If there's one thing the Giants have always had, it's a match-winner.
Toby Greene has held that title since day one, while Jake Stringer has also proven to provide the X-factor point of difference fans had seen during his time with the Bulldogs and Bombers.
Hibbins-Hargreaves is exactly that, a player who can decide a game off his own boot. Capable of playing across all three lines, Hibbins-Hargreaves' capacity was on show in Vic Country's opener against Western Australia, with the powerful and zippy attacker booting four goals in the second half to almost get his side over the line.
