Is Hibberd a Top 6 or 7 defender?

[blues boy]

Looked terrible in his first game back from a week or so off! Normally he is so consistent since his scores normally range from 75 - 90
but will he be a top 6 defender come the end of the year?

I already have Bartel, Swallow, McVeigh, Simpson , Nick Dal Santo  who i think are going to be right up there come the end of the year!

Is it worth moving hibberd on to someone like Sammy Mitchell or maybe Hanley

be VERY wary of a Crowley tag in rd23 for Hanley

I don't think there is 1 player you can lock down for that 6th spot. There are many players capable of being there Hibberd, Mitchell and Hanley are probably the 3 to consider. It's very tempting to switch Hibberd to Mitchell.

Good point, especially since that could be grand final week for league matches which is what i am all about winning this year

I think it has to be Mitchell for the top 6 spot surely

I'd go Sammy Mitchell out of the two, cheaper, was capable of more in full form... and most importantly, do you really think Hanley will score +140 again this season, that +180 was a one-off event (will definitely start him next season).

Hibberd is a pain (I have him as well & as soon as Heppell stands up for me, Hibberd & Zaha provide me with shower  :-\ ). Not a top 6 defender, however I have Suckling in D7 so I'll be holding for now
