Of course there isnt.

Average year from a midfielder earning ridiculous amount of money on a huge contract.

On top of no brownlow votes for the year, 10 votes in the coaches award this year which is incredibly poor and 7th in the best and fairest all of this whilst just missing the one game.

There isnt a club out there that would be willing at all to take on his contract but his sub par form.

    I thought clarry did spike in form slightly towards the end of the year! Have to hope that a new coach and system, a full pre season maybe a much better 2026!

    It's sad we have to pay over a million a year for that

    Which also impacts our ability to target and offer gun recruits a decent salary.

    There's no evidence our salary cap is tight.

    In fact it's the opposite, we were in for Windhager on good money, we're in for Flanders, we're in for Mihocek.

    Can't go shopping without a solid bank balance.

    Thing with both Flanders and Windhager is cleary the money is significantly more then what we have offered. If Flanders accept the saints offer then simply its a money thing over the connection with King.

    St Kilder upped their offer the moment they found out we had strong interest in Windhager and that was pretty much it.

    Im not saying our salary cap is tight, but i doubt there's wriggle room to go after a Ben King or Zak Butters next year. For that to happen either Petracca oe Oliver would need ro be off the books which is why the Club is clearly okay with Petracca looking around.

    Seems these days that established players looking to switch clubs won't get out of bed for less than that.

    Let’s hope we can trade in decent talent to improve the list vs the vfl players we gotten since 21!

    Clarrys end to the season was a bit underrated I think..I think with a big pre season he can bounce back..

    His late season form was still miles below his best.

    We heard all this at the end of last year.

    It was all "oh but a full pre season and he'll be back to his best again "....

    I cant ever see him being back to his best again. Maybe a good footy solider, but nothing like previously.

    I saw some signs of those quick hands again so I guess we’ll see!

    This morning on SEN, Cornes said that he had heard a rumour, that Trac was going to announce he was up for trade, in the next few days. He was clear that it was just something he had heard.

    Hot flash: King or Butters aren't coming to MFC. We need to trade for solid talent like Flanders and draft for stars, lucky we've got JT who can do that.

    Why? Explain further..

    Steven King already has a strong relationshipwith Ben King from GC and has openly stated that he will use all of his connections and networks in bringing on good players.

    There was a rumour Cornes had half a brain... but i think they were overstating the case ....

    None where a club is prepared to trade. They might take him if free as an FA.

    At least with Trac there is genuine interest with clubs considering trades.

    I will be over the moon if Oliver does reward the support the club has given him and lives up to the mega contract he signed in mid 2022.

    I would like both of them to stay at least one more year and see what King can do. Then both might have better trade value.

    I heaard last night from sources close to the industry that SEN's business model isn't working and that they will soon have to cut staff. Announcement expected a few days after the Grand Final.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
