A glaring issue in our list has been, for many years, quality ball users in our midfeild. That then amplifies our issue of having no elite power forward. 

Love Clarry, he is a generational player. But if letting him go would fix the issues above then of course we should entertain it. 

Ball users are worth next to nothing if you don’t have Clarry or someone like him to get it to them. He’s one of the all time greats at getting it. It’s a very important piece of the puzzle.

    Clarry out of favour? I know that they’re a little behind the times down that way but it sounds to me like a copy of the Herald Sun from last December has finally blown into town and landed on the windscreen of their recruiting manager’s car.

    Unless we get a replacement who is as good a ball user as Clarry is an extractor, then that theory is kaput.

    I'd rather work on improving Clarry's foot skills than trading him. It worked for Chunk, his kicking early on was woeful 

    Salem, Billings, Rivers and Windsor running through the middle and delivering i50 should help too

    Forward strategies are more the issue. Ban the long bomb, always look at a kick to advantage, get injured/suspended players on the park. More to it than that obviously, but would certainly help

    Seriously, a few months ago we nearly lost him for nothing.

    Is it possible to enter into a three way exchange and finish up with astronaut? something will break at the dogs and we’ve got to stay alert.

    It doesn't matter. Prudent business is exploring what the compensation would look like before making any decision (on any player for that matter). Simple as that.

    I agree. Just think it’d be really hard to offer us enough.

    I've worked it out.

    1. JVR and Tholstrup to the Shockers
    2. Shockers on trade to Meth Coke for Reid
    3. Meth Coke cut a deal with us for JVR, Tholstrup, Oscar Allen and their 2024 first round pick to us for Clarry.

    Fixed.

    (And thank you Bell end)

    How many midfield options do we need exactly? 

    Stupid unthinking comment. Of course sOne of your list aren’t even in the ones yet

    Ridiculous suggestion and start supporting Clarry to be the best he can be.

    If you are able to watch AFL 360, there was an excellent discussion about Clarrygate tonight. Sensible, balanced, honest and even enlightening. It involved Lewis, Riewoltd & Whately (Robbo was in attendance).

    Not sure what’s funny mate. Just stating we have plenty of blokes that can play mid.

    What we don’t have plenty of is quality ball users and reliable key forwards. If we’re happy making finals and doing no damage come September then by all means, let’s not think outside the box.

    Dont you like the truth Smokey. Start support ING Clarry. I am not autistic and please don't offend  others who may have the misfortune to suffer.

    Fair, have removed that part of my comment. 
     

    You are a very unpleasant person however.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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?
