Michael Hibberd happy to stay at Essendon if Melbourne deal falls through

WELCOME TO ESSENDON - MICHAEL HIBBERD

(Ps, Connors/Melbourne won’t be happy with this - puts all the bargaining power back in Essendon’s court.)

I reckon it encourages both clubs to do the deal, assuming that Essendon have moved on and have a future sans Pig mapped out.

You’re either in or you’re out and you piglet are out! It should be an absolute honour to represent this great club, if you wanna go to a pissant club like Dee’s, power or the saints then get stuffed. Enjoy playing home games in the middle of nowhere to raise an extra buck for your new club.

Rant over

In other words, this has nothing to do with being 'sick of the club' but more to do with being offered more money. It's fair enough to leave for money, but don't say you hate the club and that is why you are leaving.

has he ever actually stated the reasons why he wants to leave? or are you just going OTT

Hibbered is now the living, walking, talking embodiment of a “will definitely be traded unless he isn’t” article.

A “Rocky IV Herald Age” post that walks like a man.

When did he say he's sick of the club/hates the club? (Admittedly I haven't been on top of the Hibberd thread)

27 next season, injury prone, terribly one-sided with iffy disposal, hasn’t played in over a year, indecisive, managed by Connors, dreadful mo, will lose us a potential gun early second rounder…

DO NOT WANT

Well… when you put it that way…

You had me at dreadful Mo.

Eats a mean awkward Roll’d roll though.

a change of mind isnt beyond the realms. Didnt this happen a few years ago with a sydney player that wanted to go to hawthorn and the deal couldnt be done? From memory the sydney player played in a premiership?

That said pigs made his choice to go so he should go with our best wishes. lests be honest though the saga is a good excuse to get a new contract with more coin. Uts not like the judas dog where we had pick 6 from GWS in the bag. Pick 26 is fair payment for pig we should get a ptetty good kid in the draft with that.

Worse…I think it was even pick 4 at one stage

Let him stay so every four weeks he can go the biff.

Dead set, every photo I saw of the 12 on holiday generally saw pig and Jobe bearly raising a smile.
Take it as you like.

His comments re happy to stay at Essendon show that that he left for financial (and or security) reasons as opposed to Saga related issues.

Jobe looks happy enough in the the last couple of photos that LAV and Hep posted.

I’d be lion if I said I agreed with that.
