Fair enough Billy, but I won't be leaving my club because some players do, no matter who they are and including Clarry, my favourite player.

I also think the club may know more about our players, than we do from the outside.

In the famous words of Norm Smith

”I’m MELBOURNE”

I’m not Clayton Oliver

I’m not Christian Petracca

 

He’s 29 or so, done a lot of miles, in average condition.

Happy to let him board the Geelong express, for a good player and next years Cats first.

I would rather we keep both Clayton Oliver and Christian Petracca.

Hope they can sort things out.

Would love to see them both play over 350+ games for the Demons and win more Premierships for us. A Brownlow Medal or two would be fabulous too!

Anyway, I guess we shall wait and see...

I will most certainly be very angry and upset if we lose either of them!

Without knowing, it seems that way... think I read somewhere Tracc was upset how lenient we were on Clarry last of season, there relationship is probably key to Dees fortunes moving forward. Hopefully it can be fixed.

Because trading away a star player in order to appease another is not being lenient or bending over backwards?

The minute players are driving list management decision, is the minute you need to shut up shop.

How in tune with us is Jon Ralph at the minute.  He seems to be the follow up to a lot of our player stories at the moment.


Ralph is a shill. Not unknown to Pert.

Time flies! I can't say I ever visualised what a 30+ year old senior citizen Clarry would look and play like. Would he play off half forward to squeeze the last juice out him come end of contract? Or even in 3-5 years? And then disappear quietly? Or would he give you high midfield numbers until the end?

On his age, He's looked and played like a wild kid in his early-mid 20's for his entire career from day dot.

 

Edit- lol just saw he's 27! Doh.

Is there anything we can do in a way that doesn't splatter us across the front of the newspapers at the moment? Anything at all?

Maybe let's start by keeping the CEO out of list management decisions? 

If this is not a ploy to remove Pert, I am seriously starting to question whether this club is capable of running a donut stand, let alone a football club.

This is a scathing article. 

It suggests that the club has tried floating Clarry’s name, then regretted it, and now is trying to walk it back. 

It’s inconsistent with what Jon Ralph has reported, and isn’t even consistent with McClure (McClure said Clarry wanted out, Gleeson says we’ve started this). But if it’s true, it is not good. 

If Trac is demanding Clarry leave he can [censored] right off

Would be like Cotchin not being happy with how lenient the Tigers were with Dusty or the Pies with De Geoy

If true, I won’t be cheering on Trac ever again

“Make no mistake, the Dees are happy for him to have a look (around)."

@tommorris32 💩💩💩💩💩provides the latest info surrounding Clayton Oliver and a potential move to Geelong. 

What sort of a gutless wonder makes a statement like that?

Who knows what to believe at this point. But if this has been driven by Pert then today should be his last day as an employee of the football club. As if we haven't already been enough of a joke for the last 12 months.

Right now this club is just extremely hard to like from pretty much every angle.


Bring back ACTION JACKSON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, Michael Gleeson has entered the arena🩸

three journos saying three very different things in two publications

so why believe any of em

 

Agree its hard to know what to believe.

But if this is true... then it's not like Pert would be doing this independently of Goody / Tim Lamb / Jason Taylor etc.  If it is true, the Dees must think there is more risk of ongoing problems / fractures etc with Clarry staying or that he won't get back to his best.
 

Definitely hope its not true but after the last few years it feels like there does need to be some big changes / difficult calls to move forwrad.  Hopefully they make the right ones.

As I have said all along, Roffey, Pert, Richardson and Goodwin all need to go! This really is the Icing on the cake and if true an absolute abomination!

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
