    These managers have it in for Melbourne.

    Connors have Tracc, Oliver, Houston and a few others so it's awkward.

    Suspect Clarry is only wanting a trade to Geelong. The other clubs will likely know that.

    What nonsense!  Why does it have to happen? Why can't he go somewhere else?

    We have asked Clarry to explore his options.  This is one of the options. If the Cats are keen you can bet the bombers etc would be.

    Because the media needs it to happen, they cant make 2 weeks of content where the biggest story is Bailey Smith and what cats will trade for him

    I also really question how Goodwin can continue. All reports are that is saying that they can control Clayton and get best out of him but the higher ups are saying no you can't, we have to get him out. If a board does not think a coach can get the best out of his players when why is that coach still there?

    The prevailing narrative in AFL circles was that some people got away with murder while the team was winning.

    Indeed. Just annoying our players seemingly want to go to clubs with the least draft capital.

     

    With Bailey Smith nominating the Cats, I don't know how they have any draft capital to also obtain Clayton Oliver.

    The Melbourne Football Club needs to hold Clayton Oliver to his contract. We have all the bargaining power.

    I am also angry that the CEO Gary Pert thinks he can act independently from the coaching team in determining the future of a player. Especially if Simon Goodwin wants Clayton Oliver to stay!

    If this is found to be the case then I want Gary Pert sacked for meddling in football affairs without the consent of the rest of the football department.

    I have been a supporter of Gary Pert as CEO. But this Clayton Oliver (and Christian Petracca) fiasco has been a PR disaster for the Melbourne Football Club.

    Heads need to roll and Gary Pert needs to go. Otherwise, we will have a massive downturn in memberships next year due to losing beloved star players!

    “Can Melbourne hold him to his contract if the price isn’t right?”

    Bewildering.

    Surely he’s our player until MFC say he’s not or his contract is up.

    Or perhaps “journalist” Jay Clark meant to ask ‘should’ and not “can”.

    They’re in their playing primes and they want to keep winning.

    Letting this play out the way it has for 12 months has put us in the laughable position of having a player locked into a long term contract and cornering ourselves into making the choice to let them go for unders.

    Is it possible that the only other person aside from Simon, wanting to explore every avenue to keep Clarry was Rofey?

    With her either being pushed out and / or leaving of her own accord seeing she was seemingly the only other person trying to hold the Clarry dam wall from bursting and a big Clarry fan / nurturer from last year on.  Her departure then left Pert holding the reigns at the top.

    Having a counter view to Roffey and then some alleged further misdemeanours, Pert then decides to take it upon himself to put the feelers out and cut our losses now instead of waiting for the levie to break so to speak in 2025.  Players (Tracc?) getting more upset and potentially losing multiple good guys during or at the end of 2025 and trouble bringing in potential trade bait instead of loosing Claz now?

    If Pert did take this route the question is why him and not those in charge within the FD?  

    Does that mean there's also a major split of differences now post Rofey between Simon (others within the FD) and Pert?

    In 5 years will we look back on Clarry as our Ben Cousins?

    I hope for his sake we don't

    Now watch all the rumours and reports re Clayton's behavior mysteriously disappear when he joins a professional club.

    The media will probably call 2025 the year of redemption for Clayton, and get right behind him.

    Guaranteed. AFL HQ control the media and Geelong, Collingwood and Carlton are their faves.

    We’ve instigated this. 

    Which means we’ve lost the bargaining power to hold him. 

    It’s, IMO, a monumental mismanagement of one of the 5 best players this club has ever had.

    That might be the case but my referencing of Jay Clark’s post was to question how Oliver could out if we didn’t agree.

    If Geelong really want him they need to compensate us.

    Also, MFC should not be conned into paying a cent of his salary.

    That's why we'll probably be left with the dregs

     

    Whatever happens we can’t involve our 2025 first round pick in any trade as it will be pick 1.

    • 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.
