Would think they're current first rounder, 15, is going to the Bulldogs as it stands. Future first perhaps?

Give me future first plus Toby Conway or Sam De koning.ย  No way does a deal get done with a mid to late first round pick

So many rumours, donโ€™t even know what to believe!

Met someone out the other night and randomly mentioned Oliver with out knowing I follow footy/Melbourne and seems he may not have changed his ways still.

again though, could be another person who talks smack.ย 

For me personally, I rather Koz stay over Oliver purely being my favourite player and more excitingย 

 

Where is Goodwin in all this? We're back to being a basket case of a football club.ย 

Where does it end?

I want Clarry at Melbourne next season and beyond but it sure is exhausting going through this every year.

It's going to continue next year with Trac, especially if Clarry is traded and we don't make finals again.

This club is allergic to success.

If this is true whoever is leaking definitely wants to undermine the club

Well I didnโ€™t โ€™concludeโ€™ that, I said it was possible.

I said it was โ€˜possibleโ€™ because;

- it seemed unusual that Geelong would be speaking to him with the limited trade assets they have IF they didnโ€™t think Melbourne would be open to selling him on the cheapย 

- he is taking up an enormous chunk of our salary cap for a very long time so if the FD donโ€™t believe he will get back to his best and give us maximum value for that investment then it is reasonable to assume theyโ€™d at least explore options to move him on

- the club could reasonably assume that if we were seen to be rushing him out the door in a โ€˜fire saleโ€™, our members would be livid (akin to Filth members when Grundy and Treloar went) so influecing the narrative to make the decision look more out of our control has benefits

While your listed observations have some limited amount of merit I donโ€™t believe we are about to move Clarry on and make ย 2/3 $ mill loss on his contract. That would be tiling the members.ย 

Oh and if GFC are interested in Clarry they know their $$ or attitude to obtaining him and are talking to him to see what salary he might be willing to accept especially as they will have to juggle him and Bailey Smith possibly in the trade period coming up.ย 

It doesnโ€™t mean we are going to fire sale Clarry out as you suggest because it looks too tough to keep him or negotiate a fair deal with the Cats who are notoriously light payers to even elite recruits.ย 

Hey @WalkingCivilWarย I have seen you pinged a few times here. I just want to send some goodness your way, hope you're doing ok.ย

Sam DeKoning plus would be a good start.

Would you do Shannon Neale and Sam DeKoning?

Forward back up ruck and key back.ย 

Iโ€™d still want a good pick to go with it.ย

Nup

if Clarry goes Iโ€™m done, been a member since 89, the Petracca, Oliver & Kozzie rumblings will be enoughย 

Im disappointed beyond words to see what is happening to the club three years after a premiershipย 

Fair enough Billy, but I won't be leaving my club because some players do, no matter who they are and including Clarry, my favourite player.

I also think the club may know more about our players, than we do from the outside.

Exactly and Trac is also part of the ongoing exhaustion.ย 

Octoberitis is going to wear thin.ย 

I hate favourite players wanting to leave, but if we get compensated with high draft picks, I am wondering if the MFC will be better off in the long run.ย  We don't really know what is going on in the inner sanctum of the club. Are some players unhappy about some of the off field activities of players and this is what is causing friction ?ย  ย We may never know.ย  But I do know, that in no way, do I want any of my membership going to another club to help pay for one of our ex players.

I try to drum in loyalty and sticking fat with the club through thick and thin to my kids, but this club makes it difficult at times.ย  ย  ย Time for the club to start firing a few shots instead of taking them.

Surely his "manager" has some morals. If not he should be deregistered. A contract is a contract entered into by BOTH sides. Why should the Club have to baby sit people who do not honour their committments.

How would Gawny & JV feel having given everything to a Club and peopleย  ><.* *8 $^%& on their face !!!

If MFC "subsidise" his payments then I am following Soccer.

IF it is true then the AFL should be loooking at Geelong player payments (not just now, but over a number of years.

The not knowing what is really going on with Clarry and Trac is brutal

Mfc - Clarry is staying

Clarry - Iโ€™m stayingย 

Media - Clarry is meeting with the Cats

riiiiiight

ย 

Outside of Max Holmes, there is nothing Geelong can really offer that i'd seriously look at. I'd rather back Clarry in to return to his best form with a full pre-season

if you value club loyalty, don't bother.

Mfc want to add midfielders, I can't see a scenario that would convince us to trade away our prime ball winner.

If anything, we keep Petracca and Oliver for next year and hope they hit their best form. If (and its a big if here) they're still unhappy and we're not making finals, then I'd be open to maximising our draft capital and bringing in multiple first rounders prior to tassie coming in. This year would be selling low for both.

Any link between Trac staying and Oliver going?

Damien Barrett sure thinks so on Trade Radio.

Without knowing, it seems that way... think I read somewhere Tracc was upset how lenient we were on Clarry last of season, there relationship is probably key to Dees fortunes moving forward. Hopefully it can be fixed.

If Oliver wants in, excellent. But then it's time for him to commit himself to us publicly and put an end to all the rumours.

If Oliver wants out, it's time for him to tell the club he is ready to move if a deal suitable to Melbourne can be arranged. We know that would not be easy.

If Oliver continues to sit on the fence and talk to other clubs (as reported), he will again be a major distraction for his playing colleagues and the fans in 2025.

We need one of the first two scenarios to happen, and soon.
