Opinion What is Hibberd worth?

[TheCount]

After all the compo picks are sorted and academy bidding it will no longer be a second round so the Dees will need to come up with something else.

Good thing he's happy to stay at Essendon I guess.

I don't understand what Academy bidding has to do with it tho. While the number goes up, the player that was taken with the available pick stays the same.

Example, last year we had Pick 3 and 7, we ended up taking Oliver with 4, and Weideman with 9, but both were still the 3rd and 7th available players taken, given that Mills and Hopper were never actually available to start with.

I hope he does.

He can leave next year if he wants when he becomes a FA and we will get a adequate pick in 20-23 bracket.

The Bombers have openly stated that they won't stand in the way of any banned players who want to leave the club.

I don't think you'll be playing hard ball on this deal.

I still reckon next years second rounder will get this done.

So you don't see the Bombers getting out of the bottom 4 next year? Not trolling, genuinely interested to hear what fans expectations are for next year.

 

[billyboutsis]

Seriously?

Thats what i thought too when i read it

 

[Tulip]

Is this happening, or?

It's happening. Got a feeling it's waiting on the O'Meara deal.

That's a pretty tight range you have there. I'd suggest you, like us given the magic formula the AFL use, actually dont have much of an idea where at all the compo pick will lie

 

[Sando22]

He's worth whatever JT decides he worth

 

[boncer34]

I genuinely forgot this was still going on.

No doubt just being held up by other deals.

Bullshit you did bonce

I actually did haha.

Came to the board for opinions on Lewis, saw this thread and went "oh **** this hasn't been done yet."

To be fair I think half of us have forgotten, the Maybloom filth shitting their collective britches has been entertaining.

 

[R_Grunter]

Not sure if you're incredulous at his spelling or the suggestion, but I'd do VDB for Hibberd in a heartbeat.

Isn't AVB the standard, not VDB?

 

[R_Grunter]

Your right my bad.

Still it's becoming rather a useless 2nd round.

29 and a replacement ribbon for Jobe.
Done.

AVB is too close to ANB.

 

[R_Grunter]

AVB is too close to ANB.

Agreed. VDB it is then.

Essendon have backed themselves into a corner, they're negotiated new contracts with their players on the basis that Hibberd is going.

They have to trade him

Jebus, did they have to go money crazy to keep all the disgruntled?

I doubt it willl bother them. I've got Essendon as a lock for the 8 next year, lineup looks scary. Basically managed to bring in and find all the rookie gems it would take any other club 5 years to acheive.

Apologies for jumping in on a Demons board but this is how I feel about melbourne next year. A lock for top 8, maybe even top 4 which is why I think next year's second is unders for Hibberd. I think he's woth this year's second but now with Lewis in the mix, i'm not sure how it will go.

Tippa, Hartley and Matty Dea?

I'm terrified.

All 3 would get a run in our 22 reckon dons should make 8 and found 3 good players aswell as getting pick 1 for cheating i reckon it was ****ing worth it.
