If we see 'Gawn linked to New Zealand' articles then we're really in trouble

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’

 

His trade value has never been higher so good timing on that front

Will miss him but

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.

Straight swap for Houston?

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!🥶

Most people's favourite player that they didn't realise was their favourite.

Will miss you Nibbler.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
