Michael Gleeson has reported on it. 

Read the article.

One of the few journalists who has maintained credibility over a long career and doesn't chase a controversy for the clicks.

He's weighed in because he firmly believes what he has heard.

It's the club that has started this. 

Clayton is on the market for the second year in a row at the clubs request. Clubs don't trade their best players for no reason, Clayton being traded is what the club believes is the best idea. He has less value now than he did last year and we will get  unders in return.

As reported, the club is in crisis.

It's time for us to accept it and stop trying to blame McClure, Morris and Gleeson for telling us the truth.

A sad time for the club, but the club lives on and the sun will rise tomorrow.


A bit rich, no?

 

I can't wait to they offload Oliver he has created headline after headline been a cancer to the club this year. He is an absolute disgrace. JUST GO CLARRY YOU HAVE MY BLESSING!

It doesn't matter who he calls. If he has reached out in his capacity as a CEO, he has stepped into the list management lane, and he needs to be fired for it IMO.


I wonder if Pert would assume this role himself if TL were to be relieved of his duties..?

You know.. I’m finding myself increasingly moving in this direction. Maybe he has been the root of all problems culturally for several years now and we need to accept the short term pain to move forward for the next 5 years and beyond.

I’m also a little surprised at how outraged I’ve felt. He was not good this year.. and even when he was winning the ball, he was blindly throwing the ball on his boot, inevitably to an opposition player who would rebound the other way. Time and again. Opposition teams could rely on it.

Maybe him moving on will allow us to reset the culture. Maybe it is what is needed to satisfy Petracca. And maybe it will go some way to fixing our offensive issues.

I don’t know.. but maybe it would turn out to be the right thing..?

I think these are valid points. I also like the use of the word "Maybe". Football clubs are full of "let's make our own story!" If we are successful with Clarrie then it was the right thing to do. If not then maybe we should have moved him on when we had the chance. If he moves on during this trade period and we become successful again then we did the right thing moving him on. If we move him on and have another bad year then gee we missed Clarrie.

The funny thing is out of all four scenarios whichever one does come to fruition there will be a bunch of hindsight Harry's telling us how they knew this was going to happen!

The only absolute disgrace is this post 

Clarrie, as great a footballer as he is, has always come across as a little immature and easily lead. I can't help but feel that the genesis of much of this was when we seemingly did away with the 'no DH' rule. A recently retired player (and poor driver) who came to us from a West Melbourne club was a certified DH and, from all accounts, a son of a gun who cannot play for us for a while, if ever. smashed through the DH ceiling also. 

His head was turned.

I may well be wrong but this has always been my gut feel.

It's not a disgrace it's fact he is a bad influence and should have been traded last year. I want people like him and Smith out of the club.

I will always maintain we should have shipped him last year and taken 4 first rounders to the draft. Heck, I was for sending Petty with him and taking 6.

Should have done the back burning last year when we could so we didn’t now have to put out this raging bushfire.

We were looking after the individual, not the player

A wonderful analogy Undeeterred

Those wondering if there is anything in this potential trade situation, just listen to Cal T., he doesn’t go with stuff like this unless it’s legit, unlike others.

Clarry is the ginger-ninja. 

Players who I have felt upset about leaving the MFC:

Jeff Farmer (to be honest, I can't remember my feelings that much).

Liam Jurrah (I thought we could still work it out).

Sam Frost (made football fun, but I got over it after a good breakfast). 

If Clayton, Trac or Kysaiah leave, I'll probably take the opportunity as well. 

Soft. But I'm sick of this abusive relationship. 

And our own fans who constantly gaslight and fuel it.

Any link between Trac staying and Oliver going?

Damien Barrett sure thinks so on Trade Radio.

Your post says more about you than what it does Clarry. He has been an amazing player for us, one of our best, ever. Who knows what someone is going through/experiencing that can often lead to certain, abnormal (for them) behaviours. How about you quit being such a child and show him some support. Since bombing out of the finals two seasons in a row, in straight sets, we’ve been low-hanging fruit for the media. Don’t blame Clarry for the media’s almost constant witch-hunt, over the last year or so, on our club. Consider how the media would react if one of our players found themselves in a situation similar to that of Stengle earlier this season? The media would have been unforgiving. Yet, Stengle, who plays for Geelong, has faced little to no backlash

Maybe.

I owe some people on here and apologies and I realise how rose coloured my views have been. Looking back I can see how I've stuck my head in the sand and thought thing would just turn out alright.

I'm as disappointed as everyone else.

As stated, Oliver doesn't want to leave

Club open to him staying

Pert goes and does his own thing.

 

And yet he opens up enquiries on other parts of the football club. He's a disgrace

Couldn't agree more. An alleged 'supporter' who is not a true supporter of this great football club. He also has a very bad memory.

How in 3 yrs after winning a flag and a great midfield have we unraveled & unbelievably our top 5 picks of brayshaw retired , Oliver who knows , trac who knows may all be possibly gone ..only the mfc can manufacture this ..

Well said Ethan. Never a truer word has been spoken.

Thinking outside of the box…. Melbourne are on the AFL’s watch list. Given the rumours which swirled around during the year and the incidents that allegedly occurred but haven’t been settled yet, the AFL may be the one pulling the strings here. They certainly have an interest in ensuring the AFL brand doesn’t get damaged any further and I’m sure their close connection with the media enabled them to quietly move Rothey on and steer the club in a different direction in terms of the board.

it may have been a tap on the shoulder from the AFL which led to Pert jumping on the phone. Not making excuses for him, just highlighting the fact that the AFL is involved in lots of stuff we don’t see.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
