What i notice is the way other teams players treat his presence near and in the contest.....he just does not tolerate #hit !!

 

Hibberd has been superb every week since he came into the side. He is becoming an "elite" player very quickly. 

We haven't had an elite player since Robbie Flower. I am still not 100% comfortable with having Drug Cheats at The MFC, but i am very impressed with the way "Pig" Hibberd plays the game. 

He has September written all over him. 

Melksham took a bit longer to settle, but he is fast becoming a most important cog. 

His goal in the last Quarter was a Cracker to seal the game

This is also off the back of his article on Saturday about how the Bombers 'can beat anyone'.  Turn it up, Velvet.

Glad i didn't read that. I would have become violent!!

why is he allowed to write such garbage?

Similiar to his article on Hardwick a few weeks back, who is obviously a mate. 

Hardwick is a good bloke, but hardly coach of the year!!

It's a shame, too, as I usually don't mind his stuff.  But he let his bias get in the way big time, which is evident in him having 4 Bombers in his 'AA' team.

Doesn't Lloyd just look so uncomfortable and awkward on camera? It almost makes me uncomfortable watching him speak.

He has that micro gap between each word. Awkward and uncomfortable is a perfect description

He forgets what the Swannettes did a few weeks ago... :)

Lloydy reminds me of a pin cushion that's had all the air and cushion and pins lost from it.......

I don't actually notice him that much in games compared to other players like Viney and Jetta, but he just goes about his game in a no nonsense, business like manner and gets the job done, week in, week out.

He did gain over 800m in the game. You should watch closer :)

Our defence was seen as a critical weakness that would prevent us going far in the finals or even making it.... Until Hibberd came in and made an impact and they all started to gel into a well oiled machine.

We are still short of a big bodied defender now that TMac plays fwd..

Hibberd will win the Bluey this season if he keeps up his form (IMO).

Absolute top class player and ultra consistent

I think he is more bias than Eddie.. he can be hard to watch if the bombers have had a win. And suggesting fantasia had had a better year than Garlett is just laughable

Put another way, we're currently short a big bodied forward without TMAC going forward. 

Id like to see how we go on Ben Brown and Patton, Hipwood, McCArtin over the next month to reassess how our team defence handles a very tall forward now that they've found more sync.

Not much love for this guy that played his 100th game today.

Another great game and really put his body on the line in the last qtr (as did Oscar and Lewis).

The recruit of the year for mine and probably top 2 in the Bluey (altho he missed the first 4 games). I love having him at the Demons and he is one of the few players that i feel calm when the ball is in his hands. Very glad he chose the Demons. 


Love what he brings to the table, always makes a contest and you can bet he'll use it when we need him too.

Was desperate as always during some really crucial plays late.

 

So I am gonna assume he will be in the AA team.

We are on the verge of finals and he has been phenomenal.

If they put Howe or that Docherty bloke from 5 win Carltank in ahead of him the selectors should be hung.

The metres gained king and averaging 28 touches off half back combined with his immense courage....  surely will be AA.

Michael Hibberd: Missed the first four games due to an Achilles injury, but the former Bomber has been one of the competition's best defenders this season. Hibberd has been one of the recruits of the year, with the attacking defender averaging a career-high 28 disposals and ranking No.1 in the AFL for average metres gained per match (566.9m).

Two things i have noticed this year from Pig and Melksham. They both have a quality that i call the "PERSONAL" quality.

Several times this year when they have been shaded in the contest, in one on one, they both give  displays of REPEAT maximum personal effort, with no holds barred. They get up off the ground and go for it. No trainers, no pats on the back, just back into it. They are not the only ones in this side who do it, but i have noticed them make it personal........

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!

Yep.

Playing the Neville Jetta lock down role and doing it just fine. You talk about sacrificing your game well Hibberd's done that this year.

On form, he goes again next year.

 

he's playing a completely different role to the freeflowing running rebounder that he did in his all-oztrayan years for us

he's now very much a professional lockdown player and playing the role well

lock him in for 2022

Agreed. He is a lock in our best 22.  Another player having an excellent year.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
