Here’s hoping that Clarrie can overcome his off season woes and do what he does best on the field for the Demons where he is already established as one of our greats.

    I believe that if he can overcome his problems, he will be BETTER than before - in which case, other teams: LOOK OUT!!

    Huge challenges ahead for Clayton and for the entire club and supporter base.  
    But as Neitschke said, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. 
    Let’s all get together behind the club and Clayton.  
    It is a New Year - must look forward not backwards.

    From personal experience, you don’t learn from success, you learn from personal failures. Clarry is a legend and will come back better than ever.

    I think the best we can hope for is a fit and focussed Clarry in 2025.

    Think there’s been too much damage done this year and over the current preseason

    He'll be back to his best.

    He has a history of doing dumb things and learning from them. 

    I've got faith that hell be back to Brownlow winning form in 2024.

    I've said from the start-this kid will win a Brownlow one day.

    I'm backing Clarry in this year to play 20+ games. He will be ramping up his training soon after recovery from his knee clean out and be fully integrated in the main group by Feb. Let's go!

    Sadly I think this may be the truth. Whatever it is...I hope we as a club prioritise his health over short term playing goals. Clarry back and healthy in 2025 would still be a good outcome.

    Agree, but for some reason I have this nagging thought that we might have seen the best of him! 😘

    Let us hope that Clarrie has gazed long enough into an abyss, the abyss has gazed back into him and the future is bright. Loved him from day 1 as a player and could be amongst the best ever.

    He might even play football again.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • GAMEDAY: Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
