This.....If the stories were true Goodwin's response would have been "I'm not going to be drawn in to discussing articles written about Clayton, I've got a strong relationship.......blah blah blah, he didn't he categorically stated the articles weren't true. I mean it's from some pretty low life click baiters.

I've oscillated on Oliver over the journey. Hindsight says we probably trade him at the end of 23 when we'd have likely got 2 high picks and most of his salary covered. Now I'm in the keep him and keep building him camp. He's been through some pretty serious tumult over the last 3 years. He's clearly got the backing of his coach, captain and his team mates. He's still racking up good numbers whilst not being as damaging as he once was, although that 3rd quarter against Richmond was pretty damn good. He's only 27 so potentially has 6-7 more good years in him. He'll get fitter again this pre season and there's no reason his formline won't continue to improve over the next few years. I'm actually starting to think the club has done a phenomenal job supporting him and getting him back on the field. For all the [censored] the media has slung his and our way here's a kid fronting up to work day in day out working his backside off to help his team. It's a fair effort. You don't have to look very far to see just how badly it can turn out for stars of the game.

Agree

And then can't handle the blow back when Greeny gives em' a serve. Poor things

It’s Jay Clark’s article in the HS last Tuesday that I have a problem with. He in the whole page or more made up scenarios that were not true and simply tried to show that he was going to leave at the end of the season to Geelong.

He showed no Empathy for Clarry at all and I have no respect for his journalism as chief footy writer for the HSun.

Robbo or Mike Sheehan would never have emptied on Clarry like he did.

Let’s give him the support and I believe another Demon forum have suggested at 13 minutes in the first quarter we stop and clap for Clarry as a show of support.

That is a most uplifting public show of worthy support of this whole saga for Clarry.

The pile on is (was?) quite incredible from so many journos 58. Although surprisingly Morris did back it off a little last week. That's a first.

However, most still manage to bring it up somewhere in their general narrative. Even if it's an update to say "nothing to see here".

If the filth were doing this 'managed' scenario with DeGoey the media would be falling over themselves to applaud fly and the club and what a great job they're doing managing their playing group. Cutting edge etc!
