I wish someone had a record of his predictions' success rate. That might wipe that smirk of his face. The smirk I think, reflects his awareness that he gets away with a lot of rubbish in his job.

Yep, and it does stink as well

How about we keep Oliver and go for Sam De Koning!

 

SDK to join his brother TDK at Carlton for season 2026 is my bet.

Clayton’s taken down the #13 melbournefc from his instagram bio , GONE ! 

Has he made his page private?

How on earth do Geelong offer anything that the MFC don't laugh at? Clarry clearly wouldn't fetch the sort of return he would have in 2021, but he's still worth well and truely more than 1 first round pick i would have thought. 

I'd wanna see Sam Dekonning and a draft pick or i would just back him in to get back to his best after a full pre-season.

 

If he goes to the cats for a future first...I think Im gonna stop following footy altogther. [censored] what an utterly depressing year this has been 


As long as we don't pay a cent of his contract and Geelong meet our trade value then its a deal. 

This may require Oliver to agree to a new lower value contract with Geelong that makes them comfortable in meeting our trade value be that picks or players. 

If Geelong are just tyre kickers then no deal.

If Oliver is not willing to sacrifice dollars if required after 2 years of dramatically underperforming his contract then no deal.

Over to you Connor Sports, Oliver and Geelong.

Then we move on.

The only thing worse than watching Clarry win more AAs and B&Fs (let alone flags) at another club will be if we’re paying part of his wage to do so.

Well it’s more what he’s worth to us a late first round is fairly useless to us so unless we simply what him out which I think is a weak move by the club if so and will be one we regret.

Have received a few texts from non-MFC mates in the last half hour. 
 

Bit unnerving. 


Hate this. 

Oliver has no price. He is priceless.

Let the man have a pre season, and without broken bones in his hands... and he simply wins our BnF and is the centre in the All-Aus team.

There is no price. And to even entertain it is just... nauseating. 

If it happens, in whatever form, I'm simply done.

If true it’s a kick in the guts to the club who has supported him during his mental health issues .. if true players  have too much power, if true I question his character as his biting the  hand that’s fed him & supported him.. if true in hindsight club should have made him  play at Casey this year until he earned  the right to play senior footy .. if true I’m disgusted by him

I still don't think the Cats have anything to give us, aside from TWO established players (and that requires said players to actually want to leave - because let's face it, the Cats are playing, at worst, a prelim next year), so I am not sure how this gets done, even if Clarry wants it to get done. For whatever reason. 

However, I will say this - IF this gets done - which could only be for a packet of chips - I think I might be done with footy for a while. The last couple of years have been exhausting. We went from being on the cusp of a dynasty to rabble in just 3 short years. Partly a media beat-up, sure, but also partly our own doing. The constant culture scrutiny, Goody beat-ups, our poor comms, the Petracca drama (which has not truly gone away) has me tired. I want to love following my club, but this shizen has me sighing every time I open my browser. You'd have to argue there is even greater impetus for a review, and I would expect to see more of an outcome. Who exactly is going to play for us next year? No Clarry, and ??? with Petracca (in general, but also what kind of player he'll actually be with his injuries) does not bode well for us. That's a bottom 4 finish, easy. (Very small) window closed. Max, May and Jack play out contracts for a rebuild. We were not far off a bottom 4 finish this year, and we had Petracca for half a year! And admittedly an underdone (but still good/v good at times Clarry). What a debacle.

Why can't we just be a stable team? Why don't the cats deal with this stuff? 

Anyway, it's all a big IF for now, but as a 20+ year member I am not happy.

Considering what went on 12 months ago, Player 13 should have played 8-10 games at Casey, to earn his spot back. I was very disappointed this didn’t happen 

Ok I’m done for the year. See ya’ll in 2025. What a [censored] season. 

 

What happened to him travelling up to QLD with Max for a pre season camp? “Wants to repay the club”… etc 

I’m starting to wonder if we maybe do need to blow it up.. Will the me, me, me personalities of Oliver and Petracca ever see us move out of the constant media circus.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
    Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
