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".

    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 :)

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • 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.

      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.
