    No you don’t.

    And by the way, taking time off to deal with your mental health IS taking responsibility.

    I do know what happened in 2022 Jaded, i saw videos before the media broke anything.

    What has happened with Clarry is very sad and unfortunate, but he has to take some responsibility for it.

    So that makes the charges he’s facing not a story? Seriously?!

    And don’t give me this BS about the contract. McKay is on equally big money. Allen is the captain of his club.

    Clarry can be on 10 million a year, and not get a touch, and it still doesn’t give any journalist the right to hound him relentlessly, when the club has made it abundantly clear that he’s dealing with some personal issues and they asked for his privacy to be respected.

    Clarry is a human being before he is a football player that you feel owes you to be fitter or better.

    If he was your son or your friend, I’m sure his paycheck would be of no concern to you if he told you he’s struggling.

    I know the Clarry story…

    It’s up to him to show some responsibility

    Compare and contrast Clarry's shabby treatment to that of Geelong's Tanner Bruhn.

    After being listed as missing with a "finger injury" for several weeks, he's now listed simply as "unavailable".

    Why are the media not asking questions about this?

    Bruhn is a nobody who didn’t sign a long contract worth $Millions

    That’s why….

    Or, and hear me out, the journalists can just back off and give him time to get himself right off the field.

    He’s a champion of this game and has literally proven time and again what a fantastic player he is, including by turning the game against Richmond just a week ago.

    He has had his issues, and he is not perfect (who is?!), but whether he is back to being an A grader or not, has no bearing on whether he deserves the same respect and privacy the media has shown the likes of Allen and McKay when they recently took time out.

    Need I remind you that Allen, club captain, has met a rival coach, while McKay who is on a million bucks a year, still can’t kick for goal and took time off while his club was winless. And yet nobody wrote 800 articles full of lies about them!

    When are people going to take stock of their own behavior? When we lose another player to suicide?

    But that’s not how it works.

    Clarry has to put is head down and work harder, The media is 24/7 now, i wish they would F off, but they won’t….

    There’s only one way this will calm down for Clarry

    He has to work his butt off to get fitter and stronger, mind and body

    He has to play better and longer in the midfield

    Clarrie played at his peak capacity in that 3rd quarter but obviously can’t sustain that level of intensity for 4 quarters atmo. This must have something to do with his lack of fitness and why he’s spending more time on the bench. The coaches would absolutely know where he’s at and what he is capable of right now. Whether he reaches his former stellar performance levels remains to be seen. Perhaps we have seen the very best of Clarrie but his next best is still better than most mids in the comp. His current handball to kick ratio in his last 2 games indicates he is trying to execute the revised game plan.

    If Clarry wants more midfield time, he has to get fitter. It’s not rocket science.

    He is nowhere near the fitness he was in ‘21-‘22 before the big contract.

    He has to accept that challenge, to work harder

    Looking fwd to this weeks game, after 3 wins in a row we get a test against a contender, if we can at least be competitive then I think it shows we should continue to persist with the current group a while longer, if we go back to the round 2-5 output then it’s time to move on from some of the older players and bring in the kids and find out what we have because this group is done

    Yep. This is a real pendulum game, to see exactly where we are at…

    If that were the case, i wouldnt expect the public display from Trac on Sat night. I do believe he pulled himself away to have a mental break.

    Quite possibly, but there has been some player problems from the start of all this. So it’s probably a bit of everything

    Those that seriously underestimate Oliver's contribution are led by pundits trying to force his worth down! Oliver is currently #1 for av. disposals on MFC's list (equal with Brayshaw, Liberatore, Serong and J. Daicos). Oliver is #2 for tackles and continues to be #1 for handballs. Some on here talk about him as if he were an under-performing rookie!

    But sadly the QUALITY of those possessions has taken a serious hit

    It’s a long time since Clarry dominated a big game…

    It sounds like a manager leak imo.

    Not sure about that, you could be right of course, but the fact that Clarry didn’t play on the weekend, i wouldn’t be at all surprised if other players have had their say…

    maclure - the story

    morris - the story

    niall - the story

    ...journalists - the story

    majority of em don't give two hoots about who they barrack for, or used to barrack for...they want the STORY

    Yes i know all that, i worked with journalists cutting stories for over 10 years. These guys scrounge out stories as often as they can.

    But they are not Jeeelong people

    Do you think its possible that these mouthpieces get paid by Geelong to peddle this stuff constantly? They did it for Smith last year and i dont often see them going this hard when it involves other clubs. I think its part of a broader media influenced landscape that we don't have the capability / willingness / know-how in transacting with. i have no doubt [censored] like this goes on - whether there is an exchange of cash or information who knows, but it definitely isnt a level playing field.

    It’s possible that Morris and McClure are being looked after by Jeeelong, nothing would suprise me.

    We all knew Bailey Smith was going to the Litter Box months before it was made official

    I think we might have a set back tonight.

    If the game were at the G we’d be winning our third consecutive game where we have a 6-6 record since round 11 last year. Plus we’re a better team than them.

    However away from the G we have a 1-8 record since that debacle in round 10 last year at Optus V WC. The stats are too obvious to ignore and it’s plain to see that we can’t or won’t play the style of footy and requisite pressure needed to win a game away from the G.

    Hope to be proven wrong of course.

    If this plays out then Goodwin should walk tonight…

    If we have any semblance of pride, the MFC wins by 36+

    As an aside I'm still on the Zebmail mailing list because I hold Sandy in extremely high regard after our time there and I was very happy to see that they knocked back that request from STK.

    One of the best footy clubs in the country for mine.

    I lived in sandringham in the 60’s 70’s used to go to the Beach Oval regularly.

    Great Club

    Celebrated Flags in the 80’s and 90’s

    If they went back to Stand alone I could be a Zebs Supporter again.
