1 year extension coming up. 

No inside knowledge, just a matter of opinion.

    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 ..!!!

    The Dusty Deestroyer!

    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.

    Hibbo appreciation post. Having a stellar year. Essential that he remains fit for our finals chances imo

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

    Def another contract if he wants it.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
