    Looks like re-build will be in full swing whether the footy department like it or not.

    What was all that cr@p jotted out after 2021 about not becoming complacent from the coach, ceo & pres?

    Thats aged really well. 2022-2024 May as well be titled ‘What not to do: 101’

    It 100% has to do with whatever is going on. It’s all to do with timing. 

    Of course it does - the timing of the baby.

     

     I doubt if that's what you meant but it's the only relevant timing.

    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. 

    I agree with this. It’s hard to imagine he’s asking to return if everything is ok. I mean Adelaide is kinda close. 
    But if bubbly isn’t well, definitely need to be close to family

    A Melbourne clubman has notified the Demons he would like to leave Victoria at the end of the season for family reasons.

    Joint is COOKED!🥶

    That’s not ideal or not great timing by life has a way of doing that 

    surely top 3 in the b&f this season.

    No takers previously thank the lord as helped us win a flag.

    He signed on for three more years in April 2023. He'd have known a baby was on the way. 

    I know a lot can happen in a year and half, hell I was excited to start my new job in June 2023 and now I'm looking for the door. But he'd had ten years on the place prior to signing.

    Sorry but somethink stinks. I'm sure his reason is genuine but seems like a "may as well at this point" scenario.

    God you have no idea do you

    When the media say Trac wants out they are right. When they say ANB isn’t leaving due to what is going on, they are wrong. Don’t you get it?

    What ever the reason it doesn’t bode well. I can imagine that he provides a lot of sensible, stabilising influence. He will be a significant loss and very hard to replace. I find it hard to believe he would leave if all was well with the Club. It is likely that a lot of the rumours about our culture are true. A few heads need to be pulled in.

    A big loss if this eventuates.  An important leader.  And a great role model. Will most likely be top 5 in the Bluey this year.  But if he wants outs we'll get it done fairly.  Adelaide seems a better fit for him than Port.

    BS. Think about requesting a trade this week. This week of all weeks. After JV, Trac have all been linked with moves. 
     

    If it was genuine for family reasons make it known once the season ends, heck wait until next week.
     

    To do it now not 1 day after the Trac statement is for all to see.

    I strongly suspect that his wife has something to do with this. New mothers often want to be with their family. It would particularly be the case with a footballer because they have to travel interstate, spend long hours at training and club commitments etc.

     

     I'm not blaming his wife at all, mind you. I'm saying, this is probably a very genuine reason for him leaving. And I, and the club, will really miss him. You can't teach that kind of determination and effort.

    The baby wasn't even conceived when he signed on if she was born in February 2024.

    He requested the trade several weeks ago.  Do try to keep up.

    Right because people don’t usually plan for these things.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
