Maybe cause Goodwin only gave him a game here and there to come on as a sub.
We were crying out for genuine speed yet he kept playing Spargo.
Glad Goodwin's gone.

Probably would have lost Chandler too if every other option we had didn't leave for more opportunity/was injured.

Club was on a fast road to nowhere with Goody and his 21 GF faves.

    I suspect the club was being polite in terms of why they want May gone.

    Maybe (pardon the pun 😂). It's crazy how quickly the worm turns. One moment Maysie is the super compeditive silver back gorrilla key back that the club has wanted and needed for the past 10 years and the next, he's too much for us to handle and past it.

    Honestly, I'd rather he stays and plays out his days in the red and blue. One of my favourite players of all time - he's an absolute beast and a MFC legend as far as I'm concerned.

    Every team needs a guy that gives his team mates a spray every now and then - Jake Lever will be lost without that!

    That game and that moment were one of the few high points of the season just gone.

    If only that was a sentiment more reciprocally expressed in modern day footy, although I do think Clayton is one of the more genuine and loyal players going around.

    If we are paying half his wage, I think it will be a pick in the teens

    Don't think so. His last 2 years have been rubbish. Pick 32 at best. 12 is a pipe dream.

    Yep, give me an undervalued developing fringe player like Bedford that's been starved of opportunities though that club having a glut of his type, but ready to explode into a best 22 player as opposed to one that will remain a perpetual finge player.

    Not really wanting to loose Clarry, but if it gets done, then I think Wade Derksen sounds like the kind of fair return I'd expect from GWS.

    U must be on a Snoop Dawg Reefer!?? U want to trade out a magnificent player that will go down as one of the BEST PLAYERS for MFC of all time to a player Wade Derkson who has the C.V of a 4th grade suburban player in the magoos??? Yeah right!

    For the time being...

    We need more near 'perfect'

    He ain't gonna give it.

    I notice u have Clarry listed down as one of your favourite players.... Pity u have turned to the Dark side and denigrated one of our best ever players with your dribbling rubbish of pick 32!

    Lol. Ease up Mr.Fence. I don't want to trade him out, but if we do, I'm just wanting a developing young player with potential, as opposed to a spud that never makes it.

    Many on this forum have been talking up Derksen for the past few seasons. Konestly don't know if he's the best that we could get out of GWS, but on face value if the reports are right that we're prepared to pay $700k of his salary, our own club itself doesn't seem to think Clarry has that much currency. I'd rather a semi developed key back where we have a bit of a potential gap, than taking a pot on a run if the mill mid where we probably have more options in-house.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
