I wonder what his error of judgment specifically was?

    Hopefully Clarry can put the season from hell behind him. Get his mind and body fit and healthy and get back to playing his best footy which is the best footy I've seen from almost any of his contemporaries.

    Likewise, Geelong have kept an eye on Oliver all season.

    Privately, the Cats think they could accommodate Oliver and Western Bulldogs’ Bailey Smith in its salary cap for next season, but a deal for both would be enormously difficult.

    Good, get him fixed up.

    Is anyone else nervous with Oliver & the upcoming off season?

    Just hope the only headlines we read about him are positive ones

    I'm not nervous. I think he will be head down, bum up, and will come back in ripping form.

    Good, will be a net positive for the final 2 rounds. He's been between serviceable and liability for much of the season and his last 3 weeks diabolical.

    Amw back in ,Judd more midfield please. 

    We need to make clarry earn his spot through performance next year

    Get real !! The bloke has been playing injured and you cannot resist a crack at him !!

    And unquestionably still be our best midfielder this year. 

    Unquestionably? Why then are there 6 midfielders listed above him in the Dland "player of the year"?

    Vic media only want the good players at the clubs they support. Cats, Pies, Blues, Bombers, Dogs. Complete bunch of wankers.

    Who's copping more grief right now?  MFC or Raygun?  The pile on is over the top in both cases.

    https://www.3aw.com.au/sam-mcclure-gives-the-latest-on-the-unfolding-situation-at-melbourne/

    Sam McClure in this grab said that he knows "for a fact" that other players at the club didn't like how Clarry was treated, i.e. saying they'd have been dropped for a month when he didn't cop anything.

    If true (and yes, it's McClure), that tells me one of two things has gone wrong:

    1. The club's response to Clarry's situation was not the right approach having regard to the rest of the team's dynamic and views
    2. The club's response to Clarry's situation was correct, but we don't have a stable playing group who can appreciate this, and/or we weren't able to explain our approach to those other players in a way which they'd accept and understand.

    Maybe the report's not true. He told everyone West Coast wasn't picking Reid because he wasn't going to go there last year. So yeah. But if it's true, it's not good for us.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
