Believe Cam Pedersen re signing was a big factor in Hibberd signing with MFC

Don't ridicule Pedo.

    Lewis said Hogan signing played a part in him coming to the Dees. Saty has made a joke

    You know ... coz Lewis said Hogan signing was a big factor ... take it down a notch in class for Hibberd/Pedo ... oh never mind.

    Thanks to both for the explanation.

    It may actually be the harshest thing Saty has ever said about a Melbourne listed player

    Instead of Pick 47 in this scenario, would it be worth more to us to try for their next years 3rd round pick? 

    I wouldn't have thought so as that would leave our draft selections this year as Picks 83 & 84.

    Wasn't ridiculing Pedo, his name was just far enough down the list of re signings to make the line slightly absurd  personally really like the bloke as a person and player. Think personally they asked Lewis to say the Hogan line, good vibes, think the 3 year offer and friendship with Todd Viney main factors

    There's no evidence of a high profile player nominating us as a preferred destination, hence you can't say that we've improved our attractiveness.

    Collingwood don't have a 1st round pick yet are gunning for O'Meara. There's always ways of getting the deal done, but you have to land the fish first.

    Ive heard his name pronounced 'Hibbaard', I would have assumed the phonetic Hibberd would be correct?

    tackling the big issues now.

    Well Leigh Montanya is Mon-tag-na. And Yay-ger O'Meara pronounces it Jay-ger.

    We'll just have to ask Yibbity Yibbida how to say his name.

    hibberd is an english name derived from the normans

    It means, "man who disgraced himself by the bad influence of ignoble people but who was able to redeem himself by leaving them and surrounding himself with wise and upstanding people instead".

    I'm convinced!

    We did shaft them.  Hibberd is a ready made gun and if he had nominated another club with a higher pick, he would have gone for that. 

    What I would like even more would be for us to shaft them, regularly, on the field too.

    Geez I'm pumped for round one. Think I'm going to go hibernate to pass the time. Off season is like a car trip interstate when you're a kid. It's better just to sleep it out. 

    Joking aside. Hilarious as it was. This is the first time in my rationally thinking life that it feels like we could really go somewhere. The pickups we have secured arent speculative, hopeful (although maybe I am) or stopgaps. They are good players that fill roles we are ready to fill, not desperately need to fill. 

     

    You're a smart young man. You must have an intelligent father.

    So should we call him Norman Hibberd?

    No, that is how you spell and pronounce it.

    Just read that intelligence is more likely apparently passed on by the mother. So he must have had an intelligent mother. ;)

    Considering the fact that I live with her, I will have to concede. She was intelligent enough to choose me as a partner.

    Is this Demonland's first father-son recruit?

    You're right. Let's give Lewis back. I really didn't want to give up pick 66 anyway

    My fault, I should have been less ambiguous ... what I meant was that our next year's second pick would become less appealing as a trade in the Hibberd/Essendon transaction if we were more likely to move up the ladder ... which is the case with Lewis onboard.

    Wouldn't give Lewis back for anything ...

    Hibberd kept a low profile compared to Lewis? No presser from Hibb?

    Different kettle of fish I think.

    Lewis was a big (and good) news story. Hibb will probably do an interview before 1st round, but I imagine that will be after he has a chance to be able to talk about being with the Dees during pre season. rather than the obvious questions about the other things :)

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
