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

    I think Max pretty much is our president already.

    He's the bloke who keeps getting shoved in front of the cameras and mics to try and speak with eloquence and integrity.

    I don't know how he does it.

    I wouldn't blink an eye if he turns to a pile of dust in 2025 from the load he has carried for us over the last year or so.

    Ok, I've got some more mail on all of this. 

    Melbourne is now looking to package up Oliver and Petracca to Geelong for a future 4th rounder and we pay $2m of their contract each year till they die. Apparently Trac got on board once he was shown that he could be the new face of a Farm to Plate cooking show with all produce being produced on his new farm that he has apparently been given by some guy on Instagram with the handle of #cottononcosta

    Oliver is happy to go now too as he's been shown that any off field indiscretions are only in the news for a maximum of 15 minutes. Plus, with Geelong being close to the water, he will be able to directly fish his taped up packages from Mexico directly from his seafront property.

    I’m now reluctant to give Clarry a pair of size 12’s up the behind.

    We lost Travy, Col, Jacky boy, Jessy, my gut feeling is now, see out the contract, 

    like a bad marriage, it may be sorted over time.

    If SWYLs intel Is right, the board must remove Pert today. 
     

    I still favour a top to bottom review of the entire club by an independent third party at arms length from the board and CEO. Everything in the table.

    Is there any chance Simon and others inside the FD (some players included) wanted to see if they can move Clarry on but weren't sure if that was possible / best for the club in terms of the suiters / offers.

    They wanted to have their cake and eat it too but didn't want to put Clarry or themselves in the horrid position if they had to walk him back in.

    So they went with the Perty option.  Perty taking the heat but managing to put the feelers out 🤔

    I would see that as cowardly,  gutless and very poor form but just putting it out there as one of many theories.

    Suggested message to other clubs: Our minimum requirement is that (1) you take over Oliver's full contract and (2) we require an elite player in return plus a high draft pick.

    Suggested message to Oliver: you are going nowhere unless Melbourne get a fair deal in exchange, including a high-class midfielder. This club has bent over backwards to assist you and it is you who owe us big time. If there are further issues with fitness or conduct, prepare for a year in the stiffs at Casey.

    Just the thought of that propsect would be enough to straighten even the most bent player up surely!

    Clearly he's not willing to grow up.

    People really need to remember that Clarry has ADHD. And always will have, his brain is hard-wired that way.

    So … difficult to suppress impulses, may not stop to consider a situation, or consequences before pursuing a course of action, etc etc. It may come across as immaturity, but it goes a lot deeper than that. 

    I for one want him gone, unfortunately, but I really feel for him.

    One theory: Goodwin has to say he still wants Clarry in case a deal doesnt get done. 

    Not a theory.

    "wounded and unsupported" or delusional? I think bing181 makes a very good point about the effect of Clayton's ADHD condition on all of this.

    But we wouldn’t get anywhere near recouping his trade value right now…

    He needs to get himself fit and fiiring

    My concern with this is, if he chooses not to get fit and firing, has more off field troubles and/or holds the club in contempt resulting in him making no effort ( even begin happy to front up weekly at Casey) would MFC still be required to PAY HIS FULL SALARY?

    If so, player contacts are clearly too heavily stacked in the players favour to the point of being farcical.

    So far, out Oliver and in Tom Campbell. Wow, that is really improving our list.

    Campbell is considering his options now

    I remember the jubilation around here when we had signed up Tracc and Clarrie basically for life. Now it’s like an ugly nightmare that could make it impossible for us to attract and keep decent talent for the rest of the decade. Such is life.

    He does....   what it does/offer is avail the reader as to the nature of the road and its signs.

    It doesn't change the "traffic"

    Currently it's like the Monash ...inbound around 6.30am...   or outbound at 5.

    If you know... you know.

    We need to take a different road ( as a club )...  or we're going nowhere.

    Absolutely embarrassing from Pert

    This guy has the subtlety of a bull in a China shop and yet he thought no one would find out if he was shopping Clarry around?

    I don’t care what, if any, issues have been going on behind the scenes with Clarry - Pert getting caught out has made us look like an absolute shambles of a club and this is now a lose lose situation whichever way we go 

    Seriously disappointed to be an MFC member at the moment

    He was overheard in a cafe this morning on his phone telling someone he's off to the Dees.

    • 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.
