Garland can't take a tall either. Height isn't everything in a defender. 

i didn't say it was everything. i was just pointing out that whilst taller than puopolo 186cm is not tall these days.

whether you were impressed or not garland was often played on the opponent's 3rd tall

Sorry Redleg this post screwed up, I would never try and put words in your mouth.

Didn't think I said that.

Im intrigued by Hibberd, probably suits us as an upgrade on a Garland type, intercept mark 3rd tall type?

Hardly a tall at 186cms. He is shorter than Grimes. Garland is 191 cms.

Call me anything but late for breakfast I have a feeling that Hibberd is going to breakdown ( actually my white witch told me) for a long time. Hasn't the footy factory GWS got someone we can poach i.e Caleb Marchbank.

What at a fing [censored] you are John.

So we now know  how much manure to apportion anything Essendon hey !

The thing is I still despise  the AFL more. Dumbo will get away scott free.

LOL the tears from Essendope and Worsfold are great.  Nice feeling to be one of the clubs kicking them while they are down. I hope all other clubs join the party.

PD you were right to call me on my thinkings towards the 90's and woosha.  Quite seriously I wasnt focusing on those years at all and was late at night..but  granted ...fair call. i mistook the post for referencing  Worsfold's nefarious doings in general.( and later )  I still do.  He's a skunk

What involvement he had in the 90's...wtf  knows. History suggests many things. His directions in latter events in the Naughties however  seem to speak for themselves.

Does anyone else think that perhaps pj shouldn't have been so forthright about our interest and that hibberd might resent things being made uncomfortable for him?

Not if he's already made his decision.

Peter Moore, Kelvin Templeton 

The last thing we would want is to upset them .

We should offer Brian Royal as compo.

Don't know what they're complaining about, they poached Mark Neeld off us... ?

Melksham vs Hibberd? Hibberd all the way. Better player all round. Melksham I'm lukewarm on. Goes in hard, tries his guts out, but meh disposal. If one thing's been made clear to me this year (apart from how good we're gonna be in the next 5 years or so), it's that we need a little more pace and a lot more skill. 

Thought I'd paste a response from Nick Bowen on the AFL website trade chat today... Not ground breaking but worth a mention...

Question asked if we were chasing anyone...

Michael Hibberd is likely to be at the Dees next year. Dion Prestia also in Melbourne's sights.

He'll be a good replacement for Jetta if he leaves.

Keep up with the rumours Nasher .. oh sorry.... you're on Tassie time

Bowen on afl.com yesterday speculated that one VIC club is heavily interested in him and the 2 WA clubs are sniffing around. A contract extension was almost done and dusted earlier in the year but the landscape has now changed with Jetta.

I reckon something is playing on Jetta's mind and he's put in near career worst performances the last fortnight.

One of Jetta, T Mac or Watts will be gone IMO. We always lose a player a year.

We have to turn our list over by 3 each year. Let's hope its Terls, MJones and Grimes for Hibbert, Prestia and Hurley, rather than TMac, Jetta and/or Watts. Highly unlikely, but a guy can dream can't he?!

I'm on flu time unfortunately, this is the first time I've been online for any decent period of time all week.

You need to take three picks to the draft although I think a rookie upgrade can be classed as one. 

 

Maso if we trade in 2/3 we then need to turn over 5/6
