Good.  Anyone who was continuously attacking his performances recently should take note that he was playing in absolute agony. His hand was never properly operated on, it was only a quick fix. His k

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"?

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
