Traded Michael Hibberd [traded to Melbourne with pick 59 for picks 29 and 68]

[Unleash Hell]

yeah..and we get ourselves out of the shit hole unlike your half arsed mob who stuff things up and then go to the AFL with their hands out asking to be saved....Hey, i know, Lewis will be your captain in readiness for the next merge t Get with the program dude...going to this draft with pick 57 is going to haunt you for a long time...lock that one in...you will stuff around for a couple of years with a slice of hope around 9th 8th...then capitulate into a blithering mess like you have over and over again.

Why do i gwt the feeling you're talking about yourself....

Glad this trade got done. I think if you consider this trade in a vacuum then Melbourne probably had a slight win but nothing too consequential and really there wasn't a lot of options for how this one went. I'm glad we were able to accommodate the one player who wanted to leave after serving his suspension. He wanted a fresh start and I'm glad we were able to give it to him.

It might matter on bigfooty, but it doesn't matter at all that it took a week to sort out this trade. The key thing is it got done.
I think 29 is still a handy pick and we can look to bolster our midfield or ruck with it. Melbourne have themselves a fine rebounding HBF that is defensively solid and he should be good for 5 years worth of quality footy.

[Stevi_Tigers]

both teams should be happy melb over paid for melksham and if they slightly under paid for hibberd in the end it works it self out

 

[Dez!]

Like the fact that he always seems to be a constant threat to break free and kick a goal.

Fair amount of goals in his little get excited highlights for a defender.

Hahaha wow.
Funniest thing I've heard this week was Prestia yesterday saying the Richmond list stood out and he can't wait to play in strong midfiled with Martin, Cotchin.........**crickets** Myles and Ellis!!!
Bahahahahahahaha righto Dion!

As soon as he puts on a Melbourne jumper he'll be one of the best hbf's in the AFL

Well hey, at least you got something right here.

So it looks like this trade is Hibberd for Begley. All signs point to both sides being happy

 

[Capt Hindsight]

Melbourne fans should be very happy.
Got a bargain.
Luckily Essendon picked up Begley with that pick who so far looks very promising.

Very happy. Hibberd has been unbelievable, I reckon he'll win the BnF.

At first thought we got him cheapish because we overpaid for Melksham but he's come on too in the later parts of the year.

Need to give Begley a few more years to judge but Melbourne got an AA defender and is a long way in front as it stands.

Really gives creedance to the "fresh start" thing. After a big couple of years he'd def stagnated for us. He's back to his best now and it's great to see. Super player.

Like many of your players he seemed to struggle as the drugs saga wore on. I don't think you can really blame anyone in those circumstances.

Honestly feel his 2015 was underrated. He wasn't at his previous year's standards but was still a top 10 half back in the league IMO

 

[daffo]

I love Hibberd & I'm so happy that he got into the AA team. Well deserved.

 

[citizen-erased]

I'm expecting Hibberd to be average at best next year

Then AA

We also played a very slow game style that prevented Hibberd from finding space to run and had him continually corralled onto his right foot which is useless.
