Just mentioned on footy classified that Clayton Oliver is apparently not happy at Melbourne and Carlton supporter Sam McClure was trying to instigate a move to Carlton.

    Just saw this. What's this all about then?

    I heard a 3 second snippet of Mcclure talking about Merrett, "Zac Merrett, like Clayton Oliver" (implying he's not sure of the direction of the club, or something to that effect). That's literally all I saw - does anyone have the full snippet, or quote?

    Not sure. Came from nowhere.

    Worth also noting that they did confirm with the club that Clayton was not going anywhere.

    Clips here where Oliver gets a mention - I don't know if Oliver was mentioned before or after this snippet as I wasn't watching the show, or whether his name was simply dropped.

    Someone on another site said McClure said Oliver not happy (or words to that effect)

    just sh/t stirring or a case of smoke indicating fire?

    I saw a very interesting interview with Oliver either early this year or last year.  He talked a lot about how he doesn't like changing things and how settled he is at the club.  He has his routine, he comes in on his days off and works out in his gym on his machines etc.  The overriding impression I got was of someone who doesn't like changing things and had pretty much grown roots where he was.  I really don't see him wanting to leave.

    Locked away contract wise (much like Zac Merrett...for now), so we have the leverage, but we'd want to make sure Clayton's happy before that gets close to expiry.

    If he is supposedly not happy where the direction of the club then of course he'll entertain the idea of leaving.

    As I said the other day, we should be putting a 4 year contract extension to Clarry this off season and putting a similar deal in front of Trac too.

    Multiple threads, but will put it here too: Carlton made an approach to Melbourne about Oliver, it was obviously not even considered. The 'unhappy' part I think might be made up.

    It is understandable and I agree with him if it is the case. I don’t believe in the game plan and on field structure/set up either... If I was a player I would be looking elsewhere as well! Don’t blame him. Need a change at coach and footy department ASAP!

    But Sam McClure made it very clear he is contracted and will be playing for Melbourne 2021. 

    I'm more concerned about years 2022 through 2030!!

    I thought the same, Daz - but could be for a number of reasons:

    1. BNF assembled quickly and held during the day, after exit interviews - no atmosphere.

    2. Boys genuinely p!ssed off after season fizzled out.

    3. Something is up.

    Perty was doing his salesman act, but it looked like a place where [censored] had gone down moments before - maybe big clear out of coaching staff, as others have alluded to?

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
