    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

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
