Couldn’t find a topic for this so thought I’d start one.
Two pretty disappointing scores especially when he’s a decent amount more than the likes of Shaw savage Lloyd etc.
is it too early to call ancorrsction trade in him, personally I’m thinking
hibberd â€"> Simpson or savage
Thinking I might swap him out for Simpson, depending on what other correctional trades I need to do (no others planned).
Doesn't look to be quite the same as last year. Hasn't exactly had 2 shockers though so might be worth holding for now.
He was on about 70 at 3QT, just couldn't get amongst it in the last when points were up for grabs
I'll be punting him, not against getting him back but looks like he'll be shedding some serious cash.
With Crouch out, I need to burnish a trade there.
So I’ll have to decide between bringing English in or getting rid of Hibberd in a correctional trade. Not a fan of getting rid of someone o consider a premium. I’m sure he will come good... just is dropping coin!
I had Simpson and Shaw in my side for so damn long
This pretty much sums it up
@FantasyFreako
Loss of kick-ins will no doubt impact Hibberd's fantasy output. #SuperCoach #AFLFantasy
Hibberd to Simpson/Shaw is looking tempting. Goes against all the rules, but Hibberd will bleed heaps of cash at this rate
Don't think it goes against the rules, sometimes it pays to be decisive and take advantage of BEs.
Watched Shaw today and he looks back to his best, think he will be a top 3 defender this year. This is a good opportunity to get a better player & put some cash in the bank.
Do I trade Hibberd knowing his losing $$$ or bring in English knowing he will make it. Anything over 80 points again tomorrow and English may make the decision for me.

I feel like getting the rookies right is more important with correctional trades.. Get English then take a look at Hibberd.

2 options, grab him now presuming you have trades this week. Or hold Crouch for a week.
ONly have 3K in bank so can’t get English now... plus using Cameron as the loophole.
Holding Crouch for a week sounds like the ideal solution... or English being omitted!!

I wasn't expecting 100+ every week, but I was expecting 90+ and much better than what he has done
Not taking much kick ins too, so he needs to go I think
Hibberd to Shaw nets 85k too

Shaw enables other trades to be made before the price rises. A bit different to rage trading.
Quote from: kilbluff1985 on April 01, 2018, 02:33:04 AM

Possibly.
I’m considering this trade for next week based on Shaw scoring well in two games and Hibberd scoring low in two games.
Premo for Premo trades are usually a waste and solid advice is to conserve the trade and not go sideways.
However Shaw is doing well and looking like he is back to playing the role he used to with Wilson and co gone.
I haven’t seen Hibberd play but his scoring is a worry as is the reading that he is taking fewer kick ins.
I have what appears a solid team and Hibberd to Shaw could be the best trade I could make next week.
There’s a bit of cash to add to the coffers too.

Agreed.
You guys are crazy for jumping off so quick. Sure he's been a bit underwhelming, but are you really going to burn a trade just because he's gunna lose some cash? Mind you, come mid-year, he'll probably have made the cash back up anyways.
Will need another ~100K to get Danger in for Armitage in a couple of weeks. Hibberd to Shaw facilitates this

Exactly. Except I need the cash for Dusty. Not willing to wait for byes to get him. He’s a must have now, and if I have to sideways Hibberd to Shaw, so be it.
losing $$$ doesont matter if hes a keeper, i think that trade could be more valuable down the track
Would you be trading him if you only had 5 trades?
Its a long season.... just saying ::)

That's what people said about Shaw last year. He just never came good.
Hibberd is taking far less kick ins, Lever is taking the intercepts more now.
So it's a role change, small one but significant for SC.
I would argue it's chasing FUTURE points.
Has anyone got stats as to why Hibberd's had the drop off?
No kick outs? Efficiency? Lock down role change? I need some info over the 2 games if i'm gona make the move to Shaw/Sicily (pending tomorrow for Sicily).

I've had some time to cool off and not quite ready to 'rage trade' Hibberd just yet.
Still had 20 touches in both games, and like I mentioned earlier in here, he was on 70 at 3QT, just wasn't amongst it in the last quarter.
Might see if any rookies need to go, if not, I'll look to swap him out. Still feel like he'll be top 10 (it's only round 2), but the Shaw from last year comparison really hits home!
If I traded him it would be for either Simmo or Shaw. Simmo seems to be the man at Carlton this year and Shaw seems to be back to his best and cheap!
However, I had the same situation with Hanners last year. Traded him early due to a few poor games and it bit me on the arse.

I had Hanners last year, traded him after Rd. 2 to Higgins via DPP. Didn't regret it in the slightest.
Weather Hibbo stays or goes largely depends on what happens in today and tomorrow's games.
I have Venables, Ryan, Barry, Naughton all on the chopping block and I'm eying off English, Fogarty and Bonner so the performances of those players will be the ultimate factor
For me the decision on Hibberd will depend on M crouch outlook
If hammy =2 weeks I will hold both
If more than two weeks
Hibberd =>Shaw
Crouch => Danger/Dusty
All my rooks to date are playing and performing to expectations so no changes there
One thing to look at with Hibberd is his previous scoring history. Last year was one out of the box, it was always going to be hard to replicate this year. Looking at stats, the kick to handball ratio is way down compared to his 90+ seasons. It's at 1.2 which is tied with his year at the Dons where he averaged low 80's. He needs to get that up to a 1.5 to average 90ish.
They don't seem to be getting a big contribution from any of their defenders at the moment FF wise. It looks like it's a fairly even spread and everyone is scoring quite poorly. I probably wouldn't be trading him yet, but it's a matter of bleeding cash which could be the issue. Simmo, Laird, Lloyd and a fit Yeo are about the only defenders I trust to be true premiums. I think the rest will be a bit of a crapshoot so you might be better waiting until round 5 before making a call. Maybe there is a way you can help turn a mid rookie into Danger at that point.
This is one I'm thinking about quite hard.
I didn't have Hibberd originally but then got encouraged to get him but was never overly sold. Figured I'd be paying the price for a reason. No doubt that he can score in the right role but doesn't appear to be doing it at the moment.
Simmo vs Heater is a tough call. Got them both in a draft team so I've been able to monitor with intent and it's hard to split them. I think I'll go Heater simply to pocket the cash because that's the only real reason I can see that separates the two.
I don't know why everybody is jumping onto a Hibberd->Shaw deal so quickly.
I've watched both Blues/Giants games, and Simpson is playing a much more active role in his team structure than Heater, and hence more likely for Heater to throw a stinker. I started with Heater, but am personally worried about how long he can keep up this form without playing overly well.

Both Simmo & Heater are likely Top 6 defenders, but the cash gained from the Heater downgrade is too good to resist.
With Jayden Hunt being dropped, do you think Hibberd will score more??
but long term is it better to bring in Simpson or hold Hibberd and ride the rollercoaster!
I'm torn with what to do with this bloke, but my gut says trade
Not because I don't think he can go 90+ and be a keeper because you'd be silly to come to that conclusion off two games, but because the cash I save by trading him now can be used to really improve my overall side
I'll bring him back in if he warrants it, but I'm just treating this like a correctional trade, and not as much as trading out a prem, if that makes sense
I've come to the conclusion that I probably should have started with a slightly different team structure, and with the addition of Bonner I can drop Hibberd as we have good def rookies and I can get my other lines right
Once he shows that he is back to getting 25+ touches a game and 90+ he can come back in, but until then he is out for me and I'll be using the funds to better my team overall
I've been pondering it way too much as well RD!
I think you're right, with Bonner and 3 defensive rookies scoring decently you can definitely get away with dropping him and picking up a premium elsewhere. This is what I'm leaning towards doing.
The frustrating part is his price. At 550k you don't want doubts, you want good scores. Guys around that price range include Laird, Parker, Buddy, Heppell, Wines, Cripps who are all averaging 100+, and so they should be for that price.
The thing for me is working out what I would be happy with as a score this week. If he goes 110+, all is almost forgiven, but anything below about 85 and you'd be looking at a huge price drop, and potentially a guy you're stuck with for a while. Not sure I want to take that risk just to have him go 70 again.
I really want to use his price tag and some money in the bank to bring in Oliver, it's just hard trading premos!
id give him 1 more week.
1. As a north fan i know all too well that defenders in particular HBFers can have big days against us.
2. Jayden Hunt is out and that could help him also.
3. If he pumps out another 70 then he drops about 40k which isnt devastating and you can make alot more cash bringing in other guys this week.
4. If he fails you also get to see Ed Richards for another week and Coeffield for the first time. If he fails could always go down to 1 of these guys and use alot of cash elsewhere.

Hmm okay that's brought back a little bit of faith. It makes more sense that Tom McDonald being out has forced him to play third tall, rather than old men like Vince and Lewis taking points.
Might survive this week after all.
Dammit I was set to trade him now I'm not sure haha
I mean to be fair last season he did score two 60's and a 50, maybe we've just seen his basement scores for the season?
Trying to figure out what to do.. :P

The only scenario I would be mad about is if Hibberd scores 120 and Simpson an 80. Both go 80 or 120, I'm not too fussed (would prefer both go 80 tbh, that way I know I'm happy I jumped off before the price drop and have more faith in Simpson from here on out). If I trade, 3 of 4 possible scenarios are a "win" for me - which makes the trade still seem tempting.

Like I said above, I think he will still be a keeper and should be able to hit 90+, but I think I am still going to trade him for the reasons I mentioned, although I'll admit I wish I didn't hear him say that ;D
Not taking kickouts anymore, not floating across half back as the spare taking intercept marks because that's Lever's job.
He may still go 90+ but I'd have more confidence in someone like Simpson or Shaw and you can bank a bit of cash in the process.
"Don't trade out your underperforming premiums" they'll say.
I disagree, sticking with an underperforming premo is just as risky as trading them out. (See Hanners, Shaw etc)
Majority of us here have got the rookies pretty well.
I always budget for two correctional trades in round two anyway, so the loss of a trade here doesn't bother me.
Yep he’s gone for me as it’s a correctional trade to improve my side. Shaw provides plenty of cash to go Naughton to Bonner and still have a little left over.
It could be mind games, but if his role does change and be back to where it was last year, and if he starts to string of a couple of decent games together, then I can always get him back for a rookie who’s maxed. So it’s a wait and see and need to be convinced before bringing him back.
Im sure people would have expected for Lever to take a lot of their intercept marks and perhaps Hibberd can still take a couple, but what we didn’t expect from him is why he isn’t taking the kick ins etc. which has hurt his scoring and really made the decision for me now to part with him.
The not taking kickouts in itself is a major concern. Too many concerns for Hibberd for mine so he is out for Bonner and Rayner upgraded to Bundy or Taranto.
Not sure why anyone would spend 540k on a defender coming off a season yielding numbers that are ridiculously hard to maintain for a rebounder, only to lose the faith after two scores in the 70s.
The argument that he's not taking the kickouts anymore is also a bit ironic considering people are going to Shaw. Wasn't Finlayson taking the kickouts the reason why people didn't pick him in the first place?
I'd probably swap him this week if I didn't have bigger problems, but he gets a week's reprieve from me at the moment. Even if he loses $40k, can still swap him for Simmo next week

The only reason I picked Hibberd was because it was between him and Simpson (who I had for ages)
Laird, Hibberd and Simpson were the only 3 prems I liked, but now that I have Sicily and Bonner who can do the job behind Laird that's why I'm personally moving him on
It's basically a structural thing for me. I can now get another forward prem (getting those rookies off field) or upgrade Arma if he doesn't improve.

“I don’t think I’ve been horrible so far this year, but I don’t think I’ve been shooting the lights down either.
“Hopefully I can just keep building and the more match fitness I get, the better form I’ll get into. The more matches I play, the better I’ll be.â€
Still, Hibberd said he didn’t mind playing a deeper, one-on-one role, if the team needed it.
“It’s a little bit of an adjustment, but it’s nothing I haven’t done before,†he said.
That article changes everything for me. Was set to trade but if he plays the high rebounding role the points will come.
The reason Roberton was a good pick last year was because Carlisle and Brown freed him up to be the +1. If Frosts inclusion does that for Hibberd he will increase his possession count and the 70s will become 90s or 100s. He's only had 20 possies in both of the 2 games so far....not good for his SC scoring.
If by chance Hibberd goes 70 odd again and Shaw scores 110 again I can still do that trade next week. Might nett me only 30k for the coffers as opposed to 87k if I do it this week. All things considered I will try and save the trade. Will reassess next week, but I'm determined not carry him if he keeps failing to deliver.

Since when do players play where they are named? ;)
I bet he gets 120 tomorrow but I bit the bullet and flicked him. Only one ton in his career v North. Should pump out another 70 something which would def have been terminal but wouldn't be surprised if he raises the bat too.
I'm still trading him, but it's more about how well Shaw is doing.
The cash gained from a downgrade to a potential (likely even) top 6 defender sets up another attractive upgrade for me.

Lever is trying his hand at butchery as well today by the looks. About as accurate as a drunk pissing behind a dumpster.
Gun
Just not finding enough footy for mine. Was better than this at half time last week and lack of footy cost him again. Not sold unless he can find more ball
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.

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.
Last 2 weeks Hibberd has scored 99 and 96
437k
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.

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
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
WC have the bye R12, Dees R13
will strongly consider going Hibberd to Yeo after west coast's bye

Winning is not having him from the start :P
After i trade Kelly to Dusty, I'm left with 75k to upgrade Hibberd.
Thinking either Hurn or Kade, is it worth trading even with their bye around the corner?
Had enough of hibberd and want to get rid of him before he goes <400k

Let's not forget that in a genius move by Bendan Bolton last week he tagged Hibberd effectively, I can't imagine any coach with any sense is likely to repeat that. I'm expecting him to bounce back.

Bounce back?
To his crappy high 70's / low 80's average.
Glad to be rid of him..and Billings for that matter.
BE 129 - jump off now if you can.
