Hibberd

[Huttabito]

8 point first quarter before a 41 point second - very questionable how that was worth 41 point but such is SC scoring.

Still not taking kick ins and don't mind passing him on, think in the long run (regardless a 90+ score this week) will be the right call.

18 possessions 7 contested, 1 tackle and 6 marks for 92 points?

Hibberd owners got lucky.

10 intercept possessions is what got him there.

Still very, very generous scoring imo!

This.. I held but still a bit of a worry

Still probably gunna hold

Think in the long run I'll be happy to hold Hibberd.

Yesterday's game was more what I would expect. Doesn't need to get a heap of touches, but uses it effectively and gets a number of intercepts.

Simpson only just outscored him, and Shaw stunk it up (the 2 I was considering). I guess with defenders you have to get used to a few down games throughout the year, so hopefully he's already had his 2 lower scoring games.

Yep, this pretty much nails my line of thinking as well. Might have been a slow start but I think he's building into things, plays a friendly game and is consistent when he's up and about.

What do we think?

I started him and punted him after R1/2 but at that price he might be worth bringing back in now

Bonner to Hibberd for 125k does sound attractive compared to 220k for Simmo/Yeo etc

Hasn't hit the ton once this year, reckon the days of big scores is over. Yeo is the man you need & isn't unreasonably priced.

Don't do it to yourself. I hate watching Hurley and Simpson dominate week in week out while Hibberd limps to 90 odd points max. Last two games vs Bombers and Saints, won't do it against top teams. No kick ins. Lever taking intercept role. He relies on big disposal numbers due to uncontested game.
Booting him along with Billings and Goldy was the right move and I kept all of them.
Hurley,Simpson,Yeo,Laird,Sicily get em all before Hibberd.

Keep an eye on him, but don't do it to yourself just yet.

Seems to be playing better with TMac back, but wouldn't trust him until we see some tons.

Yeah the backline is definitely functioning a lot better and no doubt hibberd's improvement is related to that. But at the end of the day with Lewis/Vince/Salem/Hunt all spending a lot of time in the backline, Hibberd being the best defender of all of them has to take a much more accountable role at times.

I noticed yesterday he handballed alot in the first half. But in the second half he did some nice rebounding kicks

Think you would want to see at least one ton before bringing him in IMO
