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 win

Every other club in the league would want him.  I’m sure Bontempelli would be sought by everyone as well, but it ain’t going to happen. Best to stop reading when you see the authors name, and h

He’s too young to go to Geeelong and still has six years left on his contract with us plus he is very close to Tracc and Max. Click bait, media are still grasping at straws  to get people to read thei

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!

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.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
