Would the love be so ardent if we had lost all 4 games and Oliver decided not to re-sign. 

Sorry Old Fart but it is amazing to read the accolades and love after a few wins. They better keep winning. 

Ernest, I was a fervent supporter throughout our 'glory years' and my love for the Club has not diminished one iota during our extensive periods in the 'wilderness'.  I fully understand your pragmatism, but I intend to ride the current 'ripple (not wave) of success' for however long it lasts.  They have been too few and far between for me to give up now!.

I have never been 100% convinced that Oliver has the team-first mentality to take us to a premiership. My mind has changed. To go all-in and sign so early in a season when we promise something but haven't delivered yet shows he not only wants us to get there but is willing to bet his career on it. Lovely.

I know Clarry, not super close but enough to know him

I can’t ever see him leaving this club, he loves the club and loves the boys and I can’t see that ever changing

Beautifully stated my friend. 

Love the passion and we should all ride the ripple for as long as it lasts.

A mate texted saying that clarry had resigned and i was ready to watch clayton highlights with a bucket of ice cream. 

Glad it was just a grammatical error, so happy he's sticking around. 

Go Dees!

Fantastic news, great stuff from Clarry. Getting big names early will help to stave off any media speculation and the boys can focus on what happens on the field. 

You’re a gem Clarry!!!!

Has been spoken too, i am lead to believe 

No idea how the conversation went

What are you intimating here? That we're going to replace Pert already with Brian Cook? What's the thinking?

Wasn't Cook interviewed the other week saying he's stepping away from the Cats at the end of the year and retiring

Yep, December this year he’s leaving Geelong after announcing his retirement less than two weeks ago. 
I’d find it odd if he’d committed to a role at the MFC.

So... when does the MFCSS kick in about him leaving as a free agent at the end of 2023 kick in?

In 2023.

But if he’s taking 3 premiership medallions with him, he has my blessing.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year.
