Clayton Oliver Re-Signs Until 2023

[dees189227 12,453]

Wow it does feel strange to see good players re-sign with the players over the years who have walked. 

I guess a wining culture and positivity does help.

Club twitter just now...

"The club's running unbelievable at the moment – 4-0, couldn't be in a better place. Probably in recent years, when the other teams have got a run on against us, we've been a little bit negative, but we've matured as a group and we're handling it a lot better."

[Dame Gaga 2,453]

Never doubted him.    Love love love Clarrie

Outstanding news,   Fan, blooody, tastic  news even, shows Commitment on behalf of the player to the club, I hope his reward the other way was more than adequate .   He will want to stay for longer if we win a Granny this year and/or next.

As much as I have criticised Clarry on this site for various things over the years (e.g. kicking scrubbers, overhead loose handballs, grinning after missing easy goals, etc.) and posted heresay about his text message to Cripps last year, I am sincerely happy that he has signed on.

Clarry is a genuine A grade inside mid and we need players like him to finally win another premiership. Well done to all involved who helped him over the line in the contract negotiations. Go Dees.

That is extremely interesting.

The Yze impact seems under appreciated, Hasn’t been spoken off as much as Williams.

Bringing in Yze and Williams will prove to be THE switch that turned this club around 

 

If we believe this to be the case, then Pert probably needs to take credit for keeping our quality players on the list with the review and changes he drove. Personally, I don't doubt he was looking around (or maybe his mgr was for him) but he would have needed interest from a team that will challenge sooner than MFC to have even considered moving and Carlton was never that team - they do however have salary cap room to help drive his price up which is handy. Anyway, excited to have him on board and love the way he goes about his footy. We have an awesome midfield emerging with maturity

Sounds promising ... can you advise if its player related, football dept related, any other category you could narrow it down to?

Don’t know. Maybe it was just all round frustration, but he and Yze are working really well together i am assured, so i was confident he would sign. 

so maybe he is coachable after all.

Everyone is coachable when they are engaged and want to learn. 
Yze was not only a gun player, but part of a 3peat. 
helps

Sorry Bigred but I disagree. No Melb fan would ever under appreciate YZE. One of the smartest payers of the Daniher era, a Clarkson strategist for nearly 10 years and was wanting to come home 2 years ago. Rightfully Clarkson made him stay.

Williams is brilliant in other aspects and a great coaching addition.

But underestimate YZe's imact on the way the team is playing?

- Never. Clarry's signature sosays so too.

Tracc on 360- wrapped about Oliver.

Said difference between now and two years ago is we take feedback heaps better and are more mature, whereas two years ago, we may have said 'get stuffed' to feedback.

Sign of maternity for sure, to be able to take well intentioned feedback.

(And in that spirit, it’s rapt, not wrapped - or wrapt as we sometimes see on this forum. Rapt, as in rapture.)

In the immortal words of Dennis Denuto, F'n Brilliant.

Keep the good news flowing through Dees.

Love it. F'n Love it.

A massive vote of confidence for Goodwin. No way he signs so early if he does not fully support the coach and the direction we are heading.

About time we all get behind the coach

Surely it isn’t Pert leaving or anything. Can you at least put that to rest please?

As per my previous post.  I am not saying anything more.

Fantastic news! How good is this to be a Dees supporter at the moment. Perfect start to the year. Key forwards to come in. Oliver and Hunt committing to new deals. Max doing same pre-season. Jonesy to play his 300th on Anzac Eve when we rip the Tigers a new one!

Would the love be so ardent if we had lost all 4 games and Oliver decided not to re-sign. 

Sorry Old Fart but it is amazing to read the accolades and love after a few wins. They better keep winning.
