This isn't true at all. Goodwin contacted him and he was on board before anything was agreed on. Wanted a fresh start, the drugs fiasco killed him. I'm sure it's hard for fans to take but he just wanted to GTFO.

Did you not listen to Hibberds interview?
Hibberd said leaving Essendon was one of the hardest things he had to do hardly sounds like a bloke who wanted to gtfo because of the drugs also said he'll be happy to stay at EFC if a deal can't be reached so again you are wrong.

Nah you can believe the press releases, I'll go with the horse's mouth.

No press release this came straight from Hibberd when he went on radio.

Yeah it's PR for the BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!
He isn't going to go on radio and upset y'all by saying he couldn't get out the joint fast enough.
Why not? Ryder and Carlisle did. Or certainly intimated it, whereas even Hibberd's father didn't believe he was leaving
No he wasn't, but he didn't need to say he was happy to stay if a deal couldn't be reached.

It always amazes me that opposition supporters suddenly have an inside source in your team when a trade occurs between two clubs.

nah, I'll leave that to you, like you've done in this thread. I heard hibberd talk about how difficult it was to leave Essendon, not sure why you're trying to play that angle when you're clearly wrong.

Things went well for you last time you didn't believe me about Hibberd too.

In your mind you won an argument on bigfooty, congratulations.
What's really funny is that you've remembered it and brought it up, you must have a boring life.
I heard Hibberd say that himself so I really don't care what you think you know.
Oh, and just so you realise, my original post was actually aimed at Eth-dog who claims to know exactly how much Melbourne footballers get paid through a magical inside source, so yeah, I know you'd like everything to be about you but it isn't. I actually didn't see your posts in this thread.

Fair enough, my bad. Yeah he was clearly making stuff up about the pay. Most of Hibberd's best mates are the banned Bombers guys so it would be hard to leave the club still doesn't change that he wanted a fresh start away from the club that ruined a fair chunk of his career.

As soon as he puts on a Melbourne jumper he'll be one of the best hbf's in the AFL
He already was imo.
It's entirely possible that Hibberd was unhappy with the whole saga of the past few years. I'd say all players involved would be. And maybe he wanted a fresh start. He's not a young a guy of the calabire of Heppell of Hurley who could cash in on the situation and he's not one or two years from the end. Means he can get a decent crack at a new club and an improved contract.

No
With all due respect this has been known for sometime.
Demons are not prepared to give up 2nd round pick by itself ... ball firmly in Bombers court. Dont think this deal will get done as quickly as many say ( unless Hogan goes which Im not prepared to speculate on )
Dees will either front up with pick 26 or something better than 26 or piggy will play with Essendon. How is the ball firmly in the Bombers court ? Dee's are doing the poaching, played is contracted and prepared to stay. I'd say the Dee's have to come up with a deal to satisfy Essendon

My understanding was the Demons have put an offer forward. Essendon not keen ... Also was told Essendon are not keen on paying players that would prefer to be elsewhere. I dont think he will be at Essendon and the offer will be less than pick 26 ... but time will tell.
