Well done and good luck next season.

 

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.

Pleased about this, a real Demon warrior!

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 


Michael's is one of those stories, isn't it.

Nice then.

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.

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.

  • 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?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
