Correct, but it will be ongoing. He has got to be ready to deal with it and play well. 
that may take time, i wouldn’t rush it 

That's the poorest excuse I have ever heard of.

I think We played so well against Carlton I wouldn't be tempted to make changes. Just Clarry for Pickett who is suspended.

I would play Fullerton as the sub.

Yep. But i am not saying a word 

Clarry has got to be both mentally and physically strong to be part of the team. 100% ready for 2 hours of heat

You don't think he would have copped it at VFL level? He's ready to play and he's the quality we need to replace Pickett.

That seems backwards compared to the normal path, but we go in aaaallll directions around here.

Don't mind the crankies, they just like yelling at each other about things going back as far as Barry Prendergast!

Yes.  Perhaps we could release a dog on the field for Maynard on King’s birthday?

Only if it’s a sweet little thing,  if it is a mongrel or viscous type it would enhance his reputation 

perhaps with a pink bow, sorry to all the alternate types on here.

i think we are all alternate in our own way. 
 

just beat the swans Early points are the best points. Easy run in August

As far back as Rory Sloane you mean?

He drafted Gawn, that in itself just about wipes the slate clean.

If Oliver is fit enough to play footy and is available for selection, he plays AFL. Simple as that.

Don't understand the calls for Clarry to not play. Even if he produced 50% of his normal output it would still be better than anyone else you put in for him.

What are all the possible reasons why Clarrie might not play against Sydney?

Clarrie plays, pretty sure he's used to people tuning him by now.

Agree Slarti.

There is more to this than just his football performance and those that know best will decide if he plays.

Those that would appear to know best have said/implied that multiple times.

On pure footy he would appear right, on his other issues I wouldn't have a clue.

I was out last night & one of the speakers was Brad Scott. Of course the first question Caro asks him was about culture at clubs  & cited MFC & all our “off field dramas”. He answered it very well saying culture is literally a day by day thing. You work on it every day ..he has some extremely talented players who don’t necessarily embody the right “culture” so they have to work on it. He then said he would never criticise Melb & he heard Max Gawn (who he said is an icon incredibly talented..exceptional etc) & Max said “Melb has a great culture (paraphrasing). He then left it at that. That kept Caro quiet. The other point he made very clearly is that unless you are inside the club no one has really any idea what is happening. So my long winded point is ..we have to trust everybody around Clarry to make the right decisions. We simply don’t know all the facts & that is fine by me.

You would play him at 50% over the young blokes (K Brown) no offence

I have no problem with the concept of Opening Round showcasing a couple of "blockbusters" in a non-footy state. They should have just called it Round 1 and just had 10 teams with a Bye and move on. It just makes it so confusing.

Or called it the Claytons round - the Season opener when you aren’t having a Season opener

My suspicion is that the AFL has an ongoing promise to Richmond and Carlton that they will play the first game of Round 1 every year. And the AFL has found a way to stick to that promise.

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti
