    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?

    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

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
