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 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
