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.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
