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?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
