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.

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 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.

Watched the game with my daughters boyfriend yesterday who is a essendon supporter, the poor bloke is 20 and hasn't seen essendon win a final or be any good for that matter. However he was barracking for the dogs yesterday with me through force of you want to see my daughter these are the rules, but I digress. Anyway early in the game he makes the comment "Libba frustrates me, he always makes mistakes!" I didn't kick him out of my house because I'm smart too you see, I'll let Libba show him himself. After a quick Liberatore lesson, by the last quarter he was cheering Libba and saying he's a gun. Case dismissed your honour!

That does put it into some perspective. By the time I was 20 I think I'd seen 2? 1985 semi v North and 1992 v Saints at Waverley. And we had some dire times back then.

Honestly, you wouldn't want the ball in anyone else's hands be it in close or wide open in space. His footy nous combined with his toughness and skill is a very rare combination. Blessed to be able to see him do his thing.

That kick from the far wing into the centre square (I forget to who) was just sublime. That was one of the best kicks I have ever seen in a game of football. What amazing vision he has. He’s gone up a notch no doubt. Out and out gun.

In a team that hasn't got many players that really embody what we love and recognise as our Club at its best, he is a beacon. We had a few of these characters leave us recently (Smith, Picken, Morris) and Libba has been in the wilderness a bit through injury and perhaps a bit of personal reflection with life changes.

He is dogged, but to emphasise that alone ignore his class. He is combative, but to emphasise that alone ignore his discipline. He is eccentric but to emphasise that ignores his leadership.

We definitely walk taller with him in the side, he can be like a little bit of sand in our shoe that irritates and drives us to take some action and get things on our terms. A man made for the cut and thrust of finals footy.

Its been a joy watching him re-emerge as a gun footballer.

21-09-2020, 12:47 PM
Libba junior is like his father, in that he is the barometer of the team's performance. If Libba (junior or senior) is playing well he drags the rest of the team along with him. So hard at the coal face, it must be very intimidating to get in the phone box with him.

Sedat
21-09-2020, 12:55 PM
The only time Libba hasn't been an A Grader since 2011 has been when he's injured and in 2017 when he took an unscheduled mental gap year. You could throw in a few weeks late in season 2012 when he took an unfortunate detour down King St at 4am on a Sunday morning, but even that was perversely impressive as he still got to training on time a few short hours later.

He is a star and still the 2nd best player on our list. His skill, vision, decision making and footy IQ are off the charts, and yet the media still think of him as little more than an in-and-under mid. He is that and so much more.

In 45 years of watching footy, I can only think of Greg Williams and maybe Sam Mitchell who have better vision and cleaner hands than Libba in traffic. That's pretty good company and well deserved.

I hereby apologise for thinking that he was cooked and that his body was not capable of executing at the level we saw from him in 2016.

I had honestly thought that it had passed him, but he has seriously proved me wrong.

I love how little attention is paid to him by all the media, the other week against the demons, Gary Lyon compared players off against each other and he rated libba as our worst mid. lolz not even i am that stupid.

Anyway, the guy is a gun, and i promise to apply the blowtorch of logic in my future thinking around our football family royalty.

In 2017 he did have a few shockers, but also played some very good games picking up, 28, 29 disposals in a few games. He was almost buried under ground by that mongrel Mumford early in the year which also didn't help him, but overall wasn't his best year.

Really good point. I quite like the shorter quarters. It seems like players iced the clock less to me and there wasn't as much chipping the ball around to run the click down.

Less stress when we were in front too. You'd look at the clock and realise there was much less time to go than you thought.

He attributed some of his season to the shorter quarters in an interview on SEN which BAD shared in this thread. Interesting chat, also getting plenty of time in the sea by the sounds of it, and less time on the track. He's probably getting heaps more time to invest in recovery than normal.

#1 in the AFL for clearances

#6 in the AFL for contested possessions
#8 in the AFL for tackles


The Pressure King, Tom Liberatore. (https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/922817/the-pressure-king-igniting-bulldogs)

Tom Liberatore’s output has been as important as any member of the Western Bulldogs’ midfield in 2021.


The 28-year-old hasn’t missed a game since the opening two weeks of 2020.


His performances last year saw him finish third in the Bulldogs’ best and fairest.


This year, he’s having a big impact again, and helping the likes of Marcus Bontempelli, Jack Macrae and Adam Treloar to do the same.


Liberatore is ranked among the competition’s elite in a number of areas.


His clearance work is a the top of the list.


Liberatore is the AFL’s leading clearance winner after six rounds, with 49, three clear of Hawthorn’s Jaeger O’Meara.


He ranks fourth for pressure acts with 159 – a tally led by a member of this week’s opposition, Jack Graham (167).


His ability to win the ball at ground level is fifth – just two behind four players tied for top spot – and he’s ranked sixth for contested possessions, and eighth for tackles.


On the offensive end, no midfielder has more score launches than Liberatore.


He sits eighth overall with 19 – surrounded by ruckmen from first to seventh, and ninth.


Plus being sixth in the competition for delivering the ball inside-50.


Not a bad start to the season for the influential Bulldog, who notched his 150th game back in round two.

Greg Williams was different. His hands were quick, but it was his vision and the way he used handball that made him so effective. He created space with his handballs, whilst Libba doesn't create space, but completely changes where the ball is.

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.

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.

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.

Yep. God forbid, if either of them never played another game, they?ve already woven their stories into RWB history.
