Wow ... that's a seriously long paragraph.

And a very good one

 

Oliver met with Geelong.

Geelong asked the question.

Melbourne asked for three first rounders and told them we won't budge on that.

Geelong said they won't/can't do that.

Subject closed.

For McClure et al to bang on about clearing his Dees locker and choosing his number at the Cats is pure BS.

they are all fwits. And the managers seem even worse. Toxic cycle of gullable young footballers unwittingly fuelling the mess.

He said it to camera on Channel 7.

Still wasting your time Wilmoy how many times are you refusing to believe what Clarry said. All that matters now is he is on board and getting raring  to go. Let it rest. As KD said he said it on Nat TV Ch 7 last Saturday at the races when interviewed. Other footballers were on the same program from Ch 7 obviously invited to attend on the day.

That particular part of the story drove me nuts the most, it was the most hyperbolic BS ever and attempted to make it out that his position at the club was untenable.

I would genuinely like to know from the reporters/journo's of the AFL media, why is it that when there are certain players that have clearly been struggling with mental health issues that they back off, and others that are in the same camp they do everything to make them from page news.

It was the same issue that I had with the reporting on Petracca, I get the drama was juicy but we're dealing with a young bloke who suffered a traumatic injury and was told he almost died. Give it a bloody rest!

Did anything precipitate Oliver meeting with Geelong?

That interview was selectively edited to give answers to the particular questions that this scumbag wanted answered. .Oliver was bailed up in the course of his weekend off  and he would have thought that this would be a sincere recording with truthful motives. As per usual the media have attempted to break up the peace and harmony of Australia's best morally ethical club.

One would assume so but all my info on this comes from the Geelong side so I don't know the intricacies of that.

Yeah I don't participate in this anymore. I get that these forums are meant for the overly dramatic types but some of the infighting these days on here is getting to Carlton/Filth territory.

Why go in it then?


We obviously have the best players and the best standards of all the clubs, just like the Coach said.

And as you say willmoy, we set the highest standards, and are not fooled by fake doctored interviews and false platitudes.

Yeah but they’re not real journos - they are the kind that the joke about the nun buying a donkey ridicule. The one with the final punchline in the paper, “nun sells [censored] for $10”.

The autocensor has gone right over the woke top - the word presumably censored, I will try a55, has been used to describe a donkey for thousands of years, including multiple mentions in biblical texts.  According to a google search over 60 references to the beast.  

The woke are certainly making donkeys of themselves.   

I couldn't used the common abbreviation of Richard on several occasions even though it was capitalised and is widely used.  Making themselves Richards over this one too.

What next?  Demon may be taken as satanic so maybe eventually we won't  be able to use that either?

Everything I’ve heard from Clayton makes me think he’s going to have a break out year. What that means for a 3xAA I’m not sure. Might put a couple of $ on him for Chas. 

What have ou heard Stu?

Just what he’s been saying in any interviews - training hard, disappointed with last year, going to get MFC back up the ladder. Seems very focused and more serious than usual.

How could Geelong do this?

Didn't the Geelong interest predate the club gauging interest from others?

exactly . Just not the story that gets clicks. 

Intersting with Bailey Smith they spent so much time getting him over too. So, by the time it came  to “trade” him everyone knows he’s going to Geelong and the cats give v little to get him. That’s their playbook.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
