Interesting you are very bullish on Hibberd. Any concerns he slows down like a lot of the "returnees"? He also had an interrupted preseason even unlike most of the Essendon guys who are unfortunately really struggling backing up games and also guys like Swallow, JOM, Roughy, Ryder who have all looked a bit sluggish a lot of the time.
Just a little bit wary, but I've got Hibberd in draft so hoping he continues his good run.

I think there is a risk of fatigue but I believe his debut during round 5 was a blessing as he will play six games and then get a rest when the Dees have their bye round 11.
I have really liked what I have seen from him so far. Clearly the Dees want the ball in his hands and he is playing that loose half back role which is SC gold.

I'd go Yeo personally, and that's from a Higgins owner pov.
I think it will be quite unlikely Yeo frequently changes role, as they look to have a good combo going back there with McGovern. Only concern would be he starts getting a bit of attention. His game was highlighted over and over again on the weekend so I wouldn't expect him to rack up big numbers week in week out without someone paying him some attention at some stage. Most teams don't bother with rebounders though so I wouldn't expect to happen too often.
Higgo to me is more prone to low scores and missing weeks as we've already seen.

After looking at prices and BE's I think I have decided on :-
Parfitt to Heeney
Hampton to Heate
hoping Myers and Cameron debut this round for 2 downgrades in Rd 9
Round 8 I plan to go :-
Otten/Marchbank to Pendles & Premium Defender
please Super Coach gods be kind to me the next fortnight and let the planets align

I'm thinking a similar trade in options... For me, I still see both Heeney and Hibberd as being keepers and holding down a D6/F6 position so therefore it's worthwhile on a trade up from 2 rooks. Heeney scoring well with the Swans getting belted, to me, says there's definitely upside and could get to a 95+ average by years end... Hibberd, well dsicussion points above give a good indication (position for Melb, break in Rd 11) my own personal opinion, lost a ton of weight and moving better than before.
