    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
