Four vastly different situations. 

Name another club that has this happening all at once.... if the environment was better, not even Nibbler would consider leaving.

Cant see how Geelong make this happen. Guess we'll see how much we really want Oliver.

Conspiracy theorist in me says Melbourne are pulling the strings in the background, quietly promising Geelong they’ll get him at a good discount (eg future 1st or even 2nd rounder this yr), possibly even including some of his salary in the deal, all in an attempt to move him on without it looking like we were pushing it.

Good on you, but losing players of this calibre this just rips the soul out off the club

sort of but not really

the soul of the club is the supporters, not the players

How does Geelong get 2 first rounders, and both Smith who they are committed to, and Oliver?

Or it just makes Oliver look devious.

I reckon what went down with Clarry 12 months ago was what ripped the soul out of the club.

Geelong will probably offer a 2nd rounder in exchange for paying his whole salary. Best maybe a future 1st.

If he goes it will be on our terms. He has a long term contract with us same as trac. If this happens it’s because the club made not the call, not Clarry and not the cats.

I can't stand Goodwin, and I have huge issues with Pert and Roffey, I'm on the record there. But the club can't be blamed for Oliver's immaturity, extraneous strings pulling at Petracca and ANB has legitimate reasons to go back to SA. I completely disagree with your definitive statement on ANB; and until you've been in a situation like that there's no point projecting. 

Whilst I somewhat agree with your point around the environment being subpar, the whataboutism is a completely hypothetical point.

Cats mids are ordinary. They have no good trade capital.

A top 6 pick for a start required.

Oliver plays for Dee's in '25 or he sits the season out on leave without pay.

 

 

I highly doubt player contracts allow for arbitrary non-payment to players lol

As much as I dont want to buy into trading Oliver I wouldn't be surprised if stuff like this happens.

If they wanted to trade him, they wouldn't need to do this - clearly there is plenty of interest (eg Crows last year).  Many teams still tagged him even though he was not match fit and had a broken hand.  He is clearly highly rated - a multiple coaches award winner.

To do what you are suggesting would be stupid as it reduces his trade value.

How in tune with us is Jon Ralph at the minute.  He seems to be the follow up to a lot of our player stories at the moment.


SDK? Left out of their prelim team.

Conspiracy theory - Demonland administrators leak fake Oliver meeting with Geelong news, in order to get post numbers back up to the Petracca incident levels.

Yet it would save face with the members. Not sure which is more valuable right now. 

Apparently Barassi wants out!!

It's not going to be that...

unfortunately it's now about simply getting a mega contract off our books. The picks will be middling to reasonable without being high

Lol, could you imagine if it was just an elaborate troll by clarry.

Well unless we are trying to offload his contract to make space for another mega star player, this will absolutely not fly with supporters.

Would you be happy with trading Clarry for unders, watch him help Geelong contend YET AGAIN, and all we get out of it is salary cap relief which we don't need?

The members of this club have spoken loudly this year. We lost 10,000 members, and attendance dropped off. Trade Clarry for unders and watch the bottom fall out.

IF we trade Clarry, it has to result in someone very good coming back in return. Not more mid tier draft picks.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
