Grimes is a Restricted Free Agent - it amazes me how posters continue to bring up trades involving him.  He is free to go to any club he wants to and we would need to match the contract to force a trade.  This is not going to happen.

As the poster did not state a trade, they may have meant a 4th round as compensation, so it is is probably worth mentioning that 4th rounders are not available as compensation for free agents.

    Offer pick 945 for hibberd.

    If they dont like it, threaten to take it to court.

    Last thing they'll want is a very public reminder about what they did given all the positive press they have somehow been given recently, i reckon they should take pick 27 and run to be honest.

    This is all posturing and show biz. 

    Pick 27 is exactly what Hibberd is worth.

    The alternative is a player swap and it won't be any of our young guns. It would be like for like - a player worth around Pick 27 anyway. Someone around Hibberd's vintage and ability. 

    They would probably get a Jack Grimes type (yes, I know he's a free agent).

    If we give them anything better than pick 27 I will spew.

    [censored] Essendon.

    I hope we standup and play hardball on this one with Hibberd. I want the MFC to be the club that dictates the play.

    Too many times have I seen us be bullied by stronger clubs like Essendon.

    Makes me sick to the stomach.

    We should be showing Essendope zero respect.

    Offer them our third rounder, or try get him to walk as a delisted free agent.

    If Essendrug try to play hard ball, then drop interest altogether. We will get by just fine without Hibberd.

    Third rounder be buggered! Paul Connors is an " Astute" player manager. If he has done his homework he would have sussed out that in view of Essendrugs Zero Duty of care and flagrant flaunting of rules, means that any player suspended has an excellent case to put before the league if not the Courts for Unsafe workplace and as result suspension which has then provided player and manager with a "Free agent" clause. I would think that the AFL being heartily embarrased by their inept handling of the issue from the start, would not want a player manager threatening court action to free his client from an unprofessional and unsafe workplace.

    SOOOOO WINNER WINNER WINNER!!!

    We get him FOC ( Free of Charge) 

    Ah, just the way Fence likes it!

    Running with the bulls has got to be one of the stupidest past times I have ever seen humanity engage in.

    However,

    I will rely on Simon Goodwin here.

    Hi first time post here!

    Our record with ex Bombers doesn't seem too flash. Thinking Chris Heffernan, Gary Moorcroft, and now Jake who hasn't been allowed to play for a whole year!

    I hope we don't trade big here.

    If we lose to the Cats and Port win it could be 26. Get the bucket ready.

    Hibberd is a much more talented player than any of those guys. He will slot in nicely, into an area of the ground where we could certainly use an injection of the type of skills he will bring.

    You're probably right by insinuating we wouldn't be looking at Essendon players if we didn't have Goodwin, but the fact remains that we are. Why is this? Because Goodwin knows them intimately and understands what they will bring to his team in 2017 and beyond.

    Well I hope he is a good judge of quality AF would hate to see two busts.

    Well I guess he is used to injecting. But remember he has been out for 12 months could make a big difference

    That's the obvious issue, but I'm still confident he will be a better player than the others mentioned in that post.

    Essendon offloaded him to us so that we could pay his super payment. Did nothing whilst here, only fit for retirement.

    I don't even think his essedon career was impressive.

    A classic case of a soft outside player being made to look better than he really is, by talented teammates.

    That essedon chose to clear out the likes of Heffernan/Blumfield/Caracella around the same time as they started to feel the salary cap squeeze, says enough for me.

    Clever trading by the dons.

    Worsfold has said a second rounder is fair. Pick 27 it is.

    He did say 'early 2nd round' just to be pedantic

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
