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?

    Please stop referring to the preseason

    It's tiresome

    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.

    • 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?
