lol the way the media are heading, most clubs will need to hire a dedicated crisis manager ... or just do a deal with the bikies
- Time to go Gary Pert

from what i've heard, i don't think that is quite a true picture

tommy boy setting things up for his next big expose. he'll be gunning for pert ... i won't mind, but

the role (or non-role) of clarry's management team seems to be escaping any scrutiny given clarry's "special needs". have they at all times been interested in clarry's mental health issues or just treated him as profitable commodity?

huh? pert: best culture he'd ever seen 😁

Oliver Trade Rumours
yeah, i think his manager really pulled the wool over our eyes on a 7 year + $9M smackeroos contract, right in the middle of his meltdown. really looking a crazy deal. it's not that his behavioural problems were something new or fleeting

if he really, really wants to go and we play hard ball, it will be interesting to see if he will take a new reduced salary contract at the cattery. if he does, no salary relief from us and cats prepared to give us a better trade/pick deal.

here's a snip, which seems at odds with the headline

you don't really believe that ... do you?

it now seems like clarry has gone from villain to victim, all within the week afl media is just another cheap reality show ... no angle rejected if clickable

Open Letter to the MFC
pert has to be a dead man walking regardless of whether all the complaints about him are real or not, he is the one steering the ship and where the buck stops. can't remember when we have previously mishandled so many issues and become the laughing stock of the media and general football public. he needs to fall on his sword before he gets pushed what a disaster

i'm not expecting a really good trade with jeelong but i am expecting a reasonably good trade if we let him go for peanuts or a bad deal then that will really do me in if jeelong really want to get him they have to make a decent offer and we have to play hardball. we must salvage something out of this ... or it should be no deal

i'd double down on cats paying his whole salary. this is not a salary dump situation. if that means he stays and plays at casey until he fully reforms and grows up, then so be it hope club shows some gonads and bargains hard

not only did he cause this but he looks like coming out of this a real winner. gets to keep his bag of gold with a 6 year contract, playing for a team in the finals window. no downside. meanwhile he leaves behind a trainwreck of people and the club. how many people who tried (vainly) to help, will lose their jobs over this and what a let down for his team-mates, spnsors and club supporters. just grates me that he comes through this totally unscathed and unpenalised

Oliver Trade Rumours
that was very much my thoughts too. when we signed him up for 7 years he was already a known problem child there must be standard clauses in all contracts where a contract can be rescinded in clarries case given his history, the length of contract and the high value of contract i would expect any risk manager would insist on specific clauses for behaviour and performance, including termination options. any contract lawyers here like to speculate?
-
Oliver Trade Rumours
i don't think he is on 1.5M/yr x 7 maybe backloaded at end of contract for $1.5m when cap will be larger and inflation has done its usual growth

Oliver Trade Rumours
look, we could chat away for ever about who could've, who didn't, who should've but no bad clarry no problem we are all p155ed about this. clarry was a one in a generation player and it is sad, but lets not line up all those who at least tried to help up against the wall and shoot them ... we weren't there and don't know a fraction of the details (and probably never will)

Oliver Trade Rumours
you ever heard of the last straw, dr g?
-
Oliver Trade Rumours
maybe, that's a difficult one to read from where we sit it does seem though that an awful lot of club resources were expended on clarry. if he wasn't such a star player he probably would have been jettisoned long ago. remember all that stuff we can't talk about before roffy. it seems to stretch back a long way and it seems many in the media knew a lot they can't talk about except in vague ways about culture etc

To the AFL ‘Browbeating’ Media — It’s time to fight back!
dunno why you single out the western media, monbon. it's all media ... east, west, south and north truth has become an archaic concept

um ... i think he pushed himself out, norm. stop making excuses for him

Oliver Trade Rumours
"cruel to clarry"? puleez, give me a break this is all on clarry. the talk of clarry's off field behaviour has been the talk of the town for years and now it seems it really wasn't just so much talk hard to feel sorry for clarry for all the damage done to the club despite all the help he has been given
