I certainly want him next year. Who else would you play on Toby greene, or dusty, or jake stringer? To my mind, he is our best option for each of those, at least until Tomlinson is back

Yep, he’s a specialist lock down player. May be superfluous to play on an average player but is high value against big guns.

    I’d like to see Hibbo go around for one more year.  His lockdown role was a part of our excellent back 6. 
     

    But understand he’s had a lot to deal with in life and might decide the premiership year is his last AFL season.

    Hibberd signs on as Dees make last list changes

    Nice to see all of our Premiership players having the opportunity to run out for the flag unfurling next year.

    May not be a regular, but will push Hunt to get back to his best.

    Well done Hibbo and M.F.C

    He’s probably just enjoying a few weeks off before he puts pen to paper on a one year contract.

    How good is this to read "ensures all 23 members of Melbourne’s 2021 Premiership side are locked in for the 2022 AFL season"?

    What is Melksham's status?  There were rumours he was looking elsewhere during the trade period, but obviously nothing happened there.  Is he still contracted for next year?

    Melksham was already under contract for next year.

    Gives us the possibility to be the only team to play the same 22 that won the flag in the following season.

    Wow.  
     

    Though I’m sure guys like Joel Smith, Hunt, Melksham, Tomlinson (and Jordon) will be desperate to get back in the team and take their chance to experience a premiership. Having competition for spots makes us even stronger.

    I don't see why Hibbo wouldn't want to continue on next year, he's waited all his footballing life for success and now its stairing him right in the face.

    I can't wait to see him step up, take flight, rise to the occasion and tread a path to more Premiership glory.

    They said this on the news this evening. The same 22 in a premiership side all playing in Round 1 the following season had never happened in VFL/AFL history. How good is it to see your team breaking records, but in a good way. 😁

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
