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.

Anyone heard anything 

About?

Move yo Carlton 

Was a junk piece of reporting which he will not be held accountable for. 

If nothing is happening, why start this thread??????

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.

Surely not

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.

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

Yeah look i must admit watching the BnF tonight, you couldnt find a more flat and unhappy looking bunch of blokes..

Something doesn't feel right...

Carlton made enquiries to Melbourne about him.

He's not going anywhere though.

 

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.

Tell that little [censored] Sam the sewer rat McClure to crawl back in his hole. I’m really angry by this rubbish

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!

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?

He is very close mates with Trac and Salem, can’t see him leaving
