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.

The Mounties always get their man

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?

 

 

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

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 :)

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
