability just needs to get his endurance right and stay fit.

[Adzman 2,085]

Injuries aside, he is now in out best 22 especially with Scully leaving the building. Showed plenty of grit for a kid. 2012 is a big year for him and I think he is going to be a ripper of a player going forward.

[Outside fifty 967]

What I really like about the kid is that his football is instinctive, you can't teach that. You either have or you don't. What I also noticed this year is that he can also take a good grab. Give him a strong body and endurance to match and this kid could be anything. I'm seriously excited by the GYS.

[The Big Ticket 94]

Joel Corey mk II. Will be in our top 2-3 midfielders by the end of next year. Huge upside as long as his body holds up.

[Buzzy 932]

I'm a massive fan - my question marks are over his kicking technique and body shape... he might be one of those guys that may not be able to muscle up but hopefully I'm wrong and he becomes a beast. We're crying out for a Scott Pendlebury in the guts so lets hope he gets there.

[Gorgoroth 12,331]

See Avatar, wears the #5 after the great Ox.

Love child.

Will be a very handy player, not a star, but a well respected midfielder who will be there when we win our next flag!

[neeldbeforezod 2]

I like him, but is soft. Skirts contests more than Benny, doesn't get the hard ball.

Have you ever watched the kid play??

Terrible incorrect appraisal.

Simply wrong.

You are either taking the [censored] or not quite right in the head!

I think everyone can agree this kid is going to be an absolute gun! Has the goods already and not afraid of body contact- with such a small body.. someone else on our list can learn from that...

[neeldbeforezod 2]

I stand by my opinion, after all, it is mine.

I just feel that he doesn't work hard enough, could get much more out of himself. And for a 'gun midfielder' he has no tank. Get him gut running with Jonesy and let's see how he does.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

LOL he has only been on the list for 2 years, what the hell do you expect??!

My opinion is that your opinion is total crap.

He's had 5 posts, most likely taking the [censored]. Gysberts has a thirst for the contest [censored], is regularly digging the ball out and putting his head over it. Get a clue

[jnrmac 19,059]

The Gys getting season ending injuries in his first two seasons has been concerning,

Hang on, wasn't his first one an impact injury where a filth player (Daisy Thomas?) cannoned into his back and bruised a vertebrae?

Hardly a cause for concern.

[Guest Deefence]

I tend to agree with colossus there, I am appalled at Jordan's lack of fitness for an elite player. He was drafted as a fitness nut, what happened to his core strength and tank? Bailey at fault?

[The Chazz 4,077]

Jury's out for me sorry. Just not sure if he will make it to the level everyone on here is expecting him to. That's not saying that I don't think he will make it, I just don't know.

I hope I'm wrong, but to say that I am already is totally over-rating the kid.
