This is a guy who was in the best 22 for the best team in the comp, If he thinks he can go around for one more then so be it.

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.

Confirmed signing for next season.

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.

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

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.

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. 😁

I thought Declase showed promise. Disappointed that he's been delisted
