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.

    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

    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.

    • 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?
