What would ANB have done if the Crows weren't interested either?

Who knows. Maybe he'd have given up footy.  Since most of us have no idea of what his family cirumstances are, these questions make little sense except add fuel to the fire.    It's pretty clear Jaded knows what's what and it quite rightly keeping stum about matter that we don't need to know (though maybe some want to know). I'll accept what she says.

Port have a crack at Kozzie every year

 

Why don't we offer the world to bring Zac Butters home,he probably won't come but just to Pizz Port off every year like they do to us,

7 year,$10 Million,just to get him thinking

Can't stand September Pretender Hinkley!!!

Butters will come back at some stage. Doesn't want to buy a house or get a girlfriend as he cant commit to Adel long term. Terrible way to live your life.

Because you don’t know why Nibbler is leaving. 
I am not going to say anything else as it’s nobody’s business. 

Just respect his decision and understand that the club is being accommodating to him for the right reasons. 

 

Most members are in the same boat as me I'd suspect. 

Both players are from other states. Both players with young children. Clearly you're implying Nibblers situation has layers of challenges that perhaps Kozzys might not. If that's the case I think the club should make that clearer because at the moment I feel like we have set a president that we'll let players walk from contracts. Completely opposite to the hard line Stance we've taken with Petty and Tommo in recent years

How have we set a precedent?

We have categorically stated we won't be trading Trac, and other than one half cocked media report yesterday, has the club said anything about Kosi wanting to leave, let alone that they will let him?
Did his manager not come out a week ago and say he was happy at Melbourne? 
Expressing homesickness and a desire to get home more often is NOT the same as asking to leave.

There are different challenges around ANB which neither you nor I have any right to know about. This is the private life of a player and his family, and the whole thing would have been done in a completely different way from both his and the club's perspective, if once again someone had not leaked it! 

Whoever did leak it, and I have no idea who it was, should be utterly ashamed of themselves. It was a pathetic betrayal of a much loved player, who equally has a lot of love for our club and is very much sad to leave.

Just think of all the draft picks we'll have when we have no players left!

Josh Smilie, Jagga Smith, Harvey Langford, Sam Lalor and Luke Trainor - YOU are Melbourne Demons

This is almost reaching levels of taking the [censored]. 
He had the chance to go home but chose to sign a 4 year deal, then when the club is in turmoil he plays the homesick card.
Hope the club tells him where to stick it.

But from another perspective, the club is in absolute turmoil right now. How could a coach possibly survive when your 2 most important players are desperate to leave (and they're not the only 2), another leader is jumping ship, you have another star at a crossroads and a player banned for illegal substances.
How is he untouchable in this situation?

We should trade everyone except for Trac. Have him run round with Vic Metro on the mcg in 2025

Do you know for certain that Kosi is desperate to leave? Or is that just more media spin?

ANB who is the other leader I presume you refer to in regards to 'jumping ship', is not leaving by choice but by necessity. 

I can tell you categorically that the main reason Kos signed for 4 years, was because of Goodwin. 

Now if you happen to know who the other players are that are desperate to leave, I would love to get some names, because the recent signings of so many players would indicate that either they are happy, or that we are holding a gun to their head.

if he wants to go back to sa / wa...then he wants to go, but it would seem clear to me that if we can get the deal done then it'll be sooner rather than later

i think we're all mature enough to realise that, at some point, he's going to want to leave melbourne (the city)

it will no doubt be at same stage during this current contract - he'll want to be 'settled' in a home state before his first born starts school, you'd think, which will be around the time of the current contract expiring

Yet 3 of those 3 resigning are the ones that have told the club they want to leave?

I've already mentioned another player that is homesick although nothing against the MFC, he loves the club, But you can't possibly think the coach (and especially Richardson) can survive a debacle like this?

In a post that got deleted yesterday I indicated that Petracca would be satisfied if Goodwin and Richardson were moved on, and in the same post I indicated Carlton and Petracca have been flirting for a longer time than the media has known which was confirmed by Morris last night.

The club is on it's knees and a review of EVERY position is desperately needed, especially the coach and head of football operations

ANB and Kosi did not re-sign this year. Nor has Trac. 
Are you saying that JVR, Langdon and Disco who all re-signed this year told the club they want to leave?

I am totally agreeing with you on the last part of your post. We absolutely need a review of every position, and I have no doubt that Goody will come under review, as he should. But IMO there are people sitting above him who are a far bigger problem than he is. The overall sense I got is that the players really like and respect Goodwin.

Managers saying a player is happy and going nowhere is the equivalent of a Board saying a coach has their full support ...

Kozzy can be part of the Reid trade in the next few years

I am pretty much telling West Coast it's Reid or nothing. And I am telling Freo it's Sarong or Young or nothing.

The fact remains that Koz was very keen to leave before, but ended up recommitting. This is nothing new, and if we could work it out before with him while he was OOC, I can't see how we can't work it out with him now that he is contracted.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    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. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    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 move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
