    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.

    If his hand is an issue though, I wouldn't risk him.

    At least, there's no Selwood to 'accidentally' kick the ball out of his hand again.

    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.

    As good as Oliver is, no one is above team rules.

    How do you know this LH? Under what circumstances?

    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.

    Think he and his partner have split up.

    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.

    Immune systems compromised perhaps.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” 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.It’s no secret that the Demons’ 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 Bryan’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.

    • 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?
