I keep hearing Kitty Litter from a well connected mate of mine🤮

Yes Geelong have shown interest in him. Good for them. Please tell me what Geelong could possibly offer Melbourne, in order to trade a contracted Clarry?

The club has no interest in trading him. Has Clarry suddenly decided he is over the club and wants to live on a farm? Because if that’s the case then Geelong is going to have to come up with a godfather offer to pry him away from our cold dead hands. 

I am also interested in Charlie Curnow and a million dollars.

    But Jaded, kornes says we're gonna give up our 1st rounder just to get rid of him

    It’s gonna be Clarry and our first round pick and in return we get to never play in Geelong again.

    What's the big call Mark? 

    Drop him? Who's coming in and performing better? 

    Trade him? For what? 

    Assuming he isn't still an off field liability, the club and sensible supporters know exactly why his output is down. It shouldn't take much work for someone who's paid to cover the game to realise why that might be, either.

    Plenty of senior players just as bad as Oliver today. Including players who have had a pre season.

    Perhaps we could trade you to the Saints for an ageing Molly Meldrum?

    A 2nd round pick and we only have to pay 200k a year of the contract and I’m happy to move on.

    Just like Grundy at the pies, sometimes you have to pay to get away from a bad deal even if you know it will hurt you.

    At the right price we'd be silly not to assess what potentially could benefit this club from a salary point of view and draft capital for future potential targets such as Finn Callaghan or a Harley Reid.

    Seems to have turned the corner from a mental and or physical health perspective which derailed his off season, he was never going to be at his best this year, why would we trade him now, were people not expecting this?

    Gee I wish he was playing as well as people on here think he can

    We have seen his best downhill beckons

    Was no where near it today

    Hypothetically speaking, if Clarry returns to his best, does he help or hinder our future team?

    I think if we front up next year with Trac, Clarry and Viney as our starting mids, we will see results more like 2024 than 2021.

    The midfield mix that Freo had today was streets ahead of ours in terms of speed, skill and two way running. Including Andy Brayshaw, who isn’t known for his disposal by foot

    Edited by BW511

    Ahead of the season many of us were contemplating 2024 without Clayton playing a game. The fact that he's played most matches and most importantly appears happy, healthy and engaged, is well ahead of expectations. If he can keep that up and then complete a strong preseason, he'll be back and firing in 2025. He ain't going anywhere.

    Ok let’s refer to his nasty hand injury then 🙄

    Not having a pre season, has a monumental impact on performance

    Will you call for Trac to be traded if he struggles next year?

    I’d probably lower the eyes and aim for someone who wouldn’t be the best non Steven May recruit we’ve landed in decades. But the way I see it you can only carry maybe 3-5 mega deals at any time and if a player isn’t playing too it you’re better off moving on if you can.

    And these long free agency deals are meant to be bargains for 4-5 years when a guy is 30 or under and then a tax at the end. Like Lynch and Dusty at Richmond now. Anyone want to pay Oliver - even on his best behaviour - 900k at 32/33?

    That said, a lot depends on information we just don’t have as fans.

    No way I’d trade Clarry, but ffs he has to be held accountable for his performances this year - particularly today. Doesn’t defend, doesn’t tackle, doesn’t chase, and is an appalling kick. He needs to be dropped - not because there might be someone better to replace him (although after yesterdays effort, Pup deserves his spot), but to give Clarry a wake up call.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
