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.

    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

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
