Those mugs wouldn't know how to stack the number of hay bales they cut, without trying to under count.

Have the cats crossed Clarry’s name off the board?

 

Good question. Matt Rowell is similar kind of player to Clarry, I can’t see them both playing in the same side.

I can. The Cats are the only club in the AFL that don’t have a salary cap.

Rowell is closer to Viney than he is Sir Clayton

Yeah good call. I thought he was a bit bigger.

I actually think it's about time for the AFL to introduce anti-tampering rules similar to the NBA and NFL to stop this [censored] of meeting contracted players to convince them to join and stop media speculation/agenda ro get players to certain clubs. It's just garbage currently allowing the status quo to remain as is.

The whole system needs a major disruptor to happen - ie gold coast openly meeting and courting nick daicos to show that's a debacle currently

Same here. Surprised to read he’s only 180cm. The Cats have their hearts set on a ginger.

Got to get in ahead of Tasmania with the 'think of the savings on sunscreen' pitch.

Geelong's salary cap must be [redacted] [redacted] than a [censored]'s [censored]. Bunch of grubby cheats.

I think Geelongs interest in Oliver was more about trying to buy cheap. Moneyball.

I'm glad we held out with both Trac and Clayton (obviously) as given the situation we would have been lowballed for sure.

I don't think either will go now at the end of this year, but if they do we should get reasonable compensation. This also makes me less nervous about any Kozzie trade. We have shown we won't be bent over when a contracted player aks for out. By the time these contracts run out there is no doubt circumstances will be quite different and there is every chance the player will be happier to continue with us.

Also I thought the club handled the Neil Bullen trade with a lot of class. Against what many in the media would have us believe I think we've had a great off season, given we have moved on our former President and CEO. To have all the upheaval dealt with before Christmas and move into the New Year with a stable club was no mean feat.

I say well done MFC.

Agree most definitely.

Great work Brad and Co.

Thats cus they've moved on from Clarry to Rowell mate, spot-on. Clubs know the chance to get Clarry was LY -- Once we knocked it on its head they'd of moved onto next target fairly fast, he was only appealing due to perceived 'bargain' price if we did deem it bets to move him on, thankfully we didn't!

Didn't see this -- absolutely spot-on, was only as the perceived price IF we did ant the saga to end there and then was insanely good and would've (from cats perspective) potentially even had us paying some salary etc so now that he is fit and firing the likelihood of him being available at the low price is even less moving fwd. The hope was that we were 'done' with the drama and wanted to get another pick in LY Draft knowing we loved its depth etc, it was a cheeky 'lets see' and my frustration was that morins in media tried to sell it as being viable option for us which is idiotic and farcical but that is what they do...

Clarry to Cats is well and truly dead in water atm, just like a Trac trade request is.. More to play out obviously but I cannot see us being in sellers market at end-of-year barring a disaster and even then it'd be a limited chance at best. Trac scuttlebutt came about from (allegedly - this is only what I have heard from ppl who know parties involved as well as my own battles on X msngr with Morris himself, it is only a version not fact obv) Bella's profession & knowing ppl in the US sports arena where its all about branding & trade requests aren't a big deal etc amplified by the hurt of the Trac inj etc the nature of how serious it wound up being etc pushed things to be said and explored that likely otherwise never would have, but things are in a diff spot right now & it'd have to be a really significant further breakdown for things to redevelop back into that mindset so whilst it is always a chance for any player, I like to blv its a situation that is buried for good! Morris was getting his info from that side, mgmt etc and kept pushing the narrative based on that info. Otherwise we'd likely never heard much of it at all!

Looking fwd to a fruitful 2025 where all this dissipates into anecdotal sidenotes only and the whole saga can be out behind us!

Did folks watch AFL 360 tonight? haven’t watched in years but there was a great interview with Clarry where he owns up to his issues and talks about being put up for trade. 

Apologies if already in another thread

Ill post a link when they upload it to youtube. 

Really positive for Clarry and the coming season

Yep saw it. I wonder if it gets equal coverage as a positive story than it did the other way round.

Must be fake. People on Demonland told me Clarry was never considered for a trade and it was just a media beat up.

let it go Koz

I feel by mid season the league might be standing back in awe of this guy. It's no mean feet coming back from where he's been. I hope he gets the accolades he deserves. Hats off. Let's hope JUH can find some inspiration and make his way back. It's a long road.


He said he's building every week but not fully back to his best.  If 28 and 3 with 11 clearances is 'building' then I'm looking forward to seeing him back to his best.

There was a brief 7sports update last night where it reported Oliver attibuted Brad Green for mending his relationships with the club. Haven't really looked around for it as it was very brief update during ads. Anyway, was a positive story nonetheless.

Yeah it was a good watch!  

As an aside, how much better is AFL 360 now that ranting buffoon Robbo is gone!  👍

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
