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: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
