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.

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
