And at home, he gets into bed and receives a text from the club reading "Donate to the flight plan?".

That's why.

Tight-ass kid should've donated to the Flight Plan, and then maybe Pig's hammys wouldn't go ping. Perhaps Little Jimmy isn't as passionate as the administration of the football club.

Yes and yes I vote and yes I have read the constitution..

Any more questions?

What that has to do with anything is beyond me but whatever..

Oh and before you ask, I will donate to the flightplan...
 
Re: #43: Michael Hibberd - Will miss "three or four matches"

It appears in order not to disappoint Mumbo's 'Little Jimmy' we have been sent an email EARLY to ask to donate to the flightplan...

So at least he shouldn't have to worry about that pesky text message after the game...
 
Re: #43: Michael Hibberd - Will miss "three or four matches"

Anyone know how Hibbo is tracking, in line for a call up next week to replace Hardingham? Didnt they say a 3 week injury, its been a month now.
 
Re: #43: Michael Hibberd - Will miss "three or four matches"

More Pig, less Spike required.
 
Re: #43: Michael Hibberd - Will miss "three or four matches"

I think he's too smart a player to need it Yacdaddy, I reckon he'll end up as Sub.

Re: #43: Michael Hibberd - How far away? AFL or VFL?

Bring back Hibberd! The public demands it!
 
Re: #43: Michael Hibberd - How far away? AFL or VFL?

A guy from my work used to play with him. He met up with him this weekend.
- He thinks he is a week away
- It was always going to be a 5-6 week injury
- Hibo thinks he is ready to go now but Essendon is keeping him back
- Could come into the side this week for the Melbourne game. If not, deff for Sydney

Essendon thinks he is in his best 21 and he will come straight back into the senior side. No bendigo for him.

Essendon is correct, then.

Best 18, even.
 
Re: #43: Michael Hibberd - How far away? AFL or VFL?

I'd like to see him blow out the cobwebs at Bendigo, but it could only be because I haven't seen him return from a spell to know whether he can come straight back in and pick up the pace of the game or not. If he can do it, why not?

Salivating at the prospect of a backline of Hooker, Pears, Fletcher/Carlisle, Hardingham, Hibberd, Dempsey though. It is tantalisingly close.
 
Re: #43: Michael Hibberd - How far away? AFL or VFL?

If the team is confident in his fitness I don't see why he wouldn't come straight back into the side. If not starting then as the substitute.

He always seemed comfortable at the top level and his ability in intercept marking is something we can't really pass up on when we have the option.
 
Re: #43: Michael Hibberd - How far away? AFL or VFL?

Houli or Hibberd?

Give me Hibberd any day of the week. Actually prioritizes defence instead of skulking around HB looking for easy possessions.
