Those fawning over Braysure's every word are starting to look a bit silly now.

Why?. He actually said Hibberd would probably become a Dee when he tried his second alias.

Our 2016 2nd rounder for Hibberd will be a reasonable result.  Essendon may be interested in a player like ANB, their inside midfield could do with a boost - 2nd last for both clearances and contested possessions, might be a later pick swap in their favour required.  Those hoping to pay less will be disappointed.

No-one is fawning over him, simply pointing out he was right and those who questioned his input were wrong.

I wouldn't clear ANB.

I'm absolutely positive that essedon will ask for a lot more than that.

Why did the Hibberd thread get merged with this one? Hurley is no longer relevant.

 

Because there was two concurrent threads going on the same topic.  Not sure how the software picked the title, but the OP is P_Man's post from the original "Michael Hibberd" thread.  I don't see "Michael Hibberd and Michael Hurley" a massive difference to "Michael Hibberd", especially when everyone had all but stopped talking about Hurley.

Braysure was a troll who would offer an Essendon point of view to every discussion he participated in.  Hurley singing at Essendon is Braysure fluking a guess at what was going to happen amongst all his other incoherent ravings.  In fact, as Hurley was always favoured to stay at Essendon, it's hardly a commendable piece of guesswork.

And he chopped and changed his mind on Hibbert regularly, finally claiming he would laugh in all our faces.

Some claimed he was 100% right, which is easy to do when you hedge your bets.

KC from Casey has started a Michael Hibberd thread.

I think that in the event that we do complete a trade, it would be a good idea that we continue the tradition of welcoming new players to the club with their own dedicated thread.

Since, Hurley's now out of the picture, I believe this read should now end and we concentrate on one player.

Well if I'd known you were going to do that, I'd have just closed the 'Hurley and Hibberd' thread instead of merging it with the existing 'Hibberd' thread.  Booooo.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
