I wrote him off too but he has been very good for us this season.  Having said that I wouldn't offer him another year.  He has shown signs of panic this year on field which is a sign that the end is approaching.  Lewis and Yze are two that struggled when they went too long.  He's also had calf issues which as we know is an "old man's" issue.  So at best he's got a year in him I reckon.

But more than that we have two young kids at Casey in Bowser and Rivers, who will be long term players for us, and Hibbo is keeping one of them out.  I don't want to be like Geelong who lost Jordan Clark because they "couldn't fit him in". 

I accept I'm probably in the small minority here, but I think saying farewell half a season too early is better than keeping him perhaps one season too much.  He's been a fantastic player for us whenever he leave will be fondly remembered.

Just to let you know I don't agree with this. Hibberd is family in my book and he will know when to go. Clark went because he wasn't up to it fringe player  and receiver in my book. Plenty of time for kids to age and play with plenty of successful leaders in our group now.I don't remember Yze struggling either.

Hibberd will get another year if he wants it.

Just noticed - I think this is Hibbo’s 100th as a demon

Lost in the wash?? Or have I missed something

Hes getting somewhat long in the tooth for a defender but he's doing a seriously good job.

I hope he stays on for another year.

Maybe he will do a Fletcher.

PS Hi to Charlie Cameron.

One of the handful of defenders that has kept Buddy scoreless in a game during his career. Time for a repeat.

I thought May would get Franklin but if your correct why change.

No I think they just ran out of basketballs.

He and Hibbo will really benefit from the week off and freshen up.

Big game from him Friday

You’re right. The week off has thrown me.

Well actually it was @Sideshow Bob who provided the correct information. Maybe he needs the apology?

[DubDee 25,530]

One of the few defenders that you can trust 100% every single week
