Personally i think The MFC was too nice to Clarry last Summer, i don’t blame them for it, but it wasn’t what Clarry needed. 
He should have been given Tough Love, “Get yourself Superfit & then you will be considered for selection” should have played at least 10 games at Casey. 
it’s no wonder other listed players have been annoyed at what transpired. 
Clarry needs to grow up

    Btw, the sooner Max and/or Gus become CEO/President of the club the better.

    Journos were talking about Geelong thinking Clarry could be levered out during the season, so they may been some degree of contact well before now.

    Sammy Edmund suggested Clarry’s behaviour on Brownlow night wasn’t viewed positively. Not a long bow to surmise that the club gave him prompt feedback (or attempted to), Clarry didn’t appreciate this and subsequently met with Cats, which in turn led to Pert calling clubs later that week.

    What is this about the Brownlow night?

    This has been an achilles heal of Goodwin for some time. Some players within the group think he has double standards. Players like Oliver get special treatment while others are yanked in and out of the team week to week. Can’t be good for team moral. (I’ll avoid using the C word)

    I agree with you, if half of the [censored] that was spread about Oliver last year was true, we should’ve made him do the hard yards at Casey.

    I went on to the Cats Big Footy to get a sense of the trade yesterday and they seemed to ahve a lot of intel on what went on

    Surprised the confidential details of Clarry’s meeting with the club haven’t leaked yet. Wonder what the hold up is?

    not only did he cause this but he looks like coming out of this a real winner. gets to keep his bag of gold with a 6 year contract, playing for a team in the finals window. no downside.

    meanwhile he leaves behind a trainwreck of people and the club. how many people who tried (vainly) to help, will lose their jobs over this and what a let down for his team-mates, spnsors and club supporters.

    just grates me that he comes through this totally unscathed and unpenalised

    The fact he went with another bloke as his date?  This is a joke btw.

    You have absolutely no idea what he's been through, if you truly think he will come out of this unscathed.

    Sometimes we forget that players are people first.

    I understand that as fans we are all emotional and we just want our club to succeed at any cost, but that's not how clubs operate, nor how they should operate. The last time a club said lets win at any cost, they injected players with god knows what and ruined their club for 2 decades and counting.

    This is a very delicate situation. For all that Clarry has done wrong, he is hardly alone. He is not the first or last player to have a fall. If any supporter thinks that Clarry leaving will magically fix the issues that have been festering for a while, then they are sadly mistaken.

    That’s exactly why we should keep him on the list and make him earn the contract he signed

    Or recoup his trade value so we don't get screwed in a possible trade next year.

    i'd double down on cats paying his whole salary. this is not a salary dump situation.

    if that means he stays and plays at casey until he fully reforms and grows up, then so be it

    hope club shows some gonads and bargains hard

    No but out of a cohort of four it seems only one will be left.

    That's a very naive and uninformed take.

    Geelong can ask the Vic Gov to cover the cost of Clayton's salary.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      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.
