Explain this "Contempt" situation!??

After the big Contract was signed, within weeks Clarry went off the Rails.

We got one decent game out of of him since then. Against Sydney last year

Just now, [email protected] said:

Glad he is happy up there were he can walk around not bothered

Bit concerned when he stops playing. Will not be designing rocket ships and no coaching or media. Hope his manager is managing his money well and he is doing some study or something . Hope he finds a partner too Thanks Clarrie all the best except when you play us

You are missing my point.

If he is not astute enough to know that he should be publicly thanking us, I am not criticising him for that.

If he genuinely can’t figure that out then he’ll need a carer as soon as his career is finished

You’ll notice that Redleg is putting forward the idea that Clayton isn’t astute enough to figure out something blindingly obvious so maybe take it up with him.

I very much doubt Clayton is that dumb.

You however, remove less doubt every time I see a post from you.

Hmnn underestimate me and my intellect?? Ok go ahead! A lot here think I'm unhinged, better check ur own skeletons under the bed!!

Pretty sure Clarrie has kicked at least one goal against Geelong tonight.

Everyone else has!

Astounding that we make judgements on a players mental ability, thoughts, statements and intent! Even more so on posters comments on this site!

I mean it makes it hard to take you seriously because you post stuff like this. You write like you’re a cartoon villain

Would that be Boris Badenov or maybe Mr Burns or even Yosemite Sam ?

The Mr. burns voice works well in my head

I’m seriously asking this, has Clayton ever mentioned that he’s grateful to the club for anything post his exit? Grateful that the club supported him? Grateful he was able to win a premiership? Grateful for the friendships he made with teammates? Anything at all? I could very well have missed it, but I haven’t heard anything like that.

From the moment he met with King, until now, the behaviour he’s exhibited suggests he basically sees himself as being thoroughly wronged and the club, out of nowhere, and with no preceding reason to do so, kicked him to the curb and blindsided him.

And not, that he went completely off the rails by his own decisions.

We all mess up in life, I absolutely have more than a few times, but a part of growing and learning from those mistakes is taking accountability that the poor decisions we made (despite the emotional duress we experience through things like neurodivergence/mental health episodes) are still the decisions we made. Nobody forced him to do any of the things he did and the same goes for me in my life.

Anybody else see the severe disconnect here?

If you’re seriously asking…. And I surprised nobody has said this, but yes, he speaks very kindly about the Dees. He clearly has real affection for the time he spent with us.

We sold him off. He says he understands, takes responsibility, now he’s doing better in Sydney. Players have that experience all the time when the Melbourne afl fishbowl becomes difficult.

If Red isn’t wrong then Clayton is beyond criticism because he’s basically too stupid. Redleg is saying ‘if Clayton is not astute enough to know he should thank the club’ then he won’t criticise him. Which is fine.

I do not believe he is that dumb but others can if they want.

Be careful though @picket fence will be really angry with you.

Miss read that, my apologies.

I’ve read an interview he did late-ish last year where he said he wasn’t the most well behaved, took responsibility for that and wished Melbourne all the best, but that’s literally all I’ve heard. If he’s said other positive things about us then I’m happy to read/hear them.

I don’t consider that to be saying something like (for example) ‘I’m grateful for the support Melbourne gave me’, considering from all reports, it wasn’t just a small bit of misbehaving, but I can’t go into it for obvious reasons.

Which makes me question why that is the case as I find it weird. Both in terms of his experience at the club and what the club did for him. I don’t think anyone’s hands are clean in this by the way. Not Clayton’s and not the clubs.

Take note of your post there’s one obvious deekhead (your own words) throughout this entire thread.

You really need to either stop watching footy or seek professional help. I’m not sure whether you’re clueless or delusional

Oh yes…Pert and Roffey stitched us up good and proper.

But for Clarry to still hold the Club in contempt, whilst being paid Top Shelf cash for the next 4 years, i find hard to swallow.

Many forget, he played injured for a lot of 24 and 25!

Give it a rest

Are we expecting Claz to be BOG tonight?

A lot of of that “injury” was self induced

Clayton has a bit of the Dave Mustaine about him being fired from Metallica and then claiming he was trying to quit a few times before they beat him to the punch.

Honestly I expected this and it's not a terrible thing. He's realised it was the change he needed. Whether he needed it initially is another thing, I thought we were a pretty good team in 2023 challenging for a flag and all. If he ends up playing good footy then power to him.

Yep or close to it!

Can't see how a 10 week hamstring is self inflicted when clearly he wanted to get back earlier ( remember the blowup with the medicos) or the badly broken hand that impcted half the season
