It's amazing how many posters on here quickly default to the worst case scenario.

Might be a prudent time to remind everyone that Petty, Windsor, Tholstrup, Tuner, Langdon (have I missed anyone?), have recommitted to the club this year

The Eeyores are all feeling giddy inside at the moment. 

 

Type of scenario that scares about Kozzie Pickett as well.

Losing Nibbler changes a lot; his leadership, footy smarts and onfield contribution is a huge loss which start to tip my opinion from top up to rebuild.

Rebuild top to bottom, for sure ... this has been a gut reaction from '23 - now. Alex is a great player and has worked his guts out for the Club, but family comes first. 


ANBs neat dribble kick out to the right to Sparrow shortly after the start of the GF21 final quarter, ending with a Ben Brown goal, is one of my favourite football memories.

Disappointing. He's one who always looks like he's up for the contest. Has improved constantly over the course of his career. The exact type of player who we need leading the club culture.

So it’s ok with the WA boys returning mid contract for family reasons?

Big loss in all those aspects if this goes ahead.  The experience factor as well. 

A hard act to replace.

2024... the year that keeps on giving.

I know this is a first world problem, but I will shed a tear seeing ANB wearing different colours next year.  Thanks for everything ANB!  Go well and please keep a soft spot for our beloved Dees. 


If people catastrophise in their personal lives like they do on this this site they have my deepest sympathy. Fair dinkum!

Heart and soul player hard to replace.

If we were to lose him I'd say unless we get Houston in the deal you must stay.

Something is not right at the club right now. Constant leaks are not something that just happen, it is a sign that not everyone is on the same page on and off the field. You have to question the motive that they had to leak this news THIS WEEK.

There will be people happy to say all is well at the club but this is certainly a blip and trust is being breached by a rat in the ranks.

Also fixing the footy stuff too. That's number one.

But leaks are definitely up there.

Like a leaky boat.

I can't recall many other clubs of late that leak so badly and consistently.

Find the rat and exterminate pls MFC!

I’m very upset to hear this. ANB is one of my favourites and he will be a hard act to replace.

i just didn’t  see this coming ….😫


Gutted to be losing Nibbler,but that certainly gives us something to offer Port for Houston. 

That’s a massive kick in the guts for the team. He’s so important to how we play. Sheesh, that’s some really bad news.

These are the type of things that happen to teams not in premiership contention. No way Nibbler does this 4 years ago. I am not doubting the reason is genuine, just that he wouldn’t leave if we were a chance to win a flag next year 

Brace yourselves Demon fans

Sh*ts me when players pull the jumper, punch their chest and kiss the logo…

Nek minnut….

does it [censored] you when a player does that and then they get delisted?

ANB would be a family first man. i respect that.

I think he’ll always have a soft spot for us. He’s not leaving on a bad note. His sole reason for leaving is to be close to his family and unfortunately that means leaving our club and joining a new one.

It will be hard to see him in different colours. Hell, I still can’t look at Jayden in those colours without feeling sad. But Nibs has made this decision and we should back him all the way. He’ll be sorely missed, very popular among the boys, friends with all of them. ☹️

Four years ago we told him to look for a new home.

From a personal perspective, I am saddened as he is massively respected by the players and a super nice bloke as well. Always very giving of his time and just an upstanding young man.

Hire Plugger as goal kicking forward coach?

Gotta disagree with you on this one. All things being equal, if this was four years ago, he would take his partner and baby girl back home regardless of how the club was going. You said yourself that “ANB would be a family first man.” And he is.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
