    Happy to give him next year to see how he fares over pre-season.

    Something tells me he'll want to have the biggest pre-season of his life, prove the doubters wrong and get back to being one of the top contested mids in the comp. Along with Salem, if they can both have a 'Trac-like' pre-season next year, it will go a long way to getting us back up the pointy end of the ladder.

    That is a really really easily dislikable panel.

    Tom Morris calls clubs randomly: Is Clayton Oliver gettable? 
    Club: Every player is tradeable. 
    Tom Morris: So basically, you’re saying that Oliver is gettable? 

    Morris then reports that “the noise is enough, just for me to wonder whether or not something could be orchestrated.” 

    I have no doubt that this is how, or similar to how, the situation went down.

    Agree. The club and Clayton will both want an uninterrupted trouble free press season

    I actually don't mind Kane, but those other snivelling, scummy, dogs literally just come up with random ideas and then try to make them news worthy. 

    Imagine vol-kano ranting if we traded both Oliver and Grundy to contenders. Don't think it will ever happen.

    I watched Kozzie’s video back to his home town last week and Clarry seems 100% invested to me. I’d be surprised if he’s not back to his absolute best next year in the red and blue.

    can someone insert the photo of him and goodwin after the game on the weekend?

    meanwhile, here's a screen cap of him and gawn in the post-game meeting

    well, there would be if i could insert an image, but apparently it's too large at over 90kb

    it's from the most recent video uploaded by the club, which also has some classique shots of rick lever's face re bowey's music choices

     

    could oliver be traded? sure

    can i see us being satisfied in a trade? nope

    can i see wanting to go? not while gawn and goodwin are leaders

    Where do these jackasses masquerading as “journalists” get off with their gaslighting the Melbourne Football Club?

    Clayton Oliver is a little over halfway through his career and yet, has already been winner of the Keith “Bluey” Truscott Trophy for Melbourne’s club champion for an equal number of times (four) including in our only premiership season in the past six decades. 

    We can run our club and look after our own when they’ve gone through tough times without taking advice from the clowns on that program who quite frankly need to be better at their jobs than they are at trying to be sensational.

    Had they been doing that, then they might have noticed how well Simon Goodwin has managed his player given the difficulties he had to face over the second half of last season and the disrupted preseason he endured this year. Clarry’s still important enough for opposing coaches to find the need to put heavy tags on him and sometimes it works. Mostly, it doesn’t because Clarry is that good.

    The simpletons on Footy Classified somehow managed to miss how Goody kept him on the bench in the early goings against the Bombers (he had only one touch in the first quarter). Yet by half time Clarry had added 10 possessions to his tally and by the end of the game, he had 25 disposals (75% of game time) which put him at the club’s equal third ball gatherer behind Ed Langdon (100%) and Trent Rivers (67%). Sure, his disposal efficiency was down but it was wet and someone who plays the way he does at a frenetic tempo is never going to hit every target. He gained 392 metres on the night, second only to Rivers. 

    Not long after the siren, it was pleasing to see who Goody was embracing and slapping on the back. Clarry of course because his was a significant contribution to the team’s win.

    I’m looking forward to more and better from Clarry over the rest of 2024 and even more so in the years to come when he’ll be able to put in the hard yards over the summer time, add a 5th & 6th Bluey and maybe a premiership or two and we can sit back and watch Cormes and co eat humble pie over their stupidity.

    They won't eat humble pie WJ, they will just move on like it had never been mentioned!

    Kane thinks we should chuck in a first rounder for someone to TAKE clarry off our hands. 

    Literally the dumbest trade suggestion in history.

    Goodwin should make a point of calling out Morris at a future Press Conference. 
    He has a shocking record as a Journalist, and it seriously makes me Angry 😡 that he has been promoted over the last 12 months 

    He has the personality of a stale Ham Sandwich, you can tell he is on the outer.

    Hard to see Clayton going anywhere while Goody is coaching the club...

    They are both world class F wits in there own right, but you would hope no one associated with our club would be feeding him these fanciful trade story scenarios.

    Which clubs, Morris? Name the clubs with whom you’ve spoken. Which representatives from which clubs are “making noise” so much so that you think a trade can be orchestrated?

    And just as shocking a record as a human being. He’s a slimy grub and should never have been reinstated let alone promoted.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
