    so sad about his brother getting lost at sea too. 

    I notice a fierceness in the way he plays since, have thought with no evidence, the game has become cathartic for him, he release some of that awful emotion from that loss into his play. And his attitude towards his teammates looks like love.

    Still playing his role, as long as he has that leg speed, it seems there will be a place for him. seems like a good bloke too, good person to have in the change rooms, got some calm heads down back which i'm sure is a huge part of our success

    This guy doesn't get enough credit. 

    To come back at 31 years old after everything he's gone through, and play the best footy with us since his AA year is an absolute credit to himself. I could easily see him going around again in 2022! 

     

    Is the fittest he has been even before 2018 I reckon.

    Had good year last year also and his disposal has  even a great bonus.

    Absolutely wants to keep playing as long as he can and would be highly motivated about the chance of success looking a big chance in the future.

    Great to see him bounce back once again. He always plays with an intensity that I think is helpful to our younger ones - both in example and to help them get out of jams.

    He’s definitely returned to the Hibberd of old lately, cool as a cucumber when he has the ball.

    I love players like Hibberd and Jeremy McGovern. They remind me of park footballers who have wandered into an AFL game and have a kick for fun. As others have said he comes across as a good bloke. Great his knickname is Pig. Antithesis of the robotic Tom Scully style footballer.

    Michael Hibberd has been quite the ⭐️ since he set foot in at the Dee’s, he obviously loves the players and coaches and always brings his best which is quite exceptional he did another great shut down on Cameron on Friday night. I agree with above posters reward his endeavours with a Contract extension ASAP.

    We love you Mr Hibberd ..!!!

    A no nonsense roll player of the highest order and a great club man.  Consistently reliable.  Coach's dream.

    Time for some pig love.

    This bloke is quietly compiling a very impressive season. His coolness under pressure is really something to behold and is infectious.

    Deserves to go round again next year if he is that way inclined. Our back six is sex and Hibbo is an important part of that.

    I agree, he has been brilliant since coming in.  I thought he was cooked last year but he has definitely proved me wrong.  I love the Pig!

    Wow. I had Hibbo marked as a retirement at end of 2022. But he’s got life back into the old dog.  His composure and decision making was right on last night. He might still retire but might even get an extension into 2023. 🤔

    Definitely gets another contract if he wants one. His age shouldn’t really come into it. Half of Geelong’s team are older than him and they aren’t going too badly.

    His turn around from two years ago is incredible.  I had him completely written off at the end of 2020 but he was a key player in our finals last year and has been immense since his return this year.

    Sign him up!

    Would have disagreed with you last week mate, thought he panicked multiple times and threw it on the boot and was too slow, but last night he was a very good and got into important positions, and showed poise as you say.

    The most telling thing for pig is he still has the turn of speed.

    Def another contract if he wants it.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
