Retrospective - How close was Clarry going to the Blues?

Cheap Seats

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?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
