Just to throw around some other possible scenarios, how would people feel about:

- Hibberd and Essendons 2016 2nd rounder (19?) - for - Our 2017 first found (12?)

- Hibberd and Essendons 2016 2nd rounder (19?) - for - Salem and our 2016 3rd rounder (46?)

- Hibberd - for - Grimes/other fringe player plus or 2016 3rd round (46?)

 

 

Just a straight swap with the 2nd round pick should definitely be enough.

I don't know why anyone would want to trade Salem he's all class.

Can't trade Grimes because he is a free agent, Dunn seems a more logical trade.

    Going to be interesting trade period, especially after the giddy heights of the last couple of years. After Round 2 for Hibberd, if we even get a pick in the top 40 or so, it'll be the result of some more Taylor/Viney magic. We don't even have a James Frawley ready to leave either, none of the players who might go are worth anything.

    Oliver, Weideman, Brayshaw, Petracca, Tyson, Salem.

    Guess the party had to end sometime.

    Great picks but the suffering involved in getting them was immense. Happy to leave that party!

    What about Hibberd for an unwanted member of our health & fitness staff.

    Absolutely! Proven player ready now vs a pick that may take 2 plus years to develop into something/or nothing at all.

    Hibberd fills a gaping hole in our defence that existed even before Lumumba got knocked out of the game. Our recruitment team has had him in their sights since before the start of the year and getting him across the line is a huge win.

     

    2nd round offer is a fair deal.... the guy is their best defender by far.

    If it seems fair to us, you can bet it wont seem fair to the drug cheats.

    Must be a great offer on the table from us to shake one of them from the tree.

    I must admit I don't know really anything about Hibby. 

    Can someone please explain and if this is a good move for us???

    Thanks in advance boys and girls. 

    It's a good move for us until he takes up another clubs offer. Then he's the sort of player we didn't really need anyway.

    Like as a second rounder. Has a bit of mongrel in him which will be welcomed.

    Now find me a second ruck and pacy mid in the mould of Isaac Smith and I'll be happy.

    Dons flogs are quoting the velvet sledgehammer along the lines of: Hurley was the o e they wanted, Dons would rather pay Mc-Tip half of what Hibb wanted.

    I could [censored] about mine and stu's Hibberd thread being merged with the Hurley one. And how five months worth of Hibberd discussion is now lost in that thread. But I'm above that.... *grinds teeth*

    Anyway, second rounder seems fair to both parties. Hopefully it doesn't get complicated further because Essendon.

    I'm in favour of the trade suggested elsewhere - Melksham for Hibberd.

    Worst comment I have seen

    Dawes and Lumumba for Hibberd

    I'll be looking at Weideman as the equivalent of this year's first rounder.  But with a year already in the system.

    While I wouldn't have closed the thread, I'm genuinely surprised people wanted to retain two threads simultaneously discussing the same event. Ah well.

    Got this from today someone involved at the bombers:

     

    "Rumours swirling that Hibberd has been offered around 725k for 4 years from the Dees"

     

    That better be a joke. No way he's worth close to that.

    Our guns are still young. I think we are in position to front load a couple of 24 to 28 year old's contracts and make it work.

    Nah, it's only 600. And 125 in cash under the table to Goodwin.

    That has to be rubbish. 

    We do not have any player on $700k and for Hibbered to come in anywhere near that is an insult to our whole team! 

    Just can't imagine Mahoney and co agreeing to that when they have worked so hard to 'pay what a player is worth'.  If we have offered that, it makes a mockery of our paying 'what a player is worth' policy.  Total loss of cred with the players would result and the likes of Tom Mc would have every reason to be might pi--ed off.

    Agreed, I said as much the same to the source - my guess is just a bomber trying to justify losing a best 22 player.

     

    Like the velvety sledgehammer saying keeping Hurley and Walla = more important than having those dudes plus Hibberd.

    Would probably have cost us 550k to get him across. Might be 725k in the first year?

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
