deebug 1,754 Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 I must say i had doubts about him, but i'm glad to admit i was wrong; he has played some very good footy this year and has helped the back line. So i have to say sorry Hibby. 2 Quote

Reminds me of steven icke. Not so much in style, more the fact that icky was a brilliant pick up (and also an excellent defender). Quote
In Harmes Way 7,869 Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 He reminds me of Brett Lovett gun. 1 Quote
Dappa Dan 2,188 Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Looked at him very closely in fantasy the year he was rubbed out. Had him very high indeed, almost a keeper. So when we targeted him I was doing cartwheels. I didn't think he'd be this good though. He's exceeded even my lofty expectations. The only downside... I wish he was 23. Quote

Stingray 157 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 “The experienced guys coming in have been really, really pivotal. Michael Hibberd has been unbelievable. He’s just been extraordinary..." gotta love Paul Roos! 4 Quote
Deestroy All 14,266 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Imagine if the Bombers still had him. Horrible thought. They'd have won a bunch more games with him in this form He's exactly what they need IMO. Eat [censored]. 6 Quote

deespicable me 1,584 Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 Both Hibberd and Melksham had great games yesterday. Hibberd was sensational. Robbie Grey and Wingard hardly got a possession. He's fast, heavy and he closes space so well, then his tackles stick. Port were badly outcoached letting Hibberd roam free like that. We used him so effectively coming out of defence. I think he'll get tagged more often. Quote
Nasher 33,686 Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 Doesn't tackle much, but when he does, they hurt. That tackle 15 metres out after the unluckiest bounce ever was an absolute ripper. I'm still in disbelief at such a good player landing on our lap. He hasn't had a poor game since joining. 4 Quote
Rodney (Balls) Grinter 11,064 Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 I don't actually notice him that much in games compared to other players like Viney and Jetta, but he just goes about his game in a no nonsense, business like manner and gets the job done, week in, week out. Quote

Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 Michael hibberd - 2017 best and fairest and recruit or the year leading Melbourne to its finals appearance in a decade. Quote
John Crow Batty 8,892 Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) A persistent problem for the last decade has been poor kicking skills. Hibberd and Melksham have made a huge difference in improving that. Edited July 23, 2017 by america de cali Quote
