Last year there was a few murmurs that Clarry may have been on the move. It was also mentioned on the Sunday footy show.

Obviously he stayed, but can anyone fill in how close moving?

Obviously hindsight is wonderful, but it just made me wonder.

    Thank the lord we backed ourselves to keep him. No Oliver no flag this year.

    If players want out that badly they request trades, contracted or not. Dunkley the perfect example.

    I have no doubt he was ****ty post season. An end of season capitulation missing finals & hub life probably not a good combination.

    I was told it was close, until Mark Williams and Yze spoke to him

    Clarry realized then, he still had work to do, to get even better

    Interesting sliding doors moment. THanks @Sir Why You Little

    Obviously we are all glad he stayed and is hopefully a club champion (if not already).

    Carlton . . . "we're planning on building our defence around OMac"

    Clarry . . . "yeah nah".

    Assistant Coaches are crucial now…

    IIRC in his re-signing interview one of the questions included the fact he had offers

    Elite midfielder about to hit his prime has offers from rival clubs. Never heard such explosive news. 
    How many desperate social media friends requests is Peter Bell sending Jackson as we speak?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
