Chopps · April 17, 2011, 11:40:04 AM

hibberd to curnow making money and fast, i'd be devo if i didnt do it. i can bring hibberd back on the bubble just wished i hadnt left him based on James hird saying rd 2 he would play - should of remembered all last year he wasnt going to coach the bombers

Hibberd has been handy for me simply because of te mpp value. So that does make it harder for me to trade him out

Same for me Chatters. If I didn't have Hibberd on my mids bench I wouldn't have been able to bring in Heppell for cover this round! So although he isn't playing just yet he did save me a donut :P

Silver lining I guess? I've sacrificed the defensive MPP in the midfield but at this stage I've not needed it. Although I will be using my forward MPP next round, switching Goodes and Krak so Krak can be emg while Goodes, Tapscot and Darling have a rest.

He may get a gig now that Dempsey is injured!

Mark McVeigh suspected broken hand.

i did... dont regret it though, i got brodie smith instead and got me an 87 so cant complain, worse case scenario i will trade one of the other cash cows in 3 weeks and get hibberd back in if he does good.

+1

even with the injuries cant see him getting a game untill hes played 2 games in the reserves

TheHanger · April 18, 2011, 12:28:32 AM

Hird named Kyle Reimers, Alwyn Davey and Travis Colyer as the likely candidates to replace Windy and Dempsey so Hibberd seems some time off still.

hibberd best on for essendon reserves

I wound up going with Prestia, and even though Conca had a good week, Prestia has already made more money than him, so no real complaints here.

Yeah Hibberd will be a downgrade target when he's on the bubble!

Essendon_fc on twitter says hille and Hibberd put their hands up for senior selections after their performances with Bendigo. I really wouldn't be surprised to see Hibberd included this week! As for hille I need him back in to assist with Ryders time in the ruck!

+1 - Hibberd has been his weight in gold for my teams with MPP flexibility - if he plays it will be a bonus.
