Not surprising, but he's going out while still playing good footy. I thought that after quarter time he killed Elliott who is s good player. 


He's been great for Melbourne - and we've been great for him.

 

A true hard but fair player.

He, and the team, must be having mixed feelings with what happened to Gus.

Thanks for your service Hibbo. 🫡


I have loved watching him play in red and blue. He gave you everything he had every contest, every week. Left nothing on the field and took nothing for granted. 
Was an enormous part of our 2021 flag. 
Thank you for all the wonderful years you’ve given to our club. I hope you enjoy life after footy! 

I will always remember Michael Hibberd running across Optus Oval with the Premiership Cup in his hand to share it with his brother. Thank you Hibbo a very hard tough team oriented player whose shoes will be hard to fill.❤️💙

Great pick-up for us.

Thanks for the memories Pig and best of luck in retirement. hopefully a second flag before you ride into the sunset.


Wonderful team player. Tough ,focused  and a Goodwin contested footy beast.

 

Soon to be dual premiership player.

Love Hibbo. Didn't know much about him before he joined but that first game he played I think against Richmond the dash and hardness was in full display. Kicked a goal with one of his first possessions. a well deserved AA that year as well. So glad he got a premiership. Will always be remembered fondly by the demon faithful. Let's give him 3 more games 

What a hard,contesting  team player - a key to the '21 flag. Thank you Michael.

Cheers, Champ. Devastated  that I will no longer be able to bellow "HIB-BOW-AH!" at the tele every time he gets the ball...


Been a great player. Another reason along with gus to pull out all stocks and win the flag.

Has always played his heart out for the team. Pity his body can't take another season because he is definitely still in our best 22 when fully fit. Every Demons fan will wish him well.

He’ll be remembered as a Premiership player. I reckon that seems right.

I’ll miss yelling out ‘go Pig!’ every week.

Congratulations hibbo!

I'm sure the kid from Frankston when he was drafted would never imagine that he'd pump out nearly 200 games at AFL level and win a flag.

A great reminder that if you miss out in getting drafted at 18 to just persevere and never give up on your dream.

Thanks for your service Pig. Now a life member and premiership hero.

So glad he came to the Dees, it has been a privilege watching him play. Best wishes for the future, Hibbo.


Loved what he brought to us. No nonsense, fair, tough, a little bit understated in many respects. I had the great joy of explaining the "Hibbo run" after the 21 flag, when he grabbed the cup and sprinted away from his team mates, laughing, as he took it over to his family.

How good is that.

Round 2 pick for a premiership player and an All Australian.

Big part of the 2021 flag.

Well gone Hibbo, the GF will be your 200th - go out with another flag!

 

I hope he gets one more chance to steal Charlie Cameron's motorbike. 

He has been a fantastic player for the Demons!

I will definitely miss Michael "Pig" Hibberd. He plays with toughness and determination. I love his hardness and desperation when he plays.

"Pig" will always be remembered as a wonderful Premiership player for the Demons!

We love you mate! 💗

ALL THE BEST PIG! YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A DEMON!!! 🔴🔵👹

Incidentally, this is another reason we should look to try and recruit Josh Sinn from Port Adelaide.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
