Clarry will not let a broken thumb rule him out and break his consecutive games streak. He’ll play against Port

 

Christ I've spent the day grumpily doomscrolling through the Luke Jackson thread and now this to top it off. Ugh. Hoping he doesn't miss, though 1 week not end of the world. There are bigger games than Port next week in the run home.

Get absolutely [censored] Selwood. You are a piece of [censored]!

So what do you think of Selwood?

Dog act that should be sanctioned.

Buckley chance of that happening. I still remember the Cats ruckman Steven King rearranging Jeff White’s facial structure with a wild flying boot at a high loose ball. He missed the ball but managed to kick Jeff full on while Jeff at 195 cm was standing nearby. Careless, high Severe injury but no ramifications then.

Shouldn’t  Selwood be cited for this? It was reckless, dangerous and caused injury that could force Clarry out to recover. He should get a couple of weeks for what he did.

That’s only for head knocks I believe.

I would get a lifetime ban if I told you what I really think about this club and their captain. 

I can’t stand Selwood but anyone who thinks this is deliberate is clearly delusional. It was a footy act. Stupid and careless yes, and the free was paid. 
 

If we play them again, then we will remember.

 

This will be only the second game Goodwin has coached without Oliver and the other one he was coaching Essendon.

#$^#%#$ you Selwood. Wasn't even a close to the ground kick.

Selwood's a dirty dog.

Of course he didn’t deliberately kick the hand (or impossible to prove otherwise) but surely it is graded as careless etc.

I also remember that as one of the worst acts I have seen on the field. It was beyond careless- there was malice in it.

Crap news that Clarry is injured. Lucky it’s just the one week. Chance for some other kids to stand up and win the hard ball against Port. Viney might have another huge game.

How can you play properly with a broken thumb?

Ask Clarry. Got like 11 contested possessions after Selwood broke it. 
The guy is a freak. 


Ch7 reported just bad bruising and no games missed on the news. Thanks a lot crap nuts

If Mark Thompson was still coaching Geelong he’d be blaming Oliver’s thumb for trying to break Selwood’s foot.

Hopefully it’s just the one week and we can adequately cover him for the Port game.

A shame he has to break his 130 game streak due to a reasonably careless reckless, negligent, failing in duty of care, kick from Selwood.

1990 Darren Millane.  Played the last month of the season with it.  Every game he re broke it. Plastered it up during the week, played the next game with it strapped up.  Never been a fan of anything black and white but that was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.  He was still marking the ball and playing incredible footy.  Was a huge reason they broke the 32 year drought.  Oliver has Millane - like courage.

Not an intentional malicious act by Selwood but a soft**** one none the less. Hopefully this doesn’t cost Oliver the Brownlow

If he loses by 1 vote there will be outrage! If a kicking in danger free was paid, why wouldnt the match review panel charge Selwood with reckless and negligent conduct causing injury? Clarry misses a week, so too should Selwood.😡

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • 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?
