I mean they donโ€™t fact check any of the other ๐Ÿ’ฉ they write about Clarry, so why bother getting his age right?

How these people still have day jobs is beyond me.

I have only come across Jay Clark this year, apart from the odd nothing comment on MMM

I donโ€™t like his style at allโ€ฆ

Aside from this site I pretty much now ignore any other media, be it whatโ€™s on telly or in the newspapers or any other social media when it comes to anything about football. (other than watching the games)

Ironically, when the footy season started I also chose to no longer watch the news on tv at night time . It was really beginning to make me depressed.

Outcome being I look forward to watching the games come Thursday night and onwards as well as attending our games.

For me ignorance is now bliss when it comes to not knowing what is going down in the commercial entertainment industry called the AFL, as well what is happening in the real world.

Go Dees!

 

Three wins in a row. They couldn't take it without having pot-shots. What an illiterate bunch of child like scribblers, purporting to be writers.

Lloyd first. He gets so excited when he wins the footy question segment, amongst the other drivel. Then when he loses, he questions the veracity of the answer and the question.

I couldn't be bothered talking about so many others at the moment save to say that their intellectual capacity is indicative of their sense of humour.

And the Cats might have the most disciplined pay structure in the game, meaning if Melbourne are at all interested in off-loading Oliver they will likely have to chip in several hundreds of thousands of dollars at least, like Collingwood did on Adam Treloar.

Easy to have that when the sugar daddies cover the rest of the actual salary.

Every year, the same old [censored]. All good players to Geelong, Collingwood or Hawthorn.

Oliver, 29, is a much better teammate, the Demons all say, after some serious talks and guidance in recent years, and captain Max Gawn deserves much of the credit for helping keep his mate on track.

Clarry has aged 2 years in the Article for a start.

Says he is 29, but he was born in July 1997.

it's actually incredible how much the media hates the MFC and has done for many many years. I can remmeber the narrative after we won the premiership - it was all "when will the premiership hangover kick in", "it's gone to their heads", "they are an arrogant, selfish group". Barely any attention waqs given to the premiership itself.

Many more examples I could go through but I really don't have the energy.

After trying to have the coach fired at the beginning of the uear, it's all attention on Oliver again, now that we are winning. The fl0gs in the media pedal care for mental health and it's just virtue signalling for the masses. They are clickbait specialists with no care for the individual. They pick and choose their targets. Some clubs, like Geelong, have their dirty laundry tidied up, while ours is hang out to dry. It's pathetic.

How many weeks until we are sacking Gawn as captain again, or when is the next piece on Tracc and his disdain for the club. Bunch of nonsense.

Racetrack Ralphy who's not everyone's cup of tea but is a passionate Demon and long time media figure put it best when I heard him speak before a game years ago.

For the big clubs, good news sells. That's why you'll rarely see anything critical about Collingwood, Richmond, Hawthorn, Geelong and West Coast in WA. And why you get the annual "this is their year - things are different this time around" article about Essendon when they're 7-5 at halfway before the inevitable falling off a cliff.

For the smaller clubs, bad news sells. Only a small amount of people actually care about any good news, the vast majority only want to read about any drama or negative slants about the likes of Norf, Dogs, us, Saints and Freo in WA.

This isn't to say that every negative report on us is rubbish by the way, but that's always stuck with me.


44 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

Garry Lyonโ€™s MFC source on Scoops Manureโ€™s claim that Oliver opted out of playing meth coke due to reduced playing time: โ€œthat is complete and utter [censored]โ€

This is what makes it clear thereโ€™s a media agenda against us as opposed to just some negative stuff going on.

The Oliver trade to Geelong was clearly an attempt but it didnโ€™t happen for a number of reasons, many will remain rumours forever as they relate specifically to what two or three people did or rumours about what they did and what they were feeling.

Instead of letting dead dogs lie, accepting it was something to report on and its over now they attempt to keep the story alive ALL YEAR in an attempt to make it more true in retrospect and to try to besmirch the people who shut the story down at the time, because it wasnโ€™t happening and didnโ€™t happen. Itโ€™s pathetic and seems to be aimed at our club more than most. Sam McClure knows this is nothing to do with the Geelong trade and that Clayton has had serious issues that itโ€™s good heโ€™s now putting his hand up when they overwhelm him. Instead of showing due sensitivity to him or even acknowledging the positive step for Clayton instead he uses it as an opportunity to air his story, again. Pathetic.

A certain nasty rumour which was aimed at our coach for the better part of four years and was apologised for, admitted got โ€œout of handโ€ and wasnโ€™t true in the end of of a certain court proceeding earlier this year is another example. The entire footy media knew it wasnโ€™t true years ago, but they kept it out there, just to destabilise our club and undermine our coach. Hurting our ability as fans to enjoy one of the most successful and competitive periods in the clubs last fifty years. And now here we go againโ€ฆ.

I used to love all footy media, even the really bad shows like the Sunday footy show and footy classified. Now I canโ€™t watch any of them as if theyโ€™re not ripping us apart off field theyโ€™re implying nasty rumours that they will later use to rip us apart off field. Besides MFCโ€™s actual games there is so little football media that is trustworthy or enjoyable for us as MFC fans. Itโ€™s all Collingwood and Hawthorn fluffing and small club bullying. How can that be a sustainable model?

id also like to point out the clear difference in treatment when clarry needs a week off vs harry mckay or oscar allen who didnt then get articles written about how theyre unhappy etc etc.

With the amount of huffing & puffing that goes on Iโ€™m surprised the AFL media hasnโ€™t generated its own weather system

What really grinds my gears with this [censored] that Jay has written (and continues to perpetuate) is that he highlights how valuable a player Oliver would be for the cats and their push for a premiership, while in the same breath says that he'd need to be traded for a much lower price than Melb probably think he's worth. So which is it? Missing premiership puzzle piece or speculative trade bait not worth the money?

Here's a headline "Journalist trying to tank value of star player in a bid to help his team get him for nothing"

If he wants to leave and if there's really no animosity toward the club, I want to see him to opt take a significant pay cut, Geelong cover that and trade for what he's worth. You can't just sign a monster contract, then request a trade and expect the club to cover it while you play for someone else.

Itโ€™s not just us and Clarry theyโ€™re targeting at the moment, theyโ€™re also working overtime to get Harley Reid back to a Victorian club (not us obviously, theyโ€™ll be pushing the usual suspects).


I don't get the Harley reid story either. What vibe is he giving off he doesn't want to be there? He's a kid in his 2nd year.

Also I cannot believe rioli got away with his comments, flip the bird you get a fine, threaten a player nothing

You know why Australia has an unemployment rate of 4.1%?

Because our economy is strong enough to house thousands upon thousands of โ€œmade-up jobsโ€. Like the guy that came to my house to test the batteries in the smoke alarms this morning.

And AFL journalists.

Like others I loathe most AFL scribes, some more than others.

But lets not spare the lowlifes who feed them from the shadows. If they are mfc people, from his management team or friends it is negligent, shameful and the ultimate betrayal.

They all have a duty of care and right now that care looks rather flimsy. People outside those groups have no business commenting on any player, especially if not from their club.

It is a simple equation: No leaks = no headlines !!!

The AFL top 25. Again by staff writers (aka faceless dribblers)

Gawn squeaks in now at number 10. Wow. Iโ€™d say heโ€™s the MVP in the league for the past 3 weeks. Heโ€™s behind Cameron 7, Warner 8 and Serong 9. Thatโ€™s insulting. Heโ€™s twice the player of these blokes.


Iโ€™ll quote my mother again with regards to gossip, as I have all my adult life - Believe Nothing That You Hear and Only Half Of What You See. if Clayton Oliver comes out at the end of the year and says I want a trade then and only then will I give it any credibility. I no longer rely on the AFL media circus and sadly try to glean my intelligence from Demonland, with mixed results. lolโ€ฆ.!!!!

If you're renting it's illegal for the smoke alarm not to be hard wired....or so I believe.

He was ok on the mid week tackle last year, but his work so far this year has been quite average. How he got the gig as Chief HS footy writer over Jon Ralph beggars belief.

The journos haven't updated their 'Player X wants to leave Demons' article template from Petracca to Oliver yet!

    Weโ€™re back! That was fun. The Mighty Deesโ€™ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commandingย 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
