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

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
