It literally says it’s got nothing to do with it!

He just had a baby. He and his wife are both from SA. It’s probably a genuine request to be closer to family. 
Not everything is a [censored] conspiracy against the club for goodness sake! 

North wants Viney, and Todd has stepped away from their team for these negotiations. Viney may or may not want out.

Petracca is upset at the direction the club is going in, and wants out or at least big change.

ANB wants to leave with two years on his deal, cites family reasons.

All break within a week of the club exiting the finals race. But there's nothing sinister at all? Just three of our five club leaders wanting out? Think critically and be uncomfortable.

We've had one player ask to go home in about five years before this year.

    There is zero evidence that either Viney or Petracca want out.  You're jumping at shadows.

    Not sure we’ll get much in return for him sadly. Love Nibbler 

    Not sure about that...he's highly valued around football circles.

    Astonished at this. Only 2 years left and the excuse is family reasons? I take that back if family reasons mean someone is gravely ill, but for a new baby? Give me a break, it’s Adelaide for God’s sake

    You have to seriously have your head in the sand if you believe this.. Thats two of, if not our biggest professionals, who have said they'd like to get out, join the dots.

    Adelaide is a limited market for value.

    ANB plays a tough role and is under rated IMO.

    He will be very hard to replace. Straight swap for Houston if ANB really wants out.

    Houston is a good player but does not play the high pressure role that ANB plays.

    Whilst I love Nibbler and he is a good role player.  He is a 28yo who is at his trade value peak.

    This is a good chance to get as good a deal as we would ever get for him.  No being nice because he is a premiership player.  Get what he is worth, will likely be top 2-3 in the Bluey this year too.

    Whilst we won't get the level Nibbler is atm, his position can be taught to others, he isn't a freakish talent.  Hard work is what made him what he is.

    It’s none of my business, and I could be wrong but perhaps the baby has an illness or maybe mum and dad need familial help otherwise? Having been there and not had help, flying to Adelaide isn’t the same as having someone 30 mins away.

    Ah Ffs. What the bloody hell is going on?! Everyday another of our players is reported to want out. 
    Nibbler is one of our leaders and can cover the ground like very few others can. Invaluable type of player in the modern game.

    Nibbler made the request several weeks ago according to the report.  

    It's your timing (amongst other things) that is off.

    So anyone still in denial about Trac? 
     

    Club is imploding before our very eyes. 

    I laughed at this due the consistency of message in this post, other posts and on all threads. 
     

    Gawndy mate. You are imploding!

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
