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?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
