Are there no other clubs that can hit the news re trades/non trades? Are we the only club?

Clarry is not going anywhere. And those willing to sell him down the river for a couple of speculative 1st round picks - I will look out for your supportive comments when he's tearing up the midfield again, like his normal self after a big preseason. Poor guy - building up to be, if not already, in the conversation as one of our best EVER. He has 1 average year (average, not 'bad' - just 'bad' to some according to his ridiculously lofty standards) and suddenly he's expendable. For unknowns. 

I've read, and it seems to be the case, that he's an emotional guy. I think it would mean a lot to him that we have his back, and don't just want to give him the old heave-ho for a bag of beans. 

Ridiculous!!!

So well-said. And so true. Clarrie is definitely an emotional person. He’s emotionally fragile and I reckon the club is succeeding in working with him on this. And you’re right about it meaning a lot to him knowing we have his back; I reckon his self-confidence took a huge hit so any form of support and encouragement is gratefully received. He’s definitely improving though… wears his heart on his sleeve does our Claz.

He’s said on more than one occasion ‘the only way I’d leave Melbourne is if they didn’t want me and got rid of me.’ Sad way to word it but that’s how he feels.

From memory he said we were interested in Will Hayward. Not that we’d definitely land him. Do you know how many players clubs show interest in that don’t end up getting done?!

As previously stated, if you don’t like it then don’t read it. It’s like that famous Ricky Gervais stand up line about guitar lessons - if you don’t like it then move on! Why on earth would you try to censor something that other people appreciate and doesn’t adversely affect you?

Thanks for telling me what to do. So appreciated. Plenty others on here sick of the unsubstantiated garbage that gets posted by some. Can't you see it's all to fan their insatiable egos? Will Hayward is the perfect example of the '50cents each way 'mentality.  Same now with Clarry when it's least needed. Notice your beloved poster a few hours ago giving us the 'inside scoop' of Houston to the Saints. Pity that was reported on Midweek Tackle over 24 hours ago. 😄

No need to apologise.  If I said it I'd readily admit it but I didn't. Said some other stuff but not that. Cheers.

So you’re a liar the same way you claim everyone else here is?

Just gotta love these people🤣🤣🤣" I have actual sources. I work in the field". Side splittingly hilarious! Go on, supply those sources. Of course you can't.Like McClure, Morris etc you have none. Meantime I have a source that says you're a Collingwood plant on these boards. Sorry, can't reveal who that is.😘

Ahhhhh yeah I remember you now.

Yeah you said it (in jest) that jaded was a Collingwood plant. It was on the Christian Petracca thread at 19:13 on Saturday.

’Meantime, I have a source that says you’re a Collingwood plant on these boards’

You have form in questioning who is and isn’t a true supporter when you come across posts you disagree with. 

Weird.

Stephen Rowe on SA FIVEAA radio did mention that Adelaide will be going after Oliver again this year.

I’m not surprised. They tried last year why not try again? 
Good luck convincing Clarry to move to Adelaide.

Thanks @goodwindees who made clear it was another club asking, no harm in asking. Just take NO for an answer please. I get we are all on hair triggers ATM. People asking questions drivers perceived value up and as was said, alot more gets talked about than done in this space. There is the perfect video for this btw.

Perhaps you missed the irony pal? I was asked if I seriously said you were a Collingwood plant. Perhaps you're not bright enough to differentiate between those who claim to know inside info and myself using an obviously absurd example to prove that point. Goodnight.

Perhaps you missed the emoji at the conclusion of my 'joke'? Not surprising.😘

What's a Collingwood plant?

I didn’t ask if you ‘seriously said you were a Collingwood plant’ of @Jaded No More

I asked you if you questioned if jaded was a Collingwood plant….. OR ….NOT A REAL MELBOURNE SUPPORTER.

And low and behold, look at what you said to jaded here:

Your perception buddy. Not us true supporters. 

Now what’s the opposite of a true supporter? Maybe a fake supporter? I.e. NOT A REAL SUPPORTER.

Your words:

‘If I said it I'd readily admit it but I didn't. Said some other stuff but not that.

Soooooo you’re a liar.

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
