    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.

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

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
