So who's next for the player "allegedly" wanting out of Melbourne? Back to Petracca?

Yeah. It'll be he's come back from his Red Bull training camp looking and feeling great, looking for a new challenge elsewhere... blah blah blah

Looks like you were right.

However after a lifetime supporting this club, given what I have invested emotionally,  I will never give up on them, even if Clarry, my favourite player leaves and anyone else for that matter.

I have made my bed with the Dees and I will lie in it forever.

 

I simply could not fathom watching him tear it up in the midfield with Danger. I think I would need to go into rehab!

    Maybe it is rebuild time? Or maybe it is asking the question 'why do our best players continually shop themselves?'

    My source has reiterated that Geelong have or will offer considerable elements beyond football life. Dont shoot the messenger, but if he goes, then plenty on here will also go including ME!

    Well that side of it doesn't surprise me Picket. He's exactly the type that they need and would be silly not to test it.

    If he does leave. Do you think you would support another club? Or just stop barracking for Melbourne?

    Who leaks to Tom Morris from MFC? 

    They need to do the old Godfather trick, find out who the leak is.

    And the name of your source and the position he/she holds at either club.

    Or just hearsay and rumour.

    A lot on here will go, you mean those who have never changed jobs because of better opportunity, more money, didn't like the workplace etc etc, I think that's called hypocrisy isn't it?

     

    I don't understand why someone would leak to Tom Morris when his reporting is saying that Melbourne need leverage in order for a trade to work. Isn't him reporting it then removing any possibility of leverage?

    All the focus is on Geelong as if it's a two team comp. The Cats always seem to sway the media into conveying to the public it's the player's only option. It is not.

    The Cats will offer us a late pick and ask us to throw in $250 - $350k plus a season.

    Heaps of players from all clubs look around. Seems a contract is not worth much.

    If we refuse to deal because its a [censored] offer and Clarry refuses to train and pay do we still have to pay him????

     

     


    If we trade Oliver, then pursuing Houston is pointless. Without Oliver, we would need a mini rebuild with high end young talent.

    I like to think i don’t overreact often but if Clarry goes I won’t be following footy for a while, maybe for many years. 

    He is our greatest player since Robbie. Second best ever imo 

    I have waited my life for a midfield gun that every other team had in the 90’s and 2000’s

    its tiring following the shifting Oliver narratives.

    Todays narrative: Dees (everyone or some maybe Pert) - have encouraged Oliver to test market. Oliver wants to stay but is testing market.

    I'll be in my reserved seat come our first 2025 home game!

    Salary dump?

    For who?

    Are we clearing cap for a big name? Because right now it seems we can't attract a cockroach to our club, let alone a big name player.

    I would be a very interested watcher of all games he played. Love him, second best player behind Rob Flower in my book!

    I love it when Tom Morris adds a, “make no mistake”. You know he means business then. 

    My mate Digger from Wonky Tatts had the motto:

    Make no mistake-We make mistakes.

    Name another club that has this happening all at once.... if the environment was better, not even Nibbler would consider leaving.

    Richmond


    One thing is for sure, the Cats are loving leaking the news of a meeting to the media and throwing us into further chaos

    normally the club shouldn't react to this type of gossip/speculation but considering the train wreck 2024 has been to date they should either get on the front foot and shut this down or perhaps they are genuinely looking to offload him for reasons alluded to over the last 12 months etc.

    If I get another email from Gary Pert I think I'm going to throw up.

    He is the best mate of the source who is an influential person.

    The good old “I took this meeting just to laugh in your face!” trick by Oliver…

     

     

    I would like to think that's correct - that he met with them in order to tell them to eff off.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
