Good news everyone! Clarry looks kind of frumpy in the bright orange GWS training bib!

Definitely warrants poking this thread along. ;)

I do appreciate the glorious grammatical clanger in the fantasy write-up section related to him; "...last two years at Melbourne weren't been memorable ones".

The article did make me look at his recent fantasy form, and for all that it is meaningless, it does interest me that in 2025 he had only two individual games which came within 20% of his average fantasy/supercoach output for 2020-23. He's dropped from top-3 fantasy midfielder to the fringe of the top 50.

As much as I love Clarry (and try not to post on this thread—hopefully it dies a natural death soon)—orange is definitely not the colour for a ginger. Do appreciate the fact that his sunscreen is rubbed in well, though.

Looking forward to the I told you so from both games after every game depending on how he plays.

Let’s lock this and revisit (if absolutely needed) after the Giants season is done and dusted for 2026

What happened to the edit post function, has it been moved?

Don't take this the wrong way as you do have some good input on this site but I'm undecided on whether you're actually a good poster. You seem to be more in the know than the regular person but sometimes it seems like your ability to write well and throw alleged facts in that no-one will bother to check leads people to believe you know more than you actually do about a subject.

A few things with this comment

1 What makes a good poster?

2 Will we EVER know the facts of Kings meeting with Clarry and contract negotiations, perambulations?

I think you only have a limited time after making the post to edit it.

It still hurts to see him in those colours. It will always hurt to see him in any colours other than red and blue 😕

Clary was always a risk as his attitude before the draft was not the best but he was working on it. I think it all went to his head and then whatever issues he was having popped that bubble and he will never be the same player we all came to admire so much. There may be glimpses but no where near the extent of what we enjoyed.

I have a different view ... if he does well at GWS, it will reinforce the notion that he needed a fresh start

Brownlow votes can divide opinions but there's no doubt that the umpires absolutely notice the standout players (as do the fans & media)

Here's Clarrie's last 6 years

• 2020 - 14*

• 2021 - 31

• 2022 - 25

• 2023 - 6

• 2024 - 5

• 2025 - 0

*2020 was a shortened season

Maybe Oliver & Trac topics should be permanently closed, the oxygen they have received, understandably they will be forever premiershiP heroes and the action of both themselves & the club turned pair shape ..

If its just tightness and not a tear then maybe. But if he pings it by only taking a few weeks off and coming back early, it could be a 6 weeker.

But then again not all calves are equal....

I have not been able to sleep since Oliver's departure . We are doomed !!! Not worried if Gates wants to blacken out the Sun (thank god for green energy derived from solar panels).

I tried listening to songs like I will Survive,Yesterday, I am a Believer but still I am depressed. Is there an AFL life line I could ring? My dad said, suck it up princess.

Yes, take a look at Lachie Neale's.

Yes, but this kind of free speech I approve of. Just the same if people still want to engage with the funny videos or music suggestions threads it's not for you or me to decide they can't.

Two weeks of training? If we were in the season it would probably be 4 weeks but back training sooner.

He missed half a season with a hammy...............

Why would you want to close the threads? Just stop opening them if you don't want to engage with them, that's what I do when I saw the other garbage threads that pop up on here.

Yeah, Boweserpower, you absolutely did attack them personally.

The share of population happy to just roll their eyes an keep walking at another round of 'no offence meant but your face looks like a witch cursed you' is shrinking every year.

You'll also want to cut out the facetious and condescending 'appreciate the chat though' right got after delivering yet another 'I hear that people think you suck' comment.

Demonland worked hard to lift the standards and doesn't need people going around dropping pebbles in shoes.

Hey Little Goffy.

I appreciate you stepping in to be the judge and jury on something that has nothing to do with you but you have are way off and frankly out of line. What makes you the person who decides what is a personal attack?

The fact of the matter is that this person has a record of misleading with hearsay presented as facts.

Please don't throw the Demonland standards thing at me either as I'm not doing anything against the rules.

Again, I've never claimed to be ITK or an expert. If you look at the way I opened the post you originally responded to I asked a question about reporting. The rest of my post was essentially repeating information I have read and that I believe to be based in fact. I'm not sure anyone owns facts? If I'm wrong I'm more than happy for others to correct me or even just ask me to back up my info.

We either agree on whether sources of information are credible or we don't, do you believe any of the sources I provided were misinformed?

Bit rich to say my posting is high and mighty when you are passing judgement on the standard of my posts and speaking on the behalf of other posters.

Read the first line where you literally called me a [censored] poster.

If Little Goffy gets offended on your behalf about me saying 'no offence' then it's probably not a good time for selective reading.

Is it sort of like an artform?

Like one person's trash is another person's treasure?

I clash with KozzieCan often but his info is usually on the money.

It's that insular nature of opening DL and seeing this thread still so active, then being frustrated that fans of the same team are still talking about that subject and thinking you know better.

I'm guilty of this sometimes and admittedly, it's stupid.
