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.

So good to get a goody (in fact more than one) from the Druggers, after Moorcroft, Heffernen etc

I forgot about those two, you are spot on, we have struck gold with this one.

And we all know how we love to see a #*$$@! off druggie supporter:lol:

Hasn't put a foot wrong all year, one of the best recruits I've seen since following the Dees. 

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).

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.

“The experienced guys coming in have been really, really pivotal. Michael Hibberd has been unbelievable. He’s just been extraordinary..."

gotta love Paul Roos!

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.

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.

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.

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.

His disposal stands out like dogs balls it's that good.

Michael hibberd - 2017 best and fairest and recruit or the year leading Melbourne to its finals appearance in a decade.


Posted (edited)

A persistent  problem for the last decade has been poor kicking skills. Hibberd and Melksham  have made a huge difference in improving that.

Hibberd is now in Lloyds rolling All Australian team on the SUnday Footy show. Our only player in the team.

And of course the biased clown has 4 Essendrug players in there  - including Fantasia, ahead of Jeff Garlett - what a joke.

This is also off the back of his article on Saturday about how the Bombers 'can beat anyone'.  Turn it up, Velvet.

Forgot to mention that not only did he add Fantasia in ahead of Garlett, but he dropped Betts for him too.

No bias at all of course.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
