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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
