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.

    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.

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

    • 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?
