Well Bernie definitely stays in now.

    I think people are underestimating Hibbo's season.

    Not as outstanding as last year - but in m opinion still very good.

    Big games from Vince and Lewis needed. Might also see Salem play deeper?

    Wager is the like replacement but Smith if we want to cover defensively could be the option.

    We are getting to the point where players are asked to replace those they just can’t replace. 

    Our best mid and now our top 2 defenders...

    The passage way to September is getting narrower.

    Is Hibberd irreplaceable? He’s a good player, but I don’t see this one hurting anywhere near as much as losing Viney or Lever.

    I think you underestimate the run and drive he creates out of defence. He is a big loss especially when compounded with the losses of Viney and Lever.

    That's just about 1 injury too many FFS

    I reckon we should start Fristch on HB.  we need some run and class back there now. he looked comfortable down there

    Waggers and Tyson in for Hibbo and Hannan

    Wagner in for mine. We will survive.

    It’s probably a controversial opinion but I reckon his ball use when at full tilt (ie creating run and drive) is often sub-par. I’ve seen him kick it directly to the opposition as often as not. I honestly think Smith or Wagner can cover that aspect of his play. 

    It’s his contested work and support for his teammates in the back half that I think we will miss.

    Bummed about the injury! Oh well...

    I would play Bayley Fritsch in Hibbos spot... Fritsch is a Star! 

    VDB to come in and play half-forward.

    Wagner is the other obvious choice with Smith...

    I am definitely more comfortable with #31 down back though! His beautiful raking left boot out defence is a must...

    You beat me too Bayley HBF good kicking skills rotating with Salem, need to bring in a defensive backmen too play 3rd tall either Smith or Pedo.

    Rubbish.  Hibbo is a decent loss, but we have players who can come in and play a role for us.  Time for a few to stand up.

    At first I was afraid, I was petrified
    Kept thinking I could never live without Viney, Lever and Hibberd in our side
    But then I spent so many nights thinking how the dees have done me wrong
    And I grew strong
    And I learned how to get along

    And so when you're back
    You can thank Omac
    For making the finals and removing that sad look upon your face

    Because finishing 9th would have been such bad disgrace 



    Did you think the dees would lay down and die?
    Oh no, not I, we will survive

    Hey, hey

    Thinking you might be right, time to get creative, everyway must lift.

    The one aspect of his game that may be hard to replace is metres gained - he averages 402m gained a game, second only to Gus.  We will need a few players to step up together to cover for this run off half back.

    The thing about the possible selection of Wagner, is that he is hardly setting the world on fire in the twos.

    Hmm. Maybe I am underestimating his drive.

    Oh well, we’ll see how we go.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
