What?

 

not sure if you can read or not but my comment was to gawndy the great who said that something is rotten at the club and players want out.

 

petracca has not said he wants to be traded at all. He is disappointed with the season and dissolusioned with the direction the club is going. I would expect every player to be the same after this season.

 

anb is leaving due to family issues not because he “wants out”

It was a joke about how some posters choose to take the media at face value with certain things but not others to suit their narrative....

A great servant for our club, disappointing he wants to go,  but the reasons are OK,  Good Luck in the future.

I am sure you will play your heart out for the next two games. And I for one  hope you get a carried off the ground on the last one, or lead the players off.

 

Well done Nibbler

2 years left on his contract....appreciate he might want a trade but the Dee's have been fleeced when it comes to senior players leaving for no return (Harmes/Jordan/Grundy/Bedford) so no way we can let him leave unless its fair value or a senior body in return.

Agree, no doubt his manager has been talking to the Power and the Crows.

Contracted to 2026 so we would want better than the pick 28 we gave for McAdam.

ANB has given his all to our club and he will be a great get for another club.

I just hope we don't trade for Houston. We have Bowey, Hore, McVee, AMW , Rivers, Howes, Woey - we don't need another HBF. 
 

Out of left field: Ratagolea? He does some really dumb things but has size, can take a contested mark, and can chop out in the ruck.

This is an insane post. Houston is a genuine a grader. A proven a grader.

I remember Nibbler kicking from just inside 50 metres near the boundary and kicking it ‘round the corner.’ He kicked that goal.

It was 2021 towards the end of the season.

We never looked back.

Thanks mate

This was clearly leaked from the club against theirs, and the players wishes.

Someone should hang for this. A player being up front and honest with the club in a professional manner that allows them to plan for the future, and someone betrays that and runs to tell a journalist? All that means is the club won’t have players come forward in the future, and will leave them scrambling.

It’s hugely disappointing.

I want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of responsible posting. It's crucial that we avoid sharing unverified rumors, such as "I heard from a mate that [insert rumor here]." Spreading such unsubstantiated information can be harmful not only to the people involved but also to this community and to you as the poster.

It's important to distinguish between rumors and legitimate information. Sharing an article or opinion from a recognized media outlet is different because those outlets have already released it. However, when you post hearsay or gossip, it can lead to consequences, including the removal of your post—even if the majority of your post is acceptable.

Additionally, please be aware that certain words and phrases have been flagged for moderation. If your post contains any of these, it might not be published, regardless of how much of your post is otherwise fine.

I genuinely want this community to be a space where we can discuss important and serious topics, but there are boundaries that we all need to respect. Moderating these discussions is challenging, and while we strive to get it right, we need your cooperation to maintain the quality and integrity of our conversations.

So, before you hit "post," please take a moment to think about what you’re sharing. If it’s something you’ve heard from a friend of a friend, even if you believe it to be true, it’s better not to share it here. Remember, there are real people involved in these discussions, and your words have an impact.

Let’s work together to keep our community thoughtful, respectful, and responsible.

Journalists are real parasites sometimes hey

Don't blame the messenger, it's their job to source and publish info like this. 

And for those calling for a witchhunt for a supposed leak at clubland. this type of info could have been passed on by a person 4 times removed from ANB. Player managers talk to family, who in turn talk to friends and workmates. It's easy for this story to get out. And he's hardly a high profile player.

Pick 28 for McAdam. I would say given ANB's consistency we would do better.

 

We'll be lucky to match that. Adelaide will play hardball in the extreme unless Port get involved.

Ironic given that if the move was in reverse (Adelaide to Melbourne) you'd probably have about six clubs after him.

We could of course pay a large chunk of his salary and "buy" a higher pick. Not a completely dumb idea

I am shocked at this. Lets hope it is the final kick in the guts for the MFC in 2024. Angus at the start and nibbler at the end.😫

Also a possibility that it was leaked from one of the SA clubs......

What would be their angle? 

Why burn or sour the relationship with our club, let alone a player you are trying to get to come to your club, by leaking private information?

MFC: Can we have pick 26 please 

AFC: no sorry. 42?

MFC: (checks phone. No messages from PAFC). Um yea, guess so.    

Would give us 38 42 43 and 50. Could package those up to move higher. 

Gold coast have 5 picks in the top 34. 

Freo have 4 picks in the top 25.

Goody on Nibbler.

 

“I wanna sing the song in the next couple of weeks.” 🥹

He wishes he could pick the footy club up and place it in Adelaide and stay in the red and blue.

I’m not crying, I’ve just got something in my eye.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
