I do know what happened in 2022 Jaded, i saw videos before the media broke anything.

What has happened with Clarry is very sad and unfortunate, but he has to take some responsibility for it.

Yes and he is so don’t be so smug. It’s disgraceful what another D/Ler who called him a drop kick ( surprised thst was not censored) .

Clarry is trying very hard and doesn’t need the HSun article that Jay Clark posted 2 days ago. Most was premeditated trash from himself going over his recent trade issues. Not one piece of information he used he justified but only supposed most based on his trade time. Clarry had not said or indicated any thing about his future this season. Yes he may be disappointed about his form or game time but that is natural with any player/s.

Jay Clark did not even consider Clarry’s mental health in that article and I have now no respect for him on TV as well as his HSun articles.

Amazing lack of professionalism.

Meanwhile, I've uncovered what Jay Clark thought was Oliver's highlight reel.

I've been rethinking how much footy and footy media I bother with. When we had footy cancelled for months in 2020 it really reminded me how much I love having it there during winter. Even then with its return I didn't have to fanatically consume every minute of it or the 'analysis'. But thank God it exists. These days I'm trying to wind back more and more the amount I watch. There are other things I enjoy doing with my time and I'd be surprised if anyone reading this who don't also.

We can't do much about the favouritism or witch hunts. But gradually I'm not just watching/listening to AFL stuff just cos it's there. Especially football media is there for the ratings and money (with some ethics tempering all that). We're engaging to be entertained and informed. Our goals and theirs arent necessarily the same. Honestly if we're really not getting enough enjoyment or (accurate) info from the daily footy media circus why not find other diversions, especially nowadays with so many things we can watch/do?

Its really not going to matter if you miss some eps of Footy Classified, On the Couch or mornings with SEN

This is why I only listen to the Demonland podcast, not the Debrief nuffies who lack analysis and are all emotion. I have enough emotion with a four year old.

I seek to understand things and you won't get much of that from the AFL media or legacy media TBH.

Interesting Gerard Weatley on AFL 360 last night discussed Green's comments and said that the AFL Mrdia had been respectful while Oliver was away from the club and only reported on his return to the club. I was waiting for Gary Lyon to interject with the articles from Clark,reporting from Jon Ralph etc, speculating on game time, trades to Geelong etc while Oliver was away. Goody was pretty clear that the reports impacted Clarry's wellbeing.

Where am I being smug??

The only way these Gutter Journalists will stop reporting on Clarry is when he plays well. That’s what happens when you sign a long contract on big $$$’s.

These bastards thrive on misfortune, they sniff it out, i don’t agree with it, but it’s reality. My time in a newsroom finished just as the mobile phone became a part of everyday life, so players could get away with loads of crazy nights in clubs. There was a code back then.

But people like Craig Hutchison have torn that down, SEN exists on 90% controversy. Today it’s Willie Rioli’s turn

Clarry has to get fitter and play to his absolute maximum or else the vultures will continue to circle

That is fact, not an opinion

That's an incredible and horrible claim to notoriety for a player to have forever. It'd be rare that you could attribute a player's retirement to another player's actions.

There would be drivers who have to live with someone's death or maiming due to their vehicle being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Of course many would be completely innocent and free of blame. But the authorities would thoroughly review every detail of the accident and find anything the driver did wrong.

There is no way a Collingwood player would have jumped in the air so recklessly at a training session. If he did and a star such as Daicos then missed months with injury no one would have forgiven the act. Sorry, but it still rankles me how the whole Brayshaw incident was handled and how the instigator got off completely scot-free.

You can't properly analyse if you're clouded by emotion.

This is where the AFL failed in it's ability to argue to the case. There is no way in hell that if that's a Pies player below him (at training or in a match) that that thug compresses his body to make maximum impact to the vulnerable player. It was 5 minutes into a final, he wanted to make a physical impact, and he did. Now a player has retired because of his actions and the AFL tribunal gave it the tick of approval. It sickens me every time I think of it and I honestly struggle to watch ANY pies game now, but particularly whenever Maynard is on screen.

Each to their own, the DeeBrief lads crack me up at times (and then other times they go right off the rails).


I had tonight's Blues-Saints game entirely muted even when I gave it my full attention tonight and it really is a much better experience. You see things more clearly; you notice facial expressions more, the play feels more dynamic, you piece together for yourself what the free kick was for, and if you comment about something yourself you don't have to talk over the bore wetting his pants on the microphone.

Another thought I was reminded of from this game - did the media go on a sniping spree at the Saints for their flat 20k crowd against the Dockers, or is there a functional 25% adjustment when comparing to Melbourne crowds?

Nathan Buckley 👍🏻

Finally someone speaks objectively about Clarry and his performance

No grandstanding

SEN. Clayton Oliver the tagger?

Buckley said he actually liked what he saw from the Demon in Round 9. It sometimes helps to be the Hunter rather than the Hunted.

What did you make of Clayton Oliver the tagger? 🤔

Kate McCarthy and @XanderMcGuire7 unpack his performance against Hawthorn on The Round So Far, thanks to @AAMI: afl.com.au/video/1318760

Xander and KMC 💩💩💩💩💩💩terrible. Just terrible. Horrible. They have no idea and no right to question Oliver. Pathetic journalism if you can call it journalism!!!

  • 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?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
