Well no, but yes

this

zerrett and pick 6 would be an extraordinary offer

on the flipside, clayton is the best mid i've ever seen in my time following the dees since the mid 80s

lyon's comments are interesting

    Talk about over exaggerating.  I love Oliver and think he is a star but 1 player certainly does not make club.

    Heard anything @dazzledavey36?

    He's not going anywhere for this year.

    I'd be more worried if we got to round 10 next year and he was still unsigned and we were not in the top 8.

    The Oliver being unhappy is real though.

    Yep, that's what I've heard too. 

    We need to come out of the blocks like Usain Bolt next year.

    If this club starts losing players of Oliver’s caliber it’s all over. If you don’t agree you’ve got no idea

    As long as we aren’t being dramatic about it.

    One of the reports noted that Oliver's managers have strenuously denied all these rumours. 

    Thanks - missed that- don’t track all that stuff. Why is this still a talking point then? Or is it all melbourne lockdown-acosis?

    So when WC lost Judd, did they shrivel up

    I differ in the respect we had very good foresight to recruit him. He is an exceptionally talented player with the right drive. It is a killer for support and list building if he goes.

    Well, the year after he left they finished 15th (second last). The year after that 11th. The year after that 16th (last). It took them another 4 years to get back into the 8. This is with the best resources in the AFL. They didn't shrivel up, but they went from competing for flags to nowhere...

    West coast were a powerhouse with recent premierships. We’re a battling nobody that no one cares about. You start losing your best players and Oliver is a once in a generation mid and we’re [censored]. How many more years do you want to wait for a Premiership? You’re kidding yourself if you don’t realise that.

    I'm only disputing that West Coast remained a strong club after Judd left. It's untrue and their performances showed this.

    I never said he wouldn’t hurt but 1 player doesn’t ruin a whole team

    What a club. Cant even keep one genuine star mid in 20 years happy for longer than 4 years. 

    The damage goodwin is doing to the club is unimaginable.

    Question has to be asked whether you want to hang on to a disenchanted player a year too long?

    Like everyone else on this site I don't know anything about what is happening with Oliver but I am sure as hell not getting my knickers in a knot by rumors and innuendo.

    He’s not disenchanted. He wants a Premiership and he’s very unlikely to get that here

    Well he can get in line behind most of us supporters. 
     

    FFS if we are [censored] again next season bye bye quality players and it won’t only be Oliver who will want out imo. 
     

    Goodwin betta hit the road running like the Flash cause  if we are zip and 5 he is gone and so is ANOTHER season.

    We know nothing as fact but the issue is.

    He will not likely sign in the off season. The longer it takes the more his decision is based on team success and playing finals. The pressure will be intense and I am convinced another power club has not shown their hand yet.

    It’s likely a similar situation to Petracca last year. You’ve got a pro stuck with a bunch of amateurs and he’s looking around. Face it unless we go too 4 next year we’re going to start losing talent.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
