I sense I shouldn’t get involved but he wasn’t loyal to the end. He was loyal to the extent he didn’t want to leave but he certainly wasn’t loyal to his team, his teammates or his contract.

It’s sad that an absolute hero has left us under these circumstances but King did exactly the right thing to restore locker room harmony and a team first philosophy. And I’m the first to admit I wouldn’t have done it, but it was 100% right.

Fair enough, loved the comment that you wouldn't have done it!

Still not happy!☹️

Loyalty is everything ! He wanted to stay. Stuff you King!!

Im sad he is gone too PF, but at the end of the day, i think this separation is best for both camps. He was just not going to get the best out of himself staying at Melbourne. IMO I dont think he's going to do much better at GWS, but if he does, then i'll be happy for him.

Was just a shame the way the wheels came off in the end. Wont be the last player it happens to , but [censored] why did it have to be Clarry.

There were plenty of other players who helped us win the flag mate. It was a team effort.

And I disagree he's our best player in a lifetime but that's for another day.

Agree - If the best player in the clubs long and proud history is one that couldn't kick to AFL standards then we truly are a joke.

Oliver can get it when fit and handball (I do question how many of those were blatant throws) but the game now relies of kicking ability - his Achilles heel imho
