The veteran defender eked out every ounce of energy in his aging football body and despite injuries that limited the number of his senior appearances, he was still a valuable member of the team right up to the end when he announced his retirement 

He's a specialist and a keeper if we can.

The thought of he and Melk together in a combined flag winning coaching success, makes me lick my palate in unmitigated ironic glee...

Hibbo has always been an honest, ‘heart and soul’, true (red & blue) contributor to our Great Club, ever since he first joined our ranks!  He has always given his all, even through the hardest of personal times, and is a Premiership player to boot!  All the very best Hibbo, for whatever lies ahead!

Hibberd has been a wonderful servant of the club since crossing prior to the 2017 season - can't ask much more than a premiership and an All Australian from him.

I don't blame him for playing on after 2021 given the late start to his career, but his body has increasingly let him down and the club probably should have given a nudge at the end of 2022. 

Good luck to Hibbo for the next stage of his life.

Had a great career at the MFC, particularly his first season of 2017 when he made the AA team. One of our better trades in recent years.

Was a victim of Goody's roulette selection wheel in the 2023 finals series as he was dropped for the Blues final.

Michael Hibberd was a family favourite from day 1, his is a great footy story from late starter at Frankston VFL to becoming an All Austrians and Premiership player at the mighty Dees. A real character who suffered a number of challenges in his life (EFC) and the loss of his much loved brother in a boating accident. We loved his determination and never be beaten spirit, hard tough uncompromising footballer. Trust comes to mind with Hibbo, will be hard to replace.!
