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!

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
