So…

I know we expect him to play and perform in the last few weeks, but should he be playing? What happens if he cops a significant injury?

Also, if an agreement can’t be reached with the Crom or the Pear, will he be amenable to staying on at MFC or will he retire?

Maybe because no deal has been finalised, so he plays. If no deal I reckon he stays and makes other arrangements for his family. The money is too good to forgo especially with a new baby.

    Crom the likely destination according to Jay Clark on Triple M

    Suspect we'll probably get our McAdam pick back, must've been fate

    Seems likely... would be pretty poor form from Adelaide to play hardball when a 2nd round pick is fair compensation

    Sounds about right

    Langdon was traded from Freo for a mid second rounder and a future second but he was five odd years younger

    What we as fans want isn’t what matters. What matters is that the family wanted to make it public at a time chosen by them, not by someone who took the liberty to blab. 

    At least tell us the leaker isn't a player 😮‍💨

    I'd be furious if it was a teammate, I doubt it btw.

    I don’t know who leaked Nibs’ news. As others on here have said it could be anyone from here to SA since talks have been had. I doubt very much it was a teammate because in the video released today Nibs said when the media got hold of the story and ran with it, he knew he had to talk to his teammates. It sounds like they didn’t know.

    Thanks ANB - I know you'll appreciate the opportunity to get games into future kids and be happy to rest. Put your feet up and prepare for your new life. 

    You will be missed - but we need to expose kids on the list. AMW especially.

    I don't even want to watch it!

    Gutted.

    The last time i was close to being this upset about a player leaving is when with the wiz left for freo.

    Play a kid in his spot for the final 2 games

     

    Sorry to disappoint but he will certainly be playing these last two games. As he said and Goodwin reiterated, He wants nothing more then to sing the song one more time and will be playing to help us get a win in the next two weeks.

    Would love a send off at the MCG where we beat the pies with Nibbler getting stuck into them.

    What about ANB + P6 for P4?

    From what I’ve read, the best player in the draft might be any of the top 5.

    Sounds like an even draft if we believe everything we read

    Reckon that & the need to refresh the list a bit makes taking our first rounder + 2nd rounder + ANB compensation to the draft the most appealing option in my mind

    I heard that about being even. Seems that’s true for groups: the top 5. Then the next 10.

    Smilie or Jegga Smith might be available at p4.

    For our list, this year I’d be going all in for an absolute star if we can get him. Rather than playing a wider hand.

    Sam Landesberger from Mid week Tackle just let slip on air the leak on ANB has allegedly come from the playing group.  

    I heard that too. He actually said it was the leadership group. Sam was very bullish about Melbourne though. He said that aside from our horrible recent trading, our drafting had been second to none.

    Well you can rule out ANB, which leaves Gawn, Trac, Lever and Viney. I don’t think I’m missing anyone.

    Only Tom Morris could put his own spin on the situation and use it to denigrate our football club. Goody told him is he was at a leadership meeting he would be surprised at the robustness of it. Of course then Morris would twist it around so he could get a scoop. I thought Goody challenged him today and had an answer for every pot shot Morris had at our culture.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
