I'm sure they've tried.

The Club needs to keep trying (to re-sign his contract with the Dees) but more importantly, the Club needs to provide Clarrie a reason to want to sign (and that just ain't necessary bucks). With the acquisition of Yze, Chocko and Lewis, the Club is in a better position to enhance projected outcomes for the players and fans; this is supported by some terrific new players to slot into the changeable jigsaw that is modern football.

All working like a diverse yet well-oilled machine, including an announcement of a 'home' development, Clarrie will see the stability and a bright future to continue to contribute as best as he can to the Club and the fans of the Mighty Demons. I am sure that he will share and possibly - even be responsible for a major contribution to - that much-awaited Premiership and all the satisfaction that it may bring. 

He is our best player and has already set standards that few could ever match or hope to aspire as obtainable. MFC, keep trying, please and do whatever it takes to help this young man to reach the accolades that he is due.

Clarry will Gain  the Accolades if he impacts the game like in Friday.

No errors  great Disposal with about 2/3 by foot accelerating to deliver very accurate and penetrating Passes along with them usual handball breaking up play to our advantage and  best marking game also hitting the scoreboard.
 

Wasnt near his highest disposals games but he made such impact with his hands on the ball we benefitted each time.

That will result in greater recognition and respect as he looked comfortable and assured in his new style ( thank you Ooze you rock ).

 The whole midfield looked smart even slick at  times and with Gawny having a BOG it was a great start to Adam Yzes career at the Dees.
 

Remember no Gus no Jack and debutant Jimmy Jordon and 7 gamer Sparrow both who slotted in without any hint of nerves or over use of the ball. Very promising for our depth and maybe some changing of the guard of sorts.

Exactly what I suggested Ooze would deliver viz a 25% improvement in our on ball group Mainly in process and use of personnel and style.
 

Cant wait for further Chapters  in this storyline.

Meanwhile let's celebrate Clarry's first hundred stellar matches and hopefully we can contemplate what might be achieved after his 200th and even 300th!!!

I can’t think of any player I’ve seen in Dees colours have a better first 100 games. He has lots of improvement to come but he absolutely hit the ground running from day one.

2 AA’s so obviously a very good player as is. Improve his kicking and add goals to his repertoire and he’ll be an all-time great. Looked in really good shape yesterday, primed and ready to go. A brownlow chance maybe??

I don’t know what to make of comments that he is uncoachable. Hopefully Ooze and Chocco can figure out what makes him tick. A genuine chance to leave, he does seem to have an independent air about him. Hopefully this team can finally gets its act together and deliver consistent finals appearances. If not I reckon he’s only 50/50 to re-sign.

Genuine question - I've never heard Oliver described as uncoachable. What's the background to that?

All of those accolades, plus he’s fighting it out with Strawbs Odwyer as the best looking ginger to ever pull on the Red and Blue.

There’s nothing he can’t do.

Arrr "Fighting it out with Strawbs O Dwyer" ah no.

He is that far ahead of him it doesn't matter. Norm Smith could play a bit as well!

Best first 100 games since Judd.

Sorry TT I was only referring to those that I have watched in the Red & Blue. Judd was a Gunn.

Are you saying Steve O’Dwyer wasn’t good looking? 

How dare you.

Judd clearly the best first 100 games out of that lot imo, but Clarry would be in the mix for second place.

Imagine if Tinder was around back in Strawb's heyday; we'd need 6G rollout!

All good players, but I wonder how he compares with Robbie Flower? Stats aren't helpful for players from different eras because the game styles are so different, so it has to be a subjective view, but I wonder whether Flower or Oliver had the more impressive first 100 games.

PS: The more I think about it, the more I don't care. I'm happy to accept that they've both been remarkable and worth watching.

Mentioned on this site by other posters and based on comments from a former assistant coach i think.

Looking at the stats the clearest part he needs to do better in is kicking goals. He can do it, he most definitely can be better and that should scare other clubs!

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025. Date of Birth: 7 August 2003 Height: 185cm Games MFC 2024: 23 Career Total: 48 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 1 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1 Melbourne Football Club: 7th Best & Fairest: 347 votes

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    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 first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    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
