    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

    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?

    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.

    Does he actually want to leave? I'm not quite updated on this whole debacle.

    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.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
