Anyone done a welfare check on @binman?

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.

Sad to see him go, a great clubman.

12ft.io is your friend for Domainfax and sometimes that paper for Capital C Capital brigands, the AFR.

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

Processing.

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

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

Thoughts and prayers 🙏

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.

Gutted, heart and soul player.

Adelaide is a limited market for value. 

We're stuffed. Leadership down the toilet 

Will miss Nibbler, ripping clubman who gives his all every game. Very sad that he wont be a one club player. 

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.

God you have no idea do you

So our starting midfield next season is Sparrow, Rivers & Laurie.

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.

Far out this is a massive loss!

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!

Spot on…list needs to be rejuvenated and to improve you need to give something up, we lost Hogan yet got May who helped us win a flag
