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 :)

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
