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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
