Geelong Sets Sights on Oliver

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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
