Ironically, today’s Herald Sun carries an article by Scott Gullan entitled “AFL ‘AUSTRALIAN FESTIVAL OF LIES’ IN TRADE SEASON Clubs ‘hoodwink’ fans”.

No need to guess who the major hoodwinker happens to be.

 

Would love to see the AFL journalists called out on the show 'Media Watch', however I suspect there would be too much material for their show and would blowout to become a daily 30 minute show instead.

    I think it's probably a question of semantics. For Lamb, back-room offers and calls to check on availability or hint that player X could be available for the right place are probably everyday occurrences.

    For the rest, we don't know who did what in all this. Between MFC, Geelong, Oliver's manager and any number of others who might have been across what was gong on, we'll probably never know the details.

    100% agree. With that being the case, why are posters on here obsessed with potting the media, as if it's totally fabricated. You've even got a poster writing a complaint to the AFL, when they have no idea of what is accurate and what is not.

    Supporters should be more upset with how the club have handled this rather than how the media have reported it.

    That is the whole point, it is a fabrication or so it seems and it is undermining the club.

    Most of the so called issues have been driven by the media

    How do you know that? The club could easily have told Oliver, his management and the Geelong FC that he will be held to his contract, and there is no story. They clearly didn't, otherwise Oliver wouldn't have met with Geelong players.

    To say it's media driven is nonsense.

    Give me a spell, the club is a basketcase and is being run into the ground by a bunch of amateurs. They deserve everything they're copping, supporters should be demanding accountability not making excuses and blindly cheerleading the management of the club.

    This is from someone that attended the B & F. Some want to hear this, some don’t. No biggie. The below was sent to me. 

    I said “Please Clarrie, tell me you’re not leaving us.” He just smiled. I was drunk as it was but then the anger kicked in. I said, “This is messed up. Why are you doing this?!” He said, “Remember what I’ve told you before? The only way I’d leave the club is if they booted me out, otherwise I’m not going anywhere. That still stands and always will.”
     I said, “If Pert or whoever dares to offload you, I’ll burn down the MCG.”
    He said, “Don’t believe everything you read.”

    If you are referencing Oliver & Petracca then all the furore has been caused by the 2 players, not the club

    Selfish, self entitled and greedy

    Oliver went completely off the rails with Petracca sooking it up because he didn't get enough visits

    Both can play and many will disagree but if viewed as commodities only, they owe the club - big time

    Both need to perform or the supporters will really turn on them

    They are getting paid a lot of money and the club will need a return on investment

    Nearly all the issues we've seen at the club are attached to both players.  Both players have dragged the club through the mud

    If you were Goodwin, you'd be tearing your hair out.  We can't expect the coach to be a trained psychologist

    Maybe lying is the new norm along with social media, long contracts and working from home. Honesty is antiquated.

    Yeah, of course he doesn't want to leave

    He's getting paid $10Million (guaranteed) over the next 6 years and who would walk away from that sort of money? 

    And it's quite obvious that no other club would pay him that amount of money so of course he wants to stay

    I'm wondering if there are clauses in his contract that can lead to a contract default.  If not, those clauses should exist

    Of course Scotty Gullan has never lied, stretched the truth or drawn conclusions to get a spicy story out. Nor have any of his esteemed colleagues

    FWIW - the following is a response from the club to an email i sent last week to Brad Green.

     

    Thank you for your email.

    We recognise that this has been a challenging time, and we truly appreciate the support of all our members.

    As a club, we are continually seeking ways to improve, and your feedback plays a vital role in that process.

    External experts have been engaged as part of both the Board and Football Department reviews. As previously communicated, the ambition of both review processes is to strive for excellence and to ensure, that as our game demands, we evolve to achieve sustained success.

    The reviews of both the AFL program and the Board will be completed in October and the priorities identified will be communicated to members. 

     

    In relation to the AFL Trade Period, we encourage you to only listen to direct club sources for your information. AFL List Manager Tim Lamb addressed media on Monday and made it abundantly clear that Clayton won't be going anywhere. You can have a watch of his interview here.

     

    In addition, during his address at Friday night's AFL Best and Fairest, President Brad Green reinforced his excitement of seeing Clayton as part of our midfield in 2025. This speech can be viewed here.

     

    With an increase in speculation and rumour, we know this time of year can be unsettling for our members and supporters. We encourage you to keep an eye on our club website for official updates.

     

    We thank you again for reaching out to share your feedback. We truly value your thoughts and will be sure to relay them to the appropriate team.

    • 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 1Âœ 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.
