    Can you answer my question about what Geelong offers us in return? 

    Also why would Goody heap praise on Clarry and say he will be with us next year, if the club was planning to trade him?

    I think it's highly likely Oliver is with us next year but even if he wasn't, what else would Goody say

    He could say he’s having surgery and we are looking forward to getting him fit.
    He didn’t need to go on about how proud the club is of the progress Clarry made and how happy and determined he is to get to his best. 
    Goody isn’t exactly the smoothest media performer, so if it wasn’t true I think we would be able to see right thru it. But he sounded very very genuine to me. 
     

    Just as I thought he was clear that there are issues to be resolved with Trac. Never lied or denied it.

    A couple of years ago a Carlton supporter told me Clarry would be a Blue, all done.

    Often a supporter hears their club is interested in a player and jumps to conclusions.

    Not knocking you but time will tell. If your mate is correct there will be a lot of egg on Goody’s face.

    Wrong assumption. Club might not want to trade him, but he is being Hunted by Cats and.. Aints

    Exactly how I saw the interview too. I’d be stunned if Clarry left this trade window.

    So if the club doesn’t want to trade him, then the whole thing is moot as he has years to run on his deal. 

    And of course he’s being hunted. He’s a star player. Doesn’t mean anything.

    Biggest media pile on a club since the Essendon peptides saga. When will it stop?

    They deserved it though,  for, you know,  running a secret systematic doping regime

    But it will have been Goodwin's decision.  How do you have egg on your face when you're in control ?  He simply would say the club and Oliver came to a mutual decision.

    Pick 4 and 5 (Josh battle compo) would be a much more enticing proposition for the club. The Saints would have to be bonkers to do it though, but then again, maybe they think they're one ready made superstar away from putting it all together. Maybe Ross Lyon wants to get back into the finals asap. Stranger things have happened!

    Why would the club spend a whole season rehabbing Clarry, and playing him injured, only for his trade value to diminish and then trade him?

    Would it not have been wiser to cut our losses last year when his value was higher, and we were trying desperately to get more picks to make a trade with WCE for pick 1?

    Geelong were keen last year too and had a better draft hand than they do this year. 
    It would be poor list management would it not?

    Your post was good until the last line.

    We've made list management error after list management error for a few years now, Jaded.

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

    Difference being Raygun is going to profit $$$ from it massively

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

    A demonland poll is probably not the fairest assessment of clarry diem this year given some of the nonsense written about him

    If that was the case it would be negligence on the clubs behalf not to accept that offer.

    Love Clarry to bits but you would have to take those picks, if you want the best thing for the MFC.

    A very special player and  If he has the desire to get seriously fit, he will be a massive bonus in 2025. Hope he gets healthy and happy within himself again.

    Ball is in your court Clarrie, but most importantly look after you

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
