Don't forget Clarry was told to shape up or ship out a couple of months ago.

That said, Geelong have nothing we would want. I'd be disgusted if he ended up there.

If Carlton were prepared to offer Charlie Curnow in exchange I'd entertain the conversation.

    This thread is a waste of time, 

    I see Clayton as too heavily invested in HIS club. And ours, 

    the management of him by the FD and his manager is another matter.

    a one club player, couple or more premiership s how many Bluey awards. 
     

    He will lose too much credibility after he retires if he shifts.  Does he want to be like GH.

    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

    Move over Goodwin, Moonshadow is our man!  You would probably do the job for quite a bit less coin too!

    Jeremy Cameron would look pretty nice in a demons jumper

    Fair, have removed that part of my comment. 
     

    You are a very unpleasant person however. 

    Thank you for that Smokey. But you don’t know me so just be content saying that you don’t agree with my remarks at all.

    Why couldn’t you be content saying you didn’t agree with my remarks instead of calling my comment stupid and demanding I support a player I already fully support? 
     

    Is that how you talk to people in person?

    I really don't see Clarry leaving.  He said himself, after the exit meeting, he really wanted to stay, and was acting in a more reactionary way when told to ship up.  He has no intention of leaving.  The club are clearly investing a lot of time and effort into him to get his mental wellbeing right, I don't see either the club or Clarry throwing in the towel on that right now.  Clarry is clearly working really hard, and he's clearly showing a lot of love for the club.

    Well I feel very upset when our champion is not supported from one of our loyal fans. Let’s not take our premiership heroes lightly. We still have a potentially good list and some young talent ready to shine. 

    Sometimes some comments in D/L are crazy and I feel obligated to respond. 
    Not always a considered response.

    Apologies Smokey if I have offended you.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
