Give Clarry another week off if needed. As much as he's my favourite player and IMV, our best player, I don't think he'll be the difference between us winning or losing.

I want him fit for our last 9 games + finals.

We will win with or without him.

But he does need match time.

Oliver doesn't have a leg to stand on if he is told he can't play.  He disobeyed doctor's orders and left hospital impacting his recovery thereby disadvantaging the team. 

It is similar to breaking the rule of not drinking while injured for which players have incurred a suspension.  May comes to mind.

For that breach alone Oliver will be damn lucky if he doesn't get a club suspension or leadership group suspension.  He put himself before the team.

Calm the Farm.

thanks

There were several articles posted in a thread where Oliver admitted he left hospital when he shouldn't have and said the doctors were right (paraphrasing).  The articles said he went for a run but he said he went to get some clothes.  Not sure which context is right...one wonders why his partner couldn't have brought a change of clothes to him.

Can't remember which thread.

Yet apparently the Club was happy to have him doing sprints on the G after the KB match

The club's actions would appear to contradict your view LH.

Goody said we won’t risk Clarry he will need to prove his fitness before playing on Thursday prefer him to take another week and be ready for the Alice game against GWS.!!

Not sure why so many fit young men seem to get infection complications ie not just Oliver

must be something wrong in the injury management or their immune systems

Any Docs out there??

His stay in hospital was the week before the KB match.

I wonder that as well. It's likely cause they ignore it at the beginning and keep sticking a blistered foot in a sweaty sock and running around.

Yes but he only came out on the Sat / Sunday yes?

If the club had issues they would hardly reward him by having him straight back into proceedings a day or two after surely.

This article had him still in hospital on the Friday with talk of a discharge on the Sunday...

I think he had been in hospital for about 5 days before leaving on the Sunday - the day before he took the run at the G after the KB game.

According to reports which he confirmed it was during that 5 fay hospital stay that he took it upon himself to leave.

Yes it seemed he was a naughty boy and snuck out at one point LH.

I'm not saying this didn't take place.

That's not the point i was making.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J
