I heard Clarry is heading to the US, maybe Utah this offseason to do a training camp to get his fitness back. Not sure if that’s true or not if anyone can confirm
That was reported at some point post season.
He also said today he would be commencing training on November 11 with the younger guys. So not sure if he can go on the US camp between now and then. But seems it wasn’t mentioned today.
 
He wasn't going to the US for training, it was suppose to be in QLD with Maxy Gawn.. but I suppose attending the races takes far more priority then wanting to give yourself every ounce of opportunity in getting fit after the year hea had..
Getting heavily on the gear while at the races gives your heart a good work out. Same/same.

Max is just in Queensland for a holiday, yeah?
 
Gawn's family holiday with Oliver. Attention Max gawn your son has been arrested. Attention Max gawn your older ginger fatter son has also been arrested.
 
I find it so embarrassing that Oliver gets treated like a teenager still. Bloke turns 28 next year ffs
Wasn't Gary Ablett snr similar? I remember some stories about that bloke being just as bad if not worse. Pretty sure there was an interview from a club official saying the club used to pay his bills because he had no idea how to do it and couldn't be bothered figuring it out so the club just did it for him. Some blokes are just built differently.

Uh, this probably isn't a great comparison.

Completely different era's to two completely different players.

There is simply no comparison.
 
The stuff that Clarry did over the last 18 months was completely unacceptable, period. You can't compare to Garry Ablett snrs.

Don't just say "Oh but Gary Ablett sr, did worse" No. Ablett Snr isn't responsible for Clarry.

I don't think that's the point Crusty Demon was trying to make. He's not justifying Clarry's behaviour because Ablett's behaviour.

Yeah definitely not comparing the two and what they've done on or off field. From what I hear GA was a lot worse than Clarry in a number of ways. Just highlighting that some players regardless of age need extra support, even to do simple things. Not saying it's right, but generally the better players will get that extra support from the club. The biggest issue is when they leave football and that support isn't there. GA and Cousins good examples of what can happen. I hope Clarry doesn't head into that territory. Some people are just wired differently and just because someone is turning 28 doesn't mean a person is all of a sudden going to smarten up. Ox as well had serious issues while at the club with gambling. Lost it all after football(i believe) but thankfully had an unbelievable wife who supported him through it. Whatever Clarry's issues are, they aren't going to simply disappear because he's 27.

Doesn't matter what era a player is from. Ablett, Cousins, Schwartz, Clarry etc. In fact mental health issues are vastly on the rise across the board. All these blokes still carried their issues well into post career. Like I've said, club's can support and monitor these guys closely while they are playing, but once they move away from that club environment it can fall apart quickly. I'm guessing this is a concern of the club. Not saying it's right or wrong, but these guys with issues can't just flick a switch and be different because they are getting a bit older.
