Believe Cam Pedersen re signing was a big factor in Hibberd signing with MFC

Don't ridicule Pedo.

    Lewis said Hogan signing played a part in him coming to the Dees. Saty has made a joke

    You know ... coz Lewis said Hogan signing was a big factor ... take it down a notch in class for Hibberd/Pedo ... oh never mind.

    Thanks to both for the explanation.

    It may actually be the harshest thing Saty has ever said about a Melbourne listed player

    Instead of Pick 47 in this scenario, would it be worth more to us to try for their next years 3rd round pick? 

    I wouldn't have thought so as that would leave our draft selections this year as Picks 83 & 84.

    Wasn't ridiculing Pedo, his name was just far enough down the list of re signings to make the line slightly absurd  personally really like the bloke as a person and player. Think personally they asked Lewis to say the Hogan line, good vibes, think the 3 year offer and friendship with Todd Viney main factors

    There's no evidence of a high profile player nominating us as a preferred destination, hence you can't say that we've improved our attractiveness.

    Collingwood don't have a 1st round pick yet are gunning for O'Meara. There's always ways of getting the deal done, but you have to land the fish first.

    Ive heard his name pronounced 'Hibbaard', I would have assumed the phonetic Hibberd would be correct?

    tackling the big issues now.

    Well Leigh Montanya is Mon-tag-na. And Yay-ger O'Meara pronounces it Jay-ger.

    We'll just have to ask Yibbity Yibbida how to say his name.

    hibberd is an english name derived from the normans

    It means, "man who disgraced himself by the bad influence of ignoble people but who was able to redeem himself by leaving them and surrounding himself with wise and upstanding people instead".

    I'm convinced!

    We did shaft them.  Hibberd is a ready made gun and if he had nominated another club with a higher pick, he would have gone for that. 

    What I would like even more would be for us to shaft them, regularly, on the field too.

    Geez I'm pumped for round one. Think I'm going to go hibernate to pass the time. Off season is like a car trip interstate when you're a kid. It's better just to sleep it out. 

    Joking aside. Hilarious as it was. This is the first time in my rationally thinking life that it feels like we could really go somewhere. The pickups we have secured arent speculative, hopeful (although maybe I am) or stopgaps. They are good players that fill roles we are ready to fill, not desperately need to fill. 

     

    You're a smart young man. You must have an intelligent father.

    So should we call him Norman Hibberd?

    No, that is how you spell and pronounce it.

    Just read that intelligence is more likely apparently passed on by the mother. So he must have had an intelligent mother. ;)

    Considering the fact that I live with her, I will have to concede. She was intelligent enough to choose me as a partner.

    Is this Demonland's first father-son recruit?

    You're right. Let's give Lewis back. I really didn't want to give up pick 66 anyway

    My fault, I should have been less ambiguous ... what I meant was that our next year's second pick would become less appealing as a trade in the Hibberd/Essendon transaction if we were more likely to move up the ladder ... which is the case with Lewis onboard.

    Wouldn't give Lewis back for anything ...

    Hibberd kept a low profile compared to Lewis? No presser from Hibb?

    Different kettle of fish I think.

    Lewis was a big (and good) news story. Hibb will probably do an interview before 1st round, but I imagine that will be after he has a chance to be able to talk about being with the Dees during pre season. rather than the obvious questions about the other things :)

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
