I wonder what his error of judgment specifically was? 

Ha ha we may never find out but the AFL pack have not attempted to sniff it out.!!

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.

What operation are you having, Mr Fowler? 

Lobotomy

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"?

[biggestred 5,075]

Righto geelong, what are you stumping up for him then?

[John Demonic 5,786]

Not that its happening, but Max Holmes and your two first rounders at a minimum

[Clintosaurus 7,843]

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.

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.
