Is there a full moon I didn't know about?

There has been some crazy threads lately.

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
