I'm sure some of you understand this much better than me because I'm just watching on TV from o/s, but:

It seems Trac  and Clarrie are happy to pass to each other etc., but about round 15, 16 or 17, I saw Clarrie bend to pick up the pill in congestion near a stoppage and Viney charged and grabbed it. I thought wow it seemed for 1/2 second that Viney selfishly fought Clarrie for the ball!?

I don't know there is a problem and hope there isn't, but if those 2 definitely can't work together, then I really hope we keep Clarrie and let Viney go if one must go. 

I don't think Viney has much peripheral vision he is  just 'see ball get ball' hard as nails, but I think the others probably get a bit upset cos they see the game better... that's how I read it. Hopefully they get a few set plays or learn to work with each other so they all can shine in the middle

    This is quite possibly (if there is one) the issue between Jack and Clarry. In terms of what it does for the team it most certainly is an issue because I could actually remember there was one point that I'm pretty sure our players would almost end up tackling each other to get the ball. It's great to see that hunger but it needs to be channelled better.

    I think in most cases it would be a personality clash and nothing to do with the on field stuff

    Absolutely, midfield coach has a the best ruckman and a gun young midfield to work with has to get them gelling better, I was shocked to find out we are no good in clearances

    Agree my take on this is the frustration Clarry has with Vineys Rugby like tendencies and little else more.The way Im viewing this is

    1 The fact that we should be tabling a mega deal for clarry in the vicinity of 800 + for 7 years and tie him up for life NOW. He is a much better player than Viney ever was or will be.Period

    2 Unless the above happens and or we don't finish top 4 next year Clayton Oliver will be gone to another club. Nothing in  my mind is  more certain.?

    Offer him 3 years on top dollar. If we're successful he'll re-sign and if not we should honor his wish to move elsewhere. Investing in someone for 7 years, even someone of Clayton's ability is too risky. and unnecessary imv.

    So so glad you have no power in my club. You have worms in your brain on most things MFC related.

    As an aside to all - what was the SOS ‘bombshell?’. I can’t find anything on it.

    Apparently no one gets on with Viney Brayshaw Oliver petracca, they all hate him.

    I know we keep hearing media people say that the Dees & Oliver's manager say it's a non-story but I wish we could hear it from the horse's mouth. Not necessarily Oliver but perhaps through one of those fluff pieces the Dees have been putting out every few days about some of the players. 

    Maybe a story about how Oliver saw Trac's dedication over the off-season and wants to take his game to the next level. 

    Sure it's a puff piece but the club must be aware of the "rumours" and this would be one way to put an end to them. 

    It might not satiate everyone but it's something. 

    No matter which side of the fence you're sitting on with this I think we can all agree that next year is crucial for the Demons and if we want to retain star players we are going to need to put runs on the board. 

    We need success to keep players and we also want to be an attractive "destination" club to opposition players. 

    We simply can't be just a "destination" club for dollars because then you can't retain your up-and-coming stars.

    Would a photo of him having dinner with the Goodwins suffice?

    It’s trade period. Its currency is rumor and gossip. Fact of life.  The club or his management start makings comments will just fuel the fire.

    Best way to put this to bed is to announce he has signed a new deal. Kills the story stone dead.

    True but he still has a year on his contract and perhaps her wants to see the direction we are going before putting pen to paper.

    Shocked this rumour became as big and widespread given it came from an unapologetic blues supporter and was very loosely based on any form of reality

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
