Not sure on the headline DL, what he actually says is:

"It’s a longshot, but Gold Coast should make Clayton Oliver an offer he cannot refuse. He’s exactly what the Suns lack, a consistent, genuine A-grader who they can build the club around for the next decade. He’s a $1-million-a-year player in the making, at age 21."

He does also mention the possibility of Gus to Freo, which could potentially combine with some supporter murmurs from both clubs and build, OR of course it could just dissipate.

That article is like reading Demonland the last 6 months. Everything in that article has been expressed here except the Oliver part. 


Forget the ice baths... they would have to get a Le Tan sponsorship and dip him into a 44 gallon drum of sunscreen any time he was in QLD or he would be burnt to a crisp. 

P.S. I’m a ranga too so you know it’s true.

At least put a question mark at the end to mask the engagement... ;)

 

Chasing the coin doesn’t seem like it would be part of Oliver’s makeup, but who knows. It’s not like he won’t get a nice payday here anyway,

As far as the topic heading goes, it probably goes without saying, there’s no way the club would entertain a trade unless its hand was forced.

 

To trade either Oliver or Brayshaw would be the height of stupidity. 

Goddard can go and eat ........

Why stop at Clarry, why not have a garage sale and sell the whole place?

Yes lets give up our good players to start yet another rebuild?

 

OMG.  Why not just close the club down, or  sell off Ollie, Brayshaw, Gawn and anyone else who could help us get somewhere?

I am 100% certain that GC$ would love to have Clarrie.

Stick to throwing pretzels around Goddard you big [censored] sook


Same article suggests we should target Bryce Gibbs. 

What are the odds of that happening?

Edited by Moonshadow

Imagine how much money they’d need to pay Clarrie to go play for that disaster of a club in front of 7000 fans every week....be an Ablett size deal at least 

I actually agree with most of his article. We will likely need to get used to godfather offers coming for Clarry. If this year is the outlier then I think we'll have nothing to worry about, but if we have another bad year then he'd be stupid to not to consider his future elsewhere. The sun's will always be able to over more money than us. He could get $1.5m or more up there. Not to mention the potential banana boat endorsement. But wins will always help us keep him.

His comment on Gibbs is spot on. Although I don't want him, he is at least the type we need, rightly Goddard suggests Gibbs as a discount Brad Hill. But Hill is a better fit for us on and off the field and for more years. Damn the expense

Another column inches filler article.Poorly written and researched. 

 

Next.

Plenty of common sense hung on a farcical central hook. (Well, central headline, anyway.)

Absolutely!!  Totally unacceptable behaviour, Andy!!  Hang your head in shame, young lad!!

To be fair, Goddard wrote the first part of the article, down to the Ed Langdon photo. Everything else is from Jay Clark. 

I don't see anything wrong with Goddard's contribution, and most of Clark's contribution has been discussed previously.

Clarry is Red and Blue forever. I think that I will give up watching AFL if he leaves Melbourne.

 

If that calibre of player leaves my team to play for an AFL franchise, it is almost time to close the door and walk away...

essendrug was a great career move for Goddard.

Being "red and blue forever" generally means you sign a 1 million a year contract at an expansion team. We should do everything in our power to make Oliver as disgruntled as possible at MFC so that he plays well and accepts less money to stay at Melbourne out of spite. nothing says "[censored] you" like signing 3 consecutive 1-year contracts for less money. We should also drop him a few times, and then see if anyone will accept a package of him + ANB for a second round pick.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
