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. 😁

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
