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

    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

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
