    Had him for first goal kicker in the GF, he missed... 

    Now a crow... he is dead to me.

     

     

    Jokes. Thanks for everything Nibbler. Hope you play well and never beat Melbourne ever.

    The thing that annoys me with this trade is Adelaide managed to extract this pick from us for McAdam who has achieved 5% of what ANB has in his career. Think we need to get more ruthless in these negotiations, perhaps ANB is worth Pick 28 but I'll be stuffed in McAdam was.

    Yeah, it's looking pretty horrible, but I would caveat that at the time of making the McAdam trade, we and they would have been expecting our future 2nd round pick to be more like high 30s, and being a future pick it also necessarily has a somewhat lower value. 

    Nibbler has a value that can't be measured in contract dollars or pick position.  He is a big loss - I'll miss him in the red & blue terribly.

    I feel your pain. My previous nickname was "Dogga".

    Definitely a player that has improved year on year since 2020, and is in career best form.

    Disappointing, but every club loses a best 22 player here and there. GWS have been smashed with Perryman, Cumming and possibly Peatling.

    Let’s keep in mind pick 28 will equal the equivalent of pick 33 after father sons and academy picks. 

    - He just finished 3rd in the B&F 

    - Is an outstanding leader

    - Is an outstanding trainer and sets the standards 

    - Plays the high half forward as good as any in the game 

    - Has many years of good footy in him.

    - Has 2 years left on his contract. 

    We have been push overs for years at the draft table. It’s close, but Pick 20-23 (pre f/s and academy) is where it should be at, not an eventual 33/34. Adelaide give us that, or we hold him to his contract. 

    John Noble can’t get a regular game with Collingwood, and is a guy 20-25 on their list. Yet they will get pick 13 for him. Younger yes, not not as valuable in my view.

    Pies will definitely be giving up more than just John Noble for pick 13.

    Not a chance a turnover merchant in Noble is valued at pick 13 alone.

    Gus is gone 

    Now it’s farewell to NIBBLER

    Heart and soul player

    A Leader

    Best 22 each and every week 

    Premiership player 🏆

    tough call to only get “28” in exchange (effectively “33” after Academy and father son picks) … given finished 3rd in B&F and 2 years in contract to run…still he had decided to go and we supported this … no bargaining power 

    😭effectively same pick we have Crows for 29yo 50 gamer Mcadam 😭

    Let's be honest

    He was average at best who did have a career best season in 2024

    Before 2021 he was struggling

    Good luck Alex we will certainly miss your team first actions in ‘25 and beyond. But unfortunately you are now one of the enemy so wish you well but not against the Dees. ❤️💙😁😁

    Fair deal for ANB

    The Crows could have screwed us as he had to leave and named his club

    Big loss for us, especially at the moment

    Further "slipping" is BS though because the F/S and Academy players that make that happen aren't freely available to us anyway so our position in the open draft remains the same.

    Yes the FA compensation for Battle, Perryman and Cumming did legitimately push the pick back 3 spots.

    Sad to see him go, hard working, humble and a great addition for Adelaide.

    I will cheer him on next year.

    Sheez . . . we're going to have a fair bit of salary cap space available with Nibbler, Kosi, Clayton, Trac and JV gone. We might be thinking of bringing in Nathan Ablett.

    I never understand why people make a fuss of a pick being lower after academy picks etc. We will get exactly the same player at 33 as we would have got at 28 - the whole point of those picks is that we don’t have access to those players

    Probably lost our fittest player today. ANB was a Blue Collar worker, but he went all day… will be missed big time….

    Maybe just maybe some others could get as fit or more fit now that ANB has left

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
