Remember in his youth where clarry went off at the muppet blues fan in the crowd with the 784 chins and rough lid? I still laugh when I think of that

    Can you name one time that Clarry has been rude or disrespectful to any member of the media despite being relentlessly harassed by them?

    If he pulled the sort of BS that Smith or Ginnivan has, we’d never hear the end of it.

    Cannot stand the behaviour from Smith, he’s an entitled little germ who has had the cloak of professional football hide his sins. Pretty privilege is real

    I've known Clarry since his days at the Murray Bushrangers where I did some part time work when he was coming through the system.

    I dont bump into him as much in the off season as I use too socially, but boy the stories and stuff you see first hand 🤣

    Lets not pretend he's a saint.

    Smith has some nerve to have a go at a photographer doing her job, when that [censored] earns so much money from posting thirst trap photos of himself half naked all over the internet.

    His Cotton On sponsorship is worth more than his Geelong contract ffs.

    Geez I wish we had the wonderful CULTURE like the Cats. The media rubs themselves to excitement mode with Jezza and Danger (cold spoon needed for Hudson and Whateley).

    But there is silence around Bruh#n, Stengle and Smith for their behaviours.

    It’s like the media and the AFL themselves have a lot of ex cats players or support the Cats. Oh yes, forgot … they do !!!

    Agree just not sure why people are complaining about the lack of noise right now. He's getting a bunch of heat.

    Smith is copping a heap of grief.

    Given suspensions for other types of anti-social behaviour and offensive comments he should be suspended.

    A repeat offender both on 'the bird' and verbal abuse of this particular photographer.

    But he plays for Geelong and is in Brownlow contention. It will be another double standard of the AFL rules applying to some and not others.

    For once I hope the media defies its complicity with the AFL and turns up the heat for a suspension.

    Yeah, nah.

    He's a [censored] bloke and made an absolute pillock of himself but unless he said something genuinely misogynistic to her then I wouldn't be suspending him. Maybe a fine.

    I wasn't referring to misogynism (altho I do wonder if he would behave similarly toward a male photographer let alone one 20+ years his senior).

    He has twice verbally abused that photographer of 25 years who was doing her job at the invitation of his employer. It is a workplace. The photographer's gender isn't relevant to acceptable workplace behaviour. Willy Rioli was suspended for sending a 'threatening' style text to an opp player.

    Smith is a repeat offender and imv should be sanctioned. There is no room for workplace bullying toward anyone.

    Why isn't Essendon getting the same culture bashing as Melbourne last year? Last year the narrative was how terrible Melbourne is and how all the players want out. No one ended up leaving. Essendon has 3 of their most important players all wanting to leave (2 100% gone) and it's all about Merrett being selfish and not a true leader.

    Glad the spotlight is firmly off the Dees for a change. They did try a few digs with Spargs and BIlling retirements not being handled the best, but it didnt obviously take.

    Has the AFL said anything publically regarding the B.Smith disrespectful behaviour?

    They are copping heaps and handling themselves very poorly.

    This is a bigger mess than us in 2024 by a long shot. At least Max wasn't meeting with Sam Mitchell last year!

    Why is Carlton not copping more from the media is what surprises me.

    Essendon copping a lot of heat. Merret handling himself very poorly but weird to see his teammates make public statements about how disappointed in him they are.

    Easily worse situation than Trac last year.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
