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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
