Well , and as u all know I am a HUGE Clarry Choo Choo fan but......

If he is not signed early in the season...

I reckon he will go! 

If MFC are fair dinkum they will offer in Xcess of what Viney and Max have been offered coz  I believe he is Our best player ! Yep better than Max and far better than Viney!! I can just see him walking if he doesnt get an offer in xcess of anyone else.

And if so......It will be really tragic for a lot of reasons!

Might be eventually but he needs to be more damaging, doesn’t hurt the opposition enough with his use. That’s not calling him a dud, it’s just something he needs to go from where he is now to being able one of the competitions elite. For me Trac has got there, Clarry not quite yet. 

I also agree that I’ll sleep better once he’s signed for us!

Why do you call him Clarry Choo Choo?

Didn't you notice his game last Friday. 
For  his first with Ooze in the midfield our mids were Good almost slick with Clarry having a large impact. No hot potato handballs either. That's the Clarry we want now fir another 100/200 games.

Yep when he can produce that in the H&A season then that will be his coming of age and potential. If we get that for the next 100-150 games we’ve got genuine star power through the middle.

Put your money on it, Oliver WILL sign a new 3 or 4 year contract in the coming days.

Gawn signing has definitely been a key reason for him to put pen to paper now.

I have followed the Mighty Demons for 65 or more years.   Yes I am TBO.

I cannot think of another player that has had a better first 100 games than  Clayton O.

Robbie F was fantastic, and so consistently great, for a longer period. Clayton might reach that level for us and I hope he does.

He certainly has the potential to be one of the very best.   I hope he reaches an agreement and stays to become that great player.

Go Dees, good luck monday to Clayton and all the others.

Agree but see no reason why he won't .

Sort of  follows Up what Gawny said about team football and some sort of selfishness in the mids group last year was apparent.

If they play like last Friday thsts the team play that should be non negotiable.

Clarry led the way last week and can co tubule in that role. Trac does  his football naturally now and is a team player of class.

Needs to be locked to a contract at all costs, matching his further development, of course. He does need to damage opposition sides more - at present - and maybe this could be achieved if he was permitted to go 'goalward' more frequently and 'run out the ball' just those few steps more often. He can kick beautifully in 'found' space. For example, this is where Gus can be lethal to opponents, quite frequently.  Clarry and Trac, both on a par with each other and both the best in the League in their roles.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
