With our unwillingness to play Brayshaw in the middle, no

    His brilliance and determination have masked how poor our midfield is performing this year. It feels like an eternity since we won the clearances and could stop opposition midfields charging through the corridor. Would be in a world of pain without Clarry doing his bit.

    Best player in the competition. Superstar.

    Still hasn’t learned how to kick, but at least he hasn’t mastered kicking to the opposition like Petracca

    Petracca tries to do it all him self, Clarry actually does it

    He genuinely looks like a man playing against boys with how well he wins contests

    Can win genuine contests (i.e. not talking about the contested posession stats necessarily, but those genuine one on one, 50/50 contests where if you win it you either drive a meaningful F50 entry for us or stop one for the oppo). Sadly outside of him, Gawn, Brayshaw and May (and probably Petty) we have too many who just can't win or half those contests.

    SUPERSTAR!! JUST PHENOMENALLY BRILLIANT!🤩

    No Doubt he is the most important player in our list. He's our barometer, when playing great you know we are a chance no matter the odds.

    I believe his contract situation is paramount to that of Jackson.

    Dare I say the order of priority as of today is:

    Oliver 

    Brayshaw

    Jackson

    A Million a year over 7 should do it!! I mean Viney got a very generous offer that I thought was far too generous... Clarry is a much better player and should be after top dollar. If we don't pay it all the other clubs will! Gladly!

    43 disposals at 81%. Really? He was creative with hands and his feet today and hit the scoreboard. Incredible post...

    Went at 81% today. 
    It’s a fallacy that he can’t kick. He disposes of the ball under more pressure than anyone else. 
    He is a freak. We are absolutely [censored] without him.

    One goal, plenty of nice short kicks, the number of times he’s run through the centre and hit a leading forward for the year is still under 5. 
     

    He might be the best player in the comp but there’s still a major limit to his game.

    Seriously what do you want 50 possessions at 100% and 5 goals??Give me a break!

    Absolute gun. End of.

    A few feral filth supporters sitting around us today thought otherwise and weren’t afraid to let the whole bay know it…….but deep down, like the supporters of every other club, I know how jealous they are he’s not on their side.

    Should have got 2 more (free) kicks too that the umps didn’t pay when he got tackled head on with his head over the ball. Collingwood also got a goal as a result of one of those not being paid

    That I can agree on. If there’s a player who deserves a HS back page about his poor treatment by the umpires it’s not the Collingwood kid

    He goes alright he’s not perfect but where screwed if we don’t have him. I think his kicking could become more damaging if only someone else was feeding the ball out to him. My favourite Demon of all time and getting harder and harder to think of a better Demon in my life. Really hope he signs a contract extension to be a Demon for life.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
