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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
