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. 

If anyone has the time and/or inclination I would love to see a comparison of the first 100 games for Oliver, Judd, Martin, Danger etc...

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!

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!

Gotta kick more goals right?

Congrats Clarry we look forward to a bright future in red & blue

With your mate Trac big things are possible - stick together and bring home that premiership bacon

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
