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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
