Thinking of getting him this week as a POD. Averaging 106 with a low of 81. Only watched a couple of bombers games and haven't payed attention to him when I have but what sort of role is he playing and can he keep it up?

Jee he has looked good so far.  Bombers playing high possession footy down back which has seen Hooks and Hibberd love a kick/mark to each other...

Could be risky as he is a tall defender but if he can keep up those uncontested marks he could be a very good pick!

He's generally hanging around CHB, and any switch in play (and the Bombers are loving their switch atm) usually goes through him resulting in a +6. The modern zones and that mean that he generally doesn't have a man when this is happening, meaning he's a safe option, and results in an uncontested mark.

If anyone mans him up he'll drop in score, but until then he'll stay roughly at the same scoring potency.

Do you reckon Hibberd and Hooker is too risky to have as a duo in the backline? With them being from the same team and all...

Not really, no.

He's one of those players I want in my team but so scared that he could return to those 60's of old at any time....

Same, would rather Hibberd tbh, trying to bring him in this week for Don but can't find an Ellis downgrade. Will Josh Simpson keep getting games for the Dockers?

It's a tough one, I really want him but I also have to the money to get S.Mitchell instead who will be a top 6 defender. Hmmmm  :-\
