    I thought Hibberd was great at winning a contest but his disposal was very unreliable when he got it.

    Hibbo played a solid game. Had some important intercepts and defensive clearances.  88% disposal efficiency. Played 3/4 only and still not imv 100%.

    He has lost a yard of pace this year which might be why we have been playing him as a third tall instead of on the smalls, with Bowey, Rivers and McVee doing the smalls.

    Definitely not 100% fit, however, he still gets the oppo’s best small/medium forward (Zurhaar).  18 disposals in 3/4 at 88%. My kingdom for such unreliability.

    They’re asking Hibbo & Rivers to play extra tall on occasions this year so they can get Petty out of the backline which was absolutely necessary to increase their ball speed out of defence. 
    IMHO, you can’t play Lever, Petty, May & Brayshaw in defence against many teams that don’t have 3 super tall forwards as they are all slow movers of the footy. 
    The game demands that your defenders play on and transition the ball quickly into your Forward 50 and those 4, generally love to go back off the mark and assess their options, in the modern game, that equates to an eternity to get it moving.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!
