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

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
