Is Felgate thick, or is she just pretending?

Clearly Brad is referring to ALL the loser journalists who have gone to town this week, and wrote literal garbage about Clarry, after the club specifically asked for privacy and told the world he’s having a hard time.

Like FFS Jacqui, stop defending these useless ambulance chasers who are the first ones to cry when the footy world loses a player to mental health battles, but also the first ones to put out a dozen articles getting stuck into players when they’re struggling.

[censored] RIGHT OFF!

Harry McKay, Oscar Allen, Elijah Hollands, take time away for MH. Respectful Silence from the media.

Clayton Oliver does the same and, it's

"Oliver is salty that he wasn't traded".

"He is upset with game time".

"He needs a change of environment ",

"Melbourne should sell him cheap to the cats, because he is the missing link"

And my personal favorite ,from Jay Clark, "Clayton must look at the cats and think what could have been."

And today he gets a doorstop at training

It's actually shameful behavior from the media.

The media don't like us being good.

Brad is a fine man….

I doubt the comments made by Greenie and the North Melbourne president recently are going to make a shred of difference. There is no way the media are going to acknowledge that they have stepped over the line. Not to mention that it's the organisations these people work for who are to a large extent funding the large contracts people like Claz are paid. Some people like Max and Danger are happy to make it work in their favour whilst other do the opposite. Either way to a large extent they are all part of one big organism.

That replacement for Tim Watson on 7 News said last night - “ he (Oliver) has virtually requested a trade”. My god - spare me! It would be nice to get Dillon and Kane in the same room to really unpack the hypocrisy of their tin pot organisation - match review, umpires, selective concern for mental health, aligned media - the list goes on! Complete frauds. Kudos to our President.

I can imagine it would be fairly easy to diffuse those stop-and-chats. Just hold out your hand and say "nice to meet you, what's your name? My name is Clayton. I know you're working at the moment but would you like a cup of coffee. I have to go to training now but we can meet at [Geelong Coffee House] after and we'll get to know each other more better."

Then don't show up.

There’s only one way this will calm down for Clarry

He has to work his butt off to get fitter and stronger, mind and body

He has to play better and longer in the midfield

Or, and hear me out, the journalists can just back off and give him time to get himself right off the field.

He’s a champion of this game and has literally proven time and again what a fantastic player he is, including by turning the game against Richmond just a week ago.

He has had his issues, and he is not perfect (who is?!), but whether he is back to being an A grader or not, has no bearing on whether he deserves the same respect and privacy the media has shown the likes of Allen and McKay when they recently took time out.

Need I remind you that Allen, club captain, has met a rival coach, while McKay who is on a million bucks a year, still can’t kick for goal and took time off while his club was winless. And yet nobody wrote 800 articles full of lies about them!

When are people going to take stock of their own behavior? When we lose another player to suicide?

The media isn't a force of nature. It is a group of people acting according to a set of norms. The way to fix this is for the AFL to publicly chastise media outlets and ban reporters from access to clubs if they behave unethically.

Compare and contrast Clarry's shabby treatment to that of Geelong's Tanner Bruhn.

After being listed as missing with a "finger injury" for several weeks, he's now listed simply as "unavailable".

Why are the media not asking questions about this?

Don’t even get me started on this BS.

Willie Rioli literally sends threatening messages to an opponent, Balta bashes a guy, Bruhn is up on the most vile offenses, but somehow Clarry is the one being hounded relentlessly for the past 18 months.

Imagine why he would like to play for a club that could make someone up on SA charges have a 12 months finger injury and not a single article written about them…

Agree, need to be held to account on the basis of their reporting

McClure has a formula which creates noise, and then uses the noise as the story (not any journalistic insights he's uncovered...)

"I've heard Clayton is not happy with game time"....... Therefore rehash all the trade week saga from last year and insinuate it could be related.....

This provides a week or two of reactions from mainly other media commentators (let's ask Jimmy Bartel my fellow panelist for his opinion on the situation that is mostly an artificial construct...) or if they're lucky... Brad Green chimes in to say F. O. and he's hit the jackpot

Exactly. The football media landscape's rinse cycle is as follows:

1. Journalist provokes or extracts a comment from a player/coach/associate
2. Media performer 1 comments on that reaction
3. Media performer 2 reacts to the comment
4. Media outlet broadcasts for maximum engagement: "Listen to what media performer 2 says about media performer 1's comment. Do you agree?"

Rinse and repeat for 52 weeks a year.
Once you see it you can't unsee it. I hate that I'm even tangentially getting caught up in the rinse cycle this time around.

1. McLure extracts "Clarry isn't happy with game time" from some unnamed associate of Clarry
2. McLure comments on that
3. Lyon reacts to McLure's comment
4. SEN broadcasts the Lyon/McLure comment/reaction. "What do you think footy fans? Isn't this fun?"

But that’s not how it works.

Clarry has to put is head down and work harder, The media is 24/7 now, i wish they would F off, but they won’t….

Bruhn is a nobody who didn’t sign a long contract worth $Millions

That’s why….

So that makes the charges he’s facing not a story? Seriously?!

And don’t give me this BS about the contract. McKay is on equally big money. Allen is the captain of his club.

Clarry can be on 10 million a year, and not get a touch, and it still doesn’t give any journalist the right to hound him relentlessly, when the club has made it abundantly clear that he’s dealing with some personal issues and they asked for his privacy to be respected.

Clarry is a human being before he is a football player that you feel owes you to be fitter or better.

If he was your son or your friend, I’m sure his paycheck would be of no concern to you if he told you he’s struggling.
