| NEWS: Gibson is being sung his praises after Round 18's efforts and has certainly cemented his spot in the Best 22. North Melbourne Coach Brad Scott said after Saturday's match "I think he's been outstanding, I've always had a lot of time for 'Gibbo'. I've got a lot of respect for the way he goes about things and the way his football journey's been a long and arduous one. But he's just an absolute credit to himself. We're rapt to have him at the club. He's a terrific role model. He's an outstanding professional and he's just a quality person. He's improved our footy club - not just our performance but our whole club. He's a pretty impressive young man. It was great for him to get some reward today but it's based on hard work." | ||||

| NEWS: Gibson told AFL.com.au after the match against Gold Coast "That's the plan (to play more senior footy). I've waited this long for it so I don't plan on jumping out anytime soon. [Coach Brad Scott] came to me during the week and said there was an opportunity to promote a rookie and it was going to be me. Now I just have to play my role every week". Coach Brad Scott said after the game "He's a great story. He's a mature-age player who's had to work really hard for everything he's got and we were really pleased he could come into our side. His story is a story of persistence and a really good one for our players. Sometimes you can work extremely hard and not get reward for your effort but if you persist long enough, eventually you'll get the rewards. We were really pleased to bring him in tonight and I thought he acquitted himself really well." | ||||

| NEWS: North Melbourne Coach Brad Scott said on Wednesday."It's a fantastic story for 'Gibbo'. He's a really top quality individual, a great character and someone we think can really add to our side. He's an elite endurance athlete and we need some more run and spread through the midfield and we think he can give that to us. It's been a long time coming for Sam but it's a credit to his dedication and persistence." Gibson could very likely become a very valuable fantasy proposition. | ||||
