#OrdineroliSpeaking Michael Hibberd is an AFL premiership player, having won a drought-breaking flag with the Melbourne Demons in 2021. On his way to the pinnacle of his career, Michael had to confront professional and personal trauma. Michael lived through the Essendon supplements scandal and was one of the banned 34 - it rocked his trust in people and his love for the game. But it was in 2020 that he suffered his greatest loss; in April 2020, Michael's brother Geoff was lost at sea. In this episode, Michael bravely reveals the depth of his grief and how he lives with unimaginable loss.
