No chance that pig's flying surely

    In his podcast interview with Neroli Meadows in the off season, he said the premiership was just more fuel for his motivation, because he wants that feeling again. 

    I thought he was cooked with those repeat injuries early in the year.

    Now he’s flying. And I’d say playing better than he did at any stage in 2021. He was right place, right time last year when Hunt and Smith got injured in my view, and hung on to his place for the GF by the skin of his teeth. This year he is back to his best and firmly entrenched in the team. 

    Loving what the pig has to offer this year!

    Maybe the 3 months off were good for his body…

    I genuinely thought he would have been cooked this year. 

    Had the 'old man' with the repeated calf issues and I thought he'd be lucky to play 5 games.

    On the back of this year's form he absolutely deserves another contract. It's blokes like Hibbo that are valuable for the club fabric and morale off field more then on field.

    I love that he's played more games for us (96 so far) than he did for Essendon (84).

    Four more games and we'll have first dibs on his offspring and, if he plays next year, 200 games is within reach.

    Only long-term injury stopping him going round again. A competitive beast, and pure AFL standard. I watched him play Casey v Swans earlier this year as his warm-up to seniors return, and he played what can only be called a perfect game. Won EVERY contest, and delivered to teammates in open space downfield. It was a memorable example of the level difference between AFL and VFL. As an aside, Disco Turner was very close behind him, and watching his Casey game yesterday, the boy’s gonna be very very good when he gets his next chance.

    I would love to see Michael Hibberd play his 200th game with us and needs to go around again to achieve that. Love Hibbo.!!

    Highly underrated and hard as nails. The left boot and drive off half back is outstanding, on top of his ability to win a contest

    So grateful and surprised with his resilience - definitely deserves 200 with us! Unlike some of our other current players, you always seem to get what you expect from him. Sure, there were a few patches where his leg speed was up and down, but the skills, grit and contest ability are always there.

    I believe my maths are correct and the great man Mr Piggy notches up game 100 for the MFC in the first final.

    I've been a massive fan of the hard nut since his first game for the dees as a rebounding half back flanker.  I'm more of a fan now playing the more challenging and probably less sexy lock down small defender role.

    Still a best 22 player with ease and if he has a good run with the chassis, should get to 200 AFL games next year (needs 17 more).

    Now he's ticked the box for father son/daughters, time to get him out to stud.

    and thank god. His first quarter saved about 3 potential goals in the grand final. He was terrifc.

    Like most I expected that Hibberd would be forced out by the Casey youngsters this year but how wrong can one be.

    Does he and possibly Melksham go around again in 2023?

    I'd be giving him another year, the experience is something you can't buy and he doesn't know the meaning of giving up. He's a unique part of the 6 and I don't know if there is a ready made replacement for him yet. Joel Smith and Tomlinson are quite different, could Turner be that guy? Regular Casey watchers would know better than I.

    Well done Hibbo, love everything you've broiught and continue to bring to MFC.

    Well done Hibbo/Pig!

    That is definitely wonderful to hear that Michael Hibberd will be up to 100 games for the Melbourne Football Club.

    Hibbo is definitely one of my favourite players.

    Hope he gets to drink from a brand new Premiership Cup for the Melbourne Demons too! :lol:

    Turner is more likely to replace Petty as 2nd KPD, while Petty takes over May's no 1 KPD.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
