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!

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
