Gilbert, one of the revelations of 2007, played as a general defender proving he had an ability to find plenty of the ball between Rounds 16-19 when he averaged 21 disposals. In the last month of the season he was given added responsibility, playing on half-forwards Ryan O'Keefe, Chris Judd and Brett Deledio, and conceded a respectable 20 goals in total for the season. In the games he played he ranked second at the Saints in spoils, third in marks, fourth in tackles and fifth in rebound 50s.
