It’s more than a big footy rumour 

No it's not. Someone who says their a Melbourne supporter on Big Footy started a rumour that we were going after McKay and sure enough a day later a Carlton fan started a rumour they were after Oliver. McCulre then mentioned what he did on footy classified and this one took off. This sort of stuff happens all the time on there, sometimes they'll suck in a journo, who's trying to stay relevant and it gets oxygen for a while, but there is nothing in this at all.

I can tell you honestly mate that this is more than a big footy rumour and was instigated by Oliver and his camp not the other way around.

Me too!  Clarry has so much potential, we can’t trade him!

Clarry won't get traded this year. He's contacted and I expect a Daniher/Papley like scenario even if he requested a trade.

The big issue will be when he is out of contract next year and potentially miss finals.

2021 could not be a more crucial year then ever. Goodwin needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

?I agree with you but I think if he get the right deal then he might go this year but if not then he plays next year and thinks get re-assessed.

I think if the right trade came along I'd be open to it.

If Carlton really want him they can trade us Charlie Curnow with some other picks/players involved from both sides.

 

Curnow is cooked mate. I would not be surprised if he doesn't play again. Still struggling with his knee injury.

I wouldn’t take Curnow due to his injury history but McKay should be in our sights if this eventuates

Its absolute bunkem.. Clayton was 100% angry about finishing 5th.. Like Morris said (who i despise) Clayton is competitive and wants to be the best, maybe as another poster said, its immaturity and he needs to get better.. BUt there is a snowflakes chance in hell that Clayton will leave the Dees. he loves it, loves the players. Its not happening.

If you follow pop culture, Jennifer Aniston  according to every trashy magazine has been pregnant since 2002 but yet to have her baby..

Maybe he loves winning more than all those other things and sees a better chance of that happening elsewhere?

It's all hypothetical of course, but plenty of people love partners and leave, love jobs and leave etc. 

If Carlton were to double his income and guarantee it for 5+ years, that would be something you could learn to love

Oliver ain’t going to be paid $1.6 a year I wouldn’t have thought

All because he came fifth in the B&F?

I just think think he like some players would be getting restless because of the lack of success. Oliver's already had 5 years in the system and he's played finals once. It would absolutely play on their minds knowing they have a bloke on the list named Nathan Jones who's barely had any success. Do they want to go down that same path?

Putting my football hat on, as a player, would absolutely hand back all my individual achievements if it meant I was constantly playing finals each year and knowing that we were so close on the brink of success. 

Watching the likes of Brisbane, St Kilda go past us in the last 2 years would leave a pretty salty taste in their mouths.

Having dealt with Oliver from our bushies days, he's a competitive beast who just wants to win every single game and taste success. He's never once come across someone who's in for the individual stuff.

So, we are talking of Clarry leaving based on a throwaway comment on Footy Classified and some bloke on a BigFooty supporter page?  Have I missed something here?

 

Its the silly season, and some Melbourne supporters - at least on the evidence of this site - appear to be sillier than most. Perhaps we can put it down to Covid insanity. Either way, some of these trade geniuses would be better off going to a corner and reading a book.

Hard to think that 5th in the BnF on its own, would prompt him to look elsewhere  The impact of 5th is disappointment and he gets a lower $ bonus than finishing higher, which could be enough to concern him.

I would guess at least half a dozen players earn more than he does so a big package elsewhere could be attractive.

There could be any number of other issues:  pace of his development, the blowtorch from the media and no-one at the club stood up for him, other players get lots more than him but contributing less, other players not working as hard as he does on and off the field, relationships with teammate(s) etc.

@Demons11and @Demon3usually have good mail and don't post on a whim.  So if they are saying Oliver is restless I believe them.  I also believe their view that he won't be traded this year and next year is critical to keeping him (as it is to keeping many others).

Somehow   this Rumour  needs to be put to bed.

By the Club and player,               otherwise as they say, it will go viral.  Get its own legs and take off.

 

And who knows where a rubbish rumour will end.   in tears probably.

Seriously reading this thread is hilarious - posts going all over the place.  There would be a lot more noise if this was true however if im Clarry im putting the club on notice that i expect the club to be ruthless in acquiring more talent to keep me at the MFC

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
