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!

This wins typo of the day.

Oh that wasn’t a typo my friend.

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. 

Edited by Bang Bang Bang

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
