WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - MICHAEL HIBBERD

On face value of the current situation, I would offer them the choice of this years third rounder or next years second rounder and let them process that.

At least next year we'll be back in the first round with better leverage to trade for an established A grader or take it to the draft.

I feel that the value of players so far during this trade period is below what we're used to seeing from years gone by. The points system may have something to do with this and clubs may just want to get deals done before it gets too complicated.

    Surely the Hibberd deal now can be done considering Jordan Lewis isn't leaving Hawks, I guessing the Lewis stuff caught us by surprise now can focus on Hibberd Trade

    Hawthorn have said Lewis is a required player, Lewis has not said he wants to stay at Hawthorn.  Not over yet.

    So we're going to offer Hibberd as a trade for Lewis?

    sorry no comments about Lewis on any thread except the trade thread.

    Contracts are meaningless if a player wants to leave a club. Why would you want to pay someone if their heart is no longer in it?

    The longer the Jaeger deal drags on the cheaper Hibberd becomes. If GC and the hawks can't broker a deal, Jaeger goes into the PSD with a 700k price tag on his head. If Essendon want him, they need to have 700k in cap space.

    If the Jaeger negotiations break down Essendon will need to dump Hibberd to free up 700k for Jaeger. If they carry Hibberd they are less likely to be able to sign Jaeger. 

    The dees are playing this very well.

    Just a side note, I expect Hibberd is around the 300-400k mark, so they might require another move also to free up space)

    LOL to whoever said this would be the first deal done during trade week.

    Plead guilty.

    I think I said the deal was done and it would be done early.

    Wasn't told we would change the deal and never thought we would. 

    Great if we get it done cheaper.

    As tends to happen in trade week i suspect a curve ball has come alone, i still personally believe the deal you suggested is what will get done

    O'Meara would go in the ND. Hawks are reported to be working on a deal with Brisbane for pick 3.  

    O'Meara 100% at Hawthorn.

    first rule of trade club...

    whatever ought to be the first and simplest trade will invariably go down to the wire and sometimes fail

     

    I dont think this will quite but a lot to go under bridges I think before its crystal clear and signed.

    Maybe, if Ess are hearing the scuttlebut about Rockcliff and Lewis they might be getting worried they will have to keep Hibberd, after all he said he is happy to stay.

    Ess had better hurry up and accept our offer - or it might be gone or diluted by the time trade period is over:cool:.

    Let them sweat, I say - they have no leaverage at all.

    We can offer to take Parish and/or Daniher as well if it would assist them.

    Interesting you mention this, the Swans are very keen on a ball user on half back, obviously Hibberd isn't the one they're keen on but i reckon they'll be sniffing around Salem.

    Awesome if true - we stared down Essendon down!  Dodoro blinked first, for a change!

    tbh I wouldn't care whether it was year or next year 2nd rnd but its good to not let them 'win'!!

    • 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.
