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.

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

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.
