That’s just absolute rot. He got Brownlow votes, he was fine 

Wrong.
Clarry was gassed by the Second Quarter. I don’t take any notice of the Brownlow

    Couldn't agree more.  And this again shows he's treated differently to others.  I don't care how good he was/is - he needed to have several months of hard work to get back into that team. Instead he trained for 5 minutes and never missed an AFL game.  

    A very Wise answer….

    I admire the loyalty to the club, I really do, but don't let it blind you and make you out to be a fool. This constant blaming the media instead of holding leaders at the club accountable reminds me of the Essendon supporters response to their doping program.

    its not me with any loyalty to the club, i simply said there is no way a CEO of football has done the ring around. there is numerous, 3+ player management roles within the club, and the CEO is definitely not one of them

    All this argument about what punishment Clayton should’ve would’ve could’ve had.
    The time is gone, cutting off our nose to spite our face now will not help. 

    I’m glad he’s staying, he makes us a better team, his form dropped against Port when he hurt his hand and never recovered. We’re a better team with him, Geelong are worse without him and we’ve missed out on a 2026 pick which wouldn’t have helped us next year anyway. I don’t care what the media say, their bias against us is clear. Maybe our club is a dumpster fire, maybe it’s not. There’s actually been very little concrete proof. I’m backing Clayton in for a huge 2025 and with a bit of luck with injuries and our young blokes improving, + pick 5 a new forward and mid coach and some cobwebs cleared out in the program we’ll be a formidable team.

    Let’s be realistic here, if you think everything that has come out has been a lie then you are delusional 

    By the same token if you believe everything that is in the media you certainly are delusional.

    Dees not trading him, will address it at the B&F

    Cats only prepared to take his full (or close to full) contract if he came cheap via trade

    OK if Oliver stays what’s Petracca going to do?

    the depth at Casey had done the work in the preseason to be fit to play AFL. Goodwin and others selected Oliver when he had not done the work and was not fit to play AFL and this was exploited by his opponents who knew they could outspread him, and the more they ran, the further he'd be behind them. 

    For CARRRYST SAKE HE PLAYED MOST OF THE SEASON WITH A BADLY BROKEN HAND!

    Why did he do that PF? Or why did the Club pick him then? Either Clarry or the Club cannot / don’t deserve to use that excuse.

    PS I assume you won’t be leaving us now PF?

    Well Crisis Management must not be the General Manager for Media and Comms forte.

    lol

    the way the media are heading, most clubs will need to hire a dedicated crisis manager ... or just do a deal with the bikies

    The last 2 months have been brutal on so many fronts.  So many poor choices by the club and grade 1 level of communication to members and supporters.  But we need to move to looking forward - hoping Thomas Fullers famous quote is correct starting tomorrow - “ the darkest hour is right before the dawn”. - and the Paul Kelly addition - “ and in the hour of greatest slaughter the great avenger is being born…”.    Eyes forward now

    That's shortened quite a bit. We were $51 and 15th about a week ago!

    Rightio

    The issue is nobody can tell me who we should have played instead. I’d take Clarry at 80% over any of the other options at 100

    ADHD is not a mental health issue. It's neurological disorder. 

    However, living with it can create mental health issues though equally, people with ADHD can enjoy perfect mental health in the right environment and with the right support.

    Awkward live interview with Viney form the B and F and channel 10 news.

    Reporter “(Oliver) met with Geelong, he clearly has some interest, have you spoken to him recently at all and what has he said?”

    Viney “yeah I’ve spoken to Claz and at this time of year there’s always you know trade rumours and this kind of stuff and players meeting with other clubs so I spoke to Clazz and he’s you know, looking forward to umm…”

    *looks awkwardly away to someone off camera

    ”..you know, I’m looking forward to him being part of the Melbourne Footy Club next year.”

    Reporter “and you’re certain he is as well?”

    Viney “I’m mean I’m not privy to list management decisions but my understanding is yeah, he’s a Melbourne Football player next year.”

    Yet had we made him continue to do a block of pre season training and made a statement after the Lorne incident with a multiple game ban as other clubs did with Stevie J, Heath Shaw and Michael Walters in the past we may well have

    1. Got his fitness at a level which would have lasted for the remainder of the season 

    2. Set a standard and message to the playing group that poor behaviour would not be tolerated 

    3. Made a decision which didn’t cause division within the playing group over preferential treatment 

    4. Long term view but we may not be in the current situation had we chosen action as opposed to talking tough

    Whilst i agree he should have been made to work for his place in the team, the AFL has a culture of sweeping things under the carpet. Look at De Geoy, beating a man and forcibly touching a woman, spent time in NY jail. Punishment was zero games missing. Many stars have a different set of rules than their teammates. We are not alone here. 

    Jack has spoken, end of story. 🫣

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • 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.
