Michael Hibberd

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I'd give him 3 in a heartbeat with a trigger for 4.

Yep be happy with that.

1. Free Agency period starts before trade period
2. He's unrestricted.

Wrong. He's a restricted free agent.

Free agency starts the Friday before the trade period kicks off on the following Monday. There is an overlap of 10 days for free agency and the trade period so plenty of time to make a deal. This is how the Dangerfield deal went down last year.

Reckon he will stay at Richmond.

Should be worth more then Melksham was! I'd hope for end of first/early second range.

Milkshake was worth a 3rd rounder at best, we were idiots and overpaid. Hibberd's worth what we paid for Milkshake.

 

[Tulip]

Yeah, I don't think we're going to pay relative to what we've paid before. Each deal on its individual merits. Goodwin obviously wanted Melksham enough, and knew that pick 43 (I think) was too little so decided to get it done quickly and slightly overpay. Assuming we have a pick in the region of 25 again, we wouldn't upgrade that to make it relative to what we paid for Melksham. 25 is around Hibberd's range.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

If Hibbo wanted out I’d take a second rounder without much thought.

Happy for Tippa to play his role.

I expect that deal would go through quite quickly.

 

[The 747]

Perfect target for Geelong IMO with Enright and Mackie close to the end.

We've got nothing to trade with.

Your current and future second round picks would be around the mark

Possibly but our first is gone and I couldn't see us going to two consecutive drafts with only picks above 50. I'd like him at Geelong but would be surprised to see us do that, I think we are more likely to trade into this draft than out of it.

Could throw in whatever we could get for Howlett (maybe pick 48) for your 3rd round pick?

We won't get anything for Howlett. Later picks have clear value now with the point systm

Why wouldn't we get something for Howlett when West Coast and Fremantle have no F/S prospects that will be bid on before their 3rd round picks? That system is only useful for that and academy.

Perhaps, depends how we rate the draft - we didn't rate it last year and traded accordingly.

Unfortunately Walla doesn't have the intercept marking prowess of Hibbo.

We could have the best back 6 in the game if Hibbo signs on, hope it's the case...

 

[schmuttt]

Would Essendon take our 2nd rounder for him? What would be seen as a fair deal?

 

[Jade]

Had this conversation. I probably would (which I suspect will be pick 24-30), however others disagree with me.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Would Essendon take our 2nd rounder for him? What would be seen as a fair deal?

I would out of good will personally. I see him worth around pick 20ish, but you guys did us a solid last year with melksham. Would be happy if we returned the favor.

 

[Milanista28]

What players do Melbourne or the cats have to trade?

Would a Lincoln McCarthy for Hibberd swap be fair?

Fair for who? Considering his status , id have thought anything for Hibbard is a bonus.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Would love for us to get Hibberd.

Go and have a read through the Jake Carlisle thread from last year and then come back to me. Or better yet, just jog on...

What are you talking about?

 

[Turbocat]

What are you talking about?

Is he a FA or not?

 

[Milanista28]

Is he a FA or not?

No will need to trade.

 

[Turbocat]

No will need to trade.

OK ...my error... as a probable FA..I could only really see you getting players just better than DFA's. GHS or Luxford for eg.

If geelong were to trade for him..they would have to balance his age V now need. Geelong rate Linc.. but Id say it would discuss a trade ... he would be our best FP option atm , and is only going to get better.

 

[foj1]

2nd round pick to Melbourne.
I reckon melksham trade was as smooth as possible ford odorous and this will be as we'll if hibbo wants out.
Fair player to get in a weak draft.
