    Happy with a 1 year deal.

    Another one ticked off the list, Still wonder what they're going to do with Jones

    I hope he goes around one more year in that playing assistant role, maybe plays 5/8 games as depth

    I thought he was very solid this year. His physicality in the back half is so important.

    If my brother passed away suddenly I would just fall apart. Amazing he was able to perform the way he did with everything else on top of that.

    Well done, Hibbo. A one year deal is a sensible move. I reckon he's got one more quality season left and then we'll have to reassess.

    He had a nice bounce back to form this season after a terrible 2019. 

    Was a phenomenal effort considering his personal tragedy earlier in the year.  Well done Hibbo.

    I hope we can get 100 games out of Hibbo. Very courageous and gives his all every game. I wish we had a few more like him.

    Hibberd can hold his own  I don't doubt his ability however one year deal is a good one and he can easily play a further year after that. Tough as nails

    One year deal makes sense.

    I suppose we will have to trade for a replacement at the end of 2021 as I can't see anyone pushing for his spot.

    Sensible contract for a player nearing teh end but think he has another good year in him.

    He really did have a solid year and that's what you want from him, rarely beaten, attacking and urgent. great backman assets.

    Absolutely P2J Hibbo nearly back to his best This season even his kicking.

    Takes a strong person to do what he did and was consistently near our best 5 each game. Deserves to start in Round1 next year opposite Riv on the HB flanks.

    Excellent. And a sensible time frame as well.

  • Quote

    Given the tragedy surrounding his year and then having to go into the hub environment he did a remarkable job.

    He also showed the value in dropping a senior player to a younger player (Rivers) a crack, Hibbo forced his way back in and looked so much more like his old self.

    Love Hibbo. Love calling his name when he goes near it. Champ.

    Well worth his spot for next year.

    Would love to see him take young Rivers under his wing. Impart some of his considerable knowledge and footy IQ and ensure the kid doesn’t experience any second season syndrome.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
