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.

    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.

    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!

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
