Oliver Trade Rumours

[rjay 24,772]

"Club figures on Monday night said adamant Oliver was not going anywhere,"

Adam Ant Oliver...

[Deesprate 1,324]

Trading Oliver would nail shut any possibility of a rebound. Good to see the club knock this on the head.

I'm generally somewhat a defender of journalists here at times, there are a few I find quite good, and I think often the reactions here to the differing news reports hinge on whether it's good news from a Demon perspective or not. 

In saying that, McClure is one who I believe has such a bad track record now with 'inside information' that I would go as far as to say I doubt there is any truth in his 'mail' as it stands.

I definitely believe clubs would be throwing the bait out there, but McClure's comments about Oliver's feelings I find extremely hard to believe.

I wish someone had a record of his predictions' success rate. That might wipe that smirk of his face. The smirk I think, reflects his awareness that he gets away with a lot of rubbish in his job.

Clarry has got plenty of motivation to get back to his best at this point. If I were him I'd be playing Kane Cornes' greatest worst hits on loop during all my training sessions.

I think this is just hack juice from McClure.

It's all just he said she said.

Agree. McClure is a piece of 💩💩💩💩

You are being very kind to him

95% of the media are clowns. They throw all sorts of things out there without care in the hope they are first if it ever turns out to be true.

Listen to what the best offer is out there.

If it's two first rounders including a top 10 pick this year then we'd have to seriously consider it.

This whole Oliver situation in itself is becoming a distraction for the club and has been for the last two years.

It's not going away anytime soon, let's see what offers are out there.

I'll stick by my influential mail of my source at Geelong, that says they are seriously into him!

[dees189227 12,344]

If 1% of this was true, I'd be diappointed. Clayton has put the club into the media headlines all last summer, he had a terrible season, his lack of pre season caught up with him and it showed. 

Gee the best and fairest night will be interetsing.

Every club would love to have him.  Lots of "in theory" and hypotheticals going on here.  Would it be good for us? Maybe.  Would it be good for him? Maybe.

What is certain is that I can't see Melbourne letting him go while the window is open. We have pick 5 this year and blooded a bunch of kids last season. 

Let's not get dragged into Sam McLures BoM-level of predictions. Go Dees.

Looking forward to seeing him stand and deliver for MFC in 2025 and beyond.

Swans are shopping around Errol Gulden .

To the Tigers apparently.

Jast as an aside.

They may well be into him but he's not leaving for anything less than his quality in either picks or a player and picks as payment. Cats simply can't get it done.

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,535]

Doesn't really bother me IF other clubs are into Clarry. They'd be mad not to. 

Geelong will take Bailey, and simply don't have anything to give us. Sometimes I wander past the Ferrari showroom and stick my face to the window and point. Doesn't mean diddly squat. 

FWIW Geelong can shove their interest right up the back entrance of their $340m funded stadium.

Anyhoo, all the interest in Clarry, generally, simply means other clubs what our club would know - that he has immense value and WILL return to his best next year. Otherwise they wouldn't be asking.

We love Clarry and Clarry loves us, and the journos pushing this garbage are gutter rats. Fugazi.

Ignore.

I hope Clarry doesn't go however to say Geelong doesn't have anything to give us is incorrect. There are a number of players including SDK (who I've read is disgruntled), Max Holmes, etc, who I'm sure we would look at.

Geelong don’t have the collateral to obtain Oliver, so they can like all they want and be in his ear as much as they like

I take your point. Sorry, I meant draft picks, but yeah they obviously have a few players we'd gladly take off their hands, if realistic. Are SDK and Max BOTH looking for a trade? To us? Because that's the bare minimum I think/hope we'd consider. It's just my humble opinion, I love Clarry and know he will return to his best next year, but I don't think SDK for him is a win for us at all. That's the Cats winning a trade, again. Which they somehow manage to do often. We hold firm. Clarry is a 3 x All Australian, 4 x B&F. Neither Sam, nor SDK, has even one such title. 

And realistically, I don't believe the Cats would hand them both over, so I don't believe there is a realistic deal there, which is what I was alluding to in my earlier post.

Sam DeKoning plus would be a good start.

Would you do Shannon Neale and Sam DeKoning?

Forward back up ruck and key back. 

[Demonland 70,990]

 

[D4Life 2,435]

How about we keep Oliver and go for Sam De Koning!

 

[adonski 11,496]

Bit ominous

I'm of the view if we traded Clazz we may as well blow it up

Wtf do Jeelong have to offer anyway besides a F1

[D4Life 2,435]

Oliver should be thanking Melbourne and Max for all the c r a p he has put The team through and the support he has been provided! 
Great footballer, not sure of his other capabilities!

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,655]

Maybe Geelong give us a future first rounder as the showcase pick but we pay a portion of his salary.

Geelong flat out refuse to pay overs for players in terms of wage and draft pick unless their Jeremy Cameron. Therefore I can't fathom how we won't be on the hook for some of Clarry's salary.

If this happens, it signals to me that we're no longer in the window and/or they simply need to rid themselves of the player
