Just to throw around some other possible scenarios, how would people feel about:

- Hibberd and Essendons 2016 2nd rounder (19?) - for - Our 2017 first found (12?)

- Hibberd and Essendons 2016 2nd rounder (19?) - for - Salem and our 2016 3rd rounder (46?)

- Hibberd - for - Grimes/other fringe player plus or 2016 3rd round (46?)

 

 

Just a straight swap with the 2nd round pick should definitely be enough.

I don't know why anyone would want to trade Salem he's all class.

Can't trade Grimes because he is a free agent, Dunn seems a more logical trade.

    Going to be interesting trade period, especially after the giddy heights of the last couple of years. After Round 2 for Hibberd, if we even get a pick in the top 40 or so, it'll be the result of some more Taylor/Viney magic. We don't even have a James Frawley ready to leave either, none of the players who might go are worth anything.

    Oliver, Weideman, Brayshaw, Petracca, Tyson, Salem.

    Guess the party had to end sometime.

    Great picks but the suffering involved in getting them was immense. Happy to leave that party!

    What about Hibberd for an unwanted member of our health & fitness staff.

    Absolutely! Proven player ready now vs a pick that may take 2 plus years to develop into something/or nothing at all.

    Hibberd fills a gaping hole in our defence that existed even before Lumumba got knocked out of the game. Our recruitment team has had him in their sights since before the start of the year and getting him across the line is a huge win.

     

    2nd round offer is a fair deal.... the guy is their best defender by far.

    If it seems fair to us, you can bet it wont seem fair to the drug cheats.

    Must be a great offer on the table from us to shake one of them from the tree.

    I must admit I don't know really anything about Hibby. 

    Can someone please explain and if this is a good move for us???

    Thanks in advance boys and girls. 

    It's a good move for us until he takes up another clubs offer. Then he's the sort of player we didn't really need anyway.

    Like as a second rounder. Has a bit of mongrel in him which will be welcomed.

    Now find me a second ruck and pacy mid in the mould of Isaac Smith and I'll be happy.

    Dons flogs are quoting the velvet sledgehammer along the lines of: Hurley was the o e they wanted, Dons would rather pay Mc-Tip half of what Hibb wanted.

    I could [censored] about mine and stu's Hibberd thread being merged with the Hurley one. And how five months worth of Hibberd discussion is now lost in that thread. But I'm above that.... *grinds teeth*

    Anyway, second rounder seems fair to both parties. Hopefully it doesn't get complicated further because Essendon.

    I'm in favour of the trade suggested elsewhere - Melksham for Hibberd.

    Dawes and Lumumba for Hibberd

    I'll be looking at Weideman as the equivalent of this year's first rounder.  But with a year already in the system.

    While I wouldn't have closed the thread, I'm genuinely surprised people wanted to retain two threads simultaneously discussing the same event. Ah well.

    Got this from today someone involved at the bombers:

     

    "Rumours swirling that Hibberd has been offered around 725k for 4 years from the Dees"

     

    That better be a joke. No way he's worth close to that.

    Our guns are still young. I think we are in position to front load a couple of 24 to 28 year old's contracts and make it work.

    Nah, it's only 600. And 125 in cash under the table to Goodwin.

    That has to be rubbish. 

    We do not have any player on $700k and for Hibbered to come in anywhere near that is an insult to our whole team! 

    Just can't imagine Mahoney and co agreeing to that when they have worked so hard to 'pay what a player is worth'.  If we have offered that, it makes a mockery of our paying 'what a player is worth' policy.  Total loss of cred with the players would result and the likes of Tom Mc would have every reason to be might pi--ed off.

    Agreed, I said as much the same to the source - my guess is just a bomber trying to justify losing a best 22 player.

     

    Like the velvety sledgehammer saying keeping Hurley and Walla = more important than having those dudes plus Hibberd.

    Would probably have cost us 550k to get him across. Might be 725k in the first year?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
