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

    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.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
