Well no, but yes

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

If Oliver were to leave that would be the end of this club

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.

Do you know anything mate or are you just running around trying to put the fire out?

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. 

Edited by DemonOX

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
