The hard working defender conceded just 10 goals in his 14 games for the team and ranked third for intercept possessions this year. He polled ninth in the club's Best and Fairest count and received a contract extension for 2021.

    One of the real good stories this season for mine - looked to be finished but reinvigorated himself and became one of our most reliable defenders

    I have to agree with RBT I also thought that he may struggle but was pleasantly surprised by his strong come back in form.

    Really tough year for Hibbo, well done Michael. !!!!

    Great that Hibberd is playing in 2021 he is still a valuable piece in the backline where he can link and break the lines. 

    He is as tough as they come and will make his opponent earn the ball. Has kicked goals on the run and is one who does take the game on.

    A  real tough nut.

    I think he has been a standout player for us. A pity that Melksham can't say the same thing. A 1 year extension is probably right.

    An extraordinarily tough year personally losing his brother and yet he played his best season for some time.

    He was back to the Hibbo we know and love.

    Good on him for turning things around after a poor 2019 and start to 2020. His form in 2017 was brilliant, and this was the closest he has come to that level since. The 1 year extension was the correct call, and he may well get another one if he performs well this year.

    Overcame horrible adversity and a significant form slump in 2019, to finish top 10 in the Bluey.  An outstanding effort in the circumstances.   Well done Hibbo!

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
