Not sure if anyone caught Clayton Oliverā€™s interview on Fox News this evening. Doesnā€™t instil a lot of confidence that heā€™ll be back next week let alone this week. Unless he is taking the [censored]. ā€œHe hasnā€™t finished a training session yetā€ 

Was such a strange interview. Clarry was just flat out weird tbh.

yeah idkā€¦ Thursday night will tell, I guess.

    I definitely feel for Harry. I missed the Sydney Olympics 400m final with the same injury. True story.

    Itā€™s still fresh in my memory. I had gone to the bathroom and was running back to the TV to watch the 400m final when I slipped on the marble floor and jammed my foot between the couch and floor, sustaining the dreaded lisfranc ligament injury. I was rolling around the floor in agony while the race was run.

    This imagery had me rolling around in laughter, thank you!

    For a moment I thought you must be a class athlete. 
    Second paragraph soon told me differently. 
    Not to dismiss your horrid injury. Hope all is operating as it should now. 

    Echo NC in wishing a full recovery has been made in the intervening 23 years!

    And pretty rude I have to say.

    Don't stop if you don't want to talk. Got soft ball questions too.

    And did actually say he hadn't 'got thru' a training session yet.

    I think he is over all of the attention about a hamstring. He will be liked a caged animal when he runs out on Saturday

    Yeah exactly.

    I know media is not his thing blah blah blah but the arrogance of the man spilled over a bit too much here tbh

    Just not a good look, Bin.

    It didnā€™t come across as arrogance to me. He seemed uncomfortable and like he doesnā€™t want to jinx it or discuss it. He also has no media nous at all. He gives weird half answers. Itā€™s how heā€™s always been.

    Rather just walk on by then. Not like heā€™s obliged to do it.

    Weird.

    Weird.

    Particularly because he made it sound as it was actually very unlike he would play.

    And richo said he almost certainly would in the club injury vid - which I think (hope) was after the training session, but that wasn't clear either.

    I don't see that interview as arrogant, rude or whatever....that is just him, awkward and weird plus a hate for the attention. Nothingball.

    Weā€™ll thatā€™s it Bin.

    Both Goody & Richo have pretty much said heā€™s good to go, yet Claz himself doesnā€™t exude a hell of a lot of confidence, does he?

    Just taking the [censored]? Yeah, hopefullyā€¦

    A lot of fugazi going on here. And way too much being made of a nothing interview from a guy who canā€™t string two coherent words together. 
    Train tomorrow. Play Saturday.

    I wonder if heā€™ll fake a hamstring on Saturday night. As for people commenting on his media ability, get a life. I liked it, so much better than the scripted bullsith most players roll out.

    Lads, Clarry would've played 3 weeks ago if he had the choice. He's being a dope because that's his character.

    The day before his infection he was shirtless, wet, barefoot, covered in grass in a parking lot saying he hopes he can get a game.

    For me, this interview and the one earlier in the season are the best interviews I've seen all year.

    Reading between the lines, if that is possible with a Clarry interview...

    Is there a disconnect between player, the HPT and the coaches/assistant coaches ideas as to what he has to tick off at training vs where each of them (including Clarry hinself) 'thinks' he is at recovery wise.

    I get the impression Clarry believes he's been right to go for a while but is being held up by the either the HP process (or head of) and/or one or more of the coaches.  Possibly just the HP dept!

    In other words, Clarry believes it's just a training session to get through, which in his eyes is a minor thing with a few easy hurdles, but that he may be blocked by someone (or others) imposing overly severe hurdles (in his eyes).

    I get the impression he is skirting around all that.  Trying not to blurt something out along those lines and aware that it would not be a good look to go public with any sort of disunity type issue no matter how miniscule, small or something a little more significant (for him)?

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old sideā€”the Tigersā€”coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by ā€œtheyā€ the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.Itā€™s no secret that the Demonsā€™ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryanā€™s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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.
