Past #17: Mitchell Hibberd - won't be offered a new contract - thanks for your efforts Mitch

[King Corey]

Happened to be driving past princess park the other day and saw this guy busting his guts round the track. Looking extremely fit and if anything and even bulked up more. Something must be in the works?

Stop stalking me.

He has been pretty big and ripped for a few years.

He was always going to be a bit of a slow burn considering his extensive injury history as a junior and early in his AFL career. I hope he gets given a chance on our Rookie List. If not I hope someone else gives him a shot.

May have a connection to Bolt's from Tassie?

 

[Jasemon]

Really hope he gets picked up. Loved this kid. Hope we pick him up as a rookie but I know that’s highly unlikely.

Perfect place for him, he’ll kill it at Willi.

Could still make it back to the AFL if he cleans up his kicking.

Expect to see his development continue, Williamstown have excellent staff and facilities to get the most/more out of their players. Expect Hibbo to take Bewley’s position on the wing/midfield.

Just saw Mitch up here on the GC at the Mermaid Beach Surf club. Was with an older bald dude, his dad? Didn't have a beer the whole time, just water. Wonder if he's having a run with the Suns in the hope of being picked up?

he got really big all of a sudden

Should still be on our list. Scotts is Turkey. Pure and Simple. :stern look

And 17 other clubs that didn't pick him up as a free agent are all run by Turkeys too, it seems.

There are a plethora of *******s out there my friend. :stern look

Williamstown off-season program clearly better than ours.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Playing as an inside midfielder for Williamstown. Club been very impressed so far.

Been in the bests both games.

 

[Val Keating]

I saw him at the Good Friday game with a mate. I imagine he was there as a supporter. Good on him. Glad he didn’t lose his club because it didn’t work out for him on the field.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

23 disposals and 11 tackles for Hibberd on the weekend just gone.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Should NEVER have been cut.

Would you have taken one less pick in the rookie draft? Or delisted another player?

If it come down to it and we did have an extra list spot last year it would’ve been a tough decision between Mountford and Hibberd.

Hibberd was always a midfielder imo. Shame he didn’t get much of an opportunity there while he was on the list.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Was at the Williamstown/Port game

He is a class above the level in many ways but his disposal will, IMO, always be something that holds him back. Physically he's more than ready, but his skills do let him down

For a while. His decision making and execution will get better with time.

Ask yourself this, is there likely to be a better player with a 3rd pick in the upcoming draft?

Another 29 and 8 tackles against the Bees in the VFL

I’ll be very surprised if he isn’t on an AFL list next year
