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

Aren't interviews with Viney always awkward?

Jack has spoken, end of story. 🫣

He didn’t answer in the most convincing fashion having to pause and change his words when saying “Clazz is looking forward to….you know I’m looking forward to”. We’ll know soon enough…

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

But he wasn’t ready in his mind or body

That’s the point. He needed serious work ethic and discipline to get himself right

I reckon you should be the MFC's Crisis Management Team

I've only recently discovered the GIF button. If you head over to the BnF thread I've posted my favourite so far.....although the crashing aeroplane remains a close second.

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. 

And that was also a poor decision, probably why De Goey has also failed to reach his potential. And don’t think for a second the decision may yet come back to bite us.

Not all clubs.  This club went ok after this.  And then Stokes was suspended for 7 weeks.

Morris reporting the board said no once they found out. 

So did the board not know, then found out, then intervened?

Who else at the club isn’t in the know or on the same page?

Another casual untruth from Tom to suit his narrative. 

you telling me the board only became aware of the Oliver situation today Tom?

lol

Found out what exactly? Found out that we wouldn't be getting 2 first rounders for him?

Also hard to believe that the Board only "found out" in the last day or two when this has been going on for a week or more.

We'll never know the true story here, but I suspect that the only real reason this isn't going through is that we can't get Oliver's salary off our books plus a couple of decent picks. Could be wrong of course.

Tom Morris, you bloody crab. Back in August, he also reported that Shai Bolton was gone from Richmond and would be requesting a trade. Two days later, he reports that “in a bizarre twist”, Bolton will be staying at Richmond. What an absolute ****truck of a guy.

Saints now have picks 7 and 8.

Would the Saints come for Oliver knowing that either those picks would get the deal done?

Weirdly, I’d be much more OK with Claz at the Saints. In fact I’d go so far as to say if he was a part of their first flag since ‘66, I’d actually be happy for the guy.

Clarry ain't going anywhere,Cats couldn't even afford him and give us suitable picks with Bailey Smith coming to the Cats.

This is all just BS by Morris and McClueless to fill rubbish articles.

I'll read this thread again on the last day of trade week and find surprise,surprise Clarry is and always was staying,you can all waste the next 3 weeks of your life on the pointless thread!!!

I said the above 3 days ago,you don't have to waste the next 3 weeks on this thread now!!!

if I was Tom Morris…

I’d get my teeth fixed and upgrade my wardrobe

I’d be more respectful of women across the entire spectrum

I’d suck up to my superiors (although this is sometimes difficult for a bloke like me ((Tom)) to acknowledge that I have superiors!)

I’d trawl through club sites to find chinks I can exploit

I’d make bold statements based on rumour and innuendo, but always insert an ‘out clause’ near the end of my report.

I’d never reveal my sources, even if they don’t exist!

I’d spend all my spare time ringing around to try and identify my next victim/exclusive/click/bait/hook/fake/controversy/… ( insert your own journalistic mumbo jumbo here….. )

I’d polish my smile and ramp up my smugness, then proceed to get in front of a camera and speak intensely about some poor soul whose vulnerability is not my concern!

We suspended Steven May for drinking while in concussion protocols, while May and Melksham had to do community service after their punch-up. Don't think we're reluctant to apply penalties where necessary.

Perhaps in Oliver's case suspension and/or missing matches wasn't seen to be in anyone's best interest. He needs routine. Difficult to get the balance right.

Tom Morris is the LAST journalist anyone on our board or administration would ever talk to after his disastrous time at the club. Anything he says is either second hand or straight up made up. No credibility at all.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
