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!


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.

Adam Ant Oliver...

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.

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. 

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

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!


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

 

i love that every article maclure writes about oliver includes the caveat that 'melbourne are adamant he's not up for trade'

who is pushing for the trade, i wonder?

all of maclure's commentary seems to be coming from the oliver camp

Window is firmly and truly shut if Clarry is traded. 

Wonder how the likes of Max and Jack who have re-committed feel about spending the remainder of their careers without a flag chance. 

I would love someone to ask Kane point blank why exactly we should move heaven and earth to get him off our books. There have been a lot of implications made but right now at this point I want to hear his case. The people he is chatting with on these shows just take those implications and run with the narrative. 

My case right now is that I don't want to die wondering and give him the full pre season he deserves. There will be plenty of other years for the media to have a crack at this again, they're not gonna sell any less papers, subscriptions or clicks this year I promise.

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
