We've done some stinking bad drafting and trading over the last 10-15 years, but getting Hibberd for a second round draft pick would have to go down as one of the best trades in recent of years, of any club.

I wonder how many other traded players got an AA in their first year at his new club.

The question now is whether he can maintain his form over the next 3 years or if 2017 was his peak.

it really pisses me off that they made the finals and we missed out. It's laughable that they think they're in premiership contention.

Yep, up the favourite players ladder, mighty fast. Fair, creative, driven, hard-working, effective, team man, short recoveries, fast hand and foot teamwork, covering for an immobile fullback. reliable. How far can the accolades go? Happy birthday, Michael.

Don't forget how effective and unexpectedly creative/lethal young Melksham (again from the Dons) has become - and fairly consistently across a season, too.

Absolute bit of genius from the trading department to snare this gem of a player. Happy Birthday Hibbo.

Hibberd and Melksham more than handy and best of friends as well.

Let's hope our players feel the same way, especially about the bolded part.

Only no-one's laughing. It's alarming and disturbing.
