    Tell me did Cornes have this opinion about Clarries contact when he first signed it or is he just doing a pile on after a troublesome 12 months 

    Well yeah, in fairness he has.

    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.

    That was a great little video and it was really good to see Clarry enjoying himself.

    I'm of the view that we don't have to wait until next year to see the best of him.

    Slowly but surely his tank is building and he's starting to have an influence in games.

    I don't see any reason why he can't be having a big impact in the next few weeks as the fight for a good finals berth is on the table.

    He looked really relaxed and happy in the rooms after last week's win.

    We need him to get back to at least 80 percent of his best this year and I reckon he can do it.

    Doubt he is going anywhere next year but he would want to improve his form drastically in 2025.

    Clayton is getting $1m a year +  and delivering a $500,000 a year performance on the field so far.

    Drastically improving is an overload on Clarry’s form. Your negative side clearly shows while the stats are clear he is down in most categories it merely comes back to a very good honest one year winner of our B and F and not a 4 time superstar champion’s record,

    One thing still that highlights Clarry is that he still is one of the best last quarter players when he is needed to produce.

    Hats off to Goody who held him back last SaturDay night to see him through the four quarters.

    BTW Cranky Granky ( well self named) howcgid you expect Clarry to perform this year given his prep for 2024??

    At 75 85 or 95 % of his normal output. And your assertion that we are only getting 50% worth of Clarry’s $1 mill contract is way off.  
    He is improving each game and I’d be very scared if we make the Finals if I was another of the second to 13th teams that could come up against us.

    Never write off a champion and just as the Deed are hitting their best straps this season so will Vlarry be right there when the whops are cracking.

    I personally don't mind him, I think he's far more engaging than a lot of other AFL media personalities out there. He clearly has strong opinions and he generates a lot of attention and discussion. He's fairly similar to KB IMO, although not exactly as rambunctious as KB when he used to be on with Patrick Smith. 

    On the subject matter, I don't necessarily think it's that inflammatory either. If I was an opposition club I'd absolutely be seeing if I can get Oliver out of Melbourne (and as has been pointed out, Morris hasn't implied or explicitly stated that is the MFC's intention at all).

    Good on him.

    Not going to knock a bloke down for working his way up and make a living for what he does. 

    He's clearly good at doing what he does and that's to sell clicks. 

    His current job is SEN Radio, Channel 9 Sunday Footy show and footy classified, AFL.com on a Saturday night with Riley Beveridge. 

    Must be doing something right?

    The only football show I watch is ON THE COUCH with Garry ect, my thinking is the rest are weak attempts at comedy.  The Sunday footy show is all about who can out do who with next to no content  . and as far as MORRIS goes I just hit MUTE

    it'll be interesting to see what him joining poxtel does, and what they limit him doing accordngly

    they want to use him to sell subs etc. so he'll need to very active on their platform as opposed to sen, ch9, afl.com etc. etc

    The footy media is a complete joke. 

    As is the coverage of games.

    Those two things intersected on Saturday night.

    It was a text book example of woeful coverage and how the paper thin standard of 'reporting' leads to misinformation - misinformation skewed to make people, in this case clarry, look bad and gin up some faux controversy.

    I couldn't make the game because I was sick, so had to watch the game on TV. 

    At the start of the last quarter Ling proclaims that clarry only had one possession and said he thinks (but implied he did) Goody gave clarry a bake at quarter time and challenged him to lift.

    That gets repeated through the coverage and morphs into a statement of fact.

    Clarry gets going and the implication is he is responding positively to the bake.

    Straight after the game Rivers is interviewed and is asked about the bake Goody gave clarry at quarter time. 

    Riv looks genuinely perplexed and says hw didn't realise goody had given clarry a bake, and talked abour how hard clarry worked.

    Given Rivers is actually in the quarter time huddle you'd think he know if goody got stuck into clarry.

    It's not 'till next day that I learn on demonland that clarry had spent a big part of the first quarter on the bench, seemingly as part of a  successful strategy to help ensure he runs out the game. 

    Did anyone bother to check his minutes on the bench, data they actually include in the coverage?

    So clarry not given a bake, nor challenged to lift and not responding to that challenge when he racks up 25 odd disposals in the next 3 quarters. 

    His game wasn't part of some peurile redemption, heroes and villans narrative the football media is obsessed with.

    The losers in this patethetic high school patomine?

    Clarry gets another wack from the media - he's miles off it, and needs a boot up the bum to get going. 

    Goody gets no credit for the clever use of clarry to maximise his impact when the whips are cracking in the last quarter (noting we have struggled to run out games).

    But most of all football fans who are fed bulltish and treated like fools. 

    Ollie is not used much early I agree with you,but rekon its to stop the heavy tags he gets most weeks

    Or to keep him fresher for the rest of the game.

    If you can stay with the opponent until quarter time, it is a smart tactic.

    This is not about the fans, it's about the media spewing absolute garbage about a player who has been through a hell of a lot and deserves peace and quiet.

    Yes I understand these morons are out to make headlines, but after the despicable way they targeted him in the off season, I have run out of patience with their garbage. 

    Tom Morris in particular should know what it feels like to have your dirty laundry aired publicly. Yet it hasn't stopped him being a bin diving grub. 

    Talk about the team, our performance, no issues. Stop getting stuck into a guy who has worked so damn hard to better himself and his mental health.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
