Oliver Trade Rumours

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.

In the famous words of Norm Smith

”I’m MELBOURNE”

I’m not Clayton Oliver

I’m not Christian Petracca

He’s 29 or so, done a lot of miles, in average condition.

Happy to let him board the Geelong express, for a good player and next years Cats first.

I would rather we keep both Clayton Oliver and Christian Petracca.

Hope they can sort things out.

Would love to see them both play over 350+ games for the Demons and win more Premierships for us. A Brownlow Medal or two would be fabulous too!

Anyway, I guess we shall wait and see...

I will most certainly be very angry and upset if we lose either of them!

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.

Because trading away a star player in order to appease another is not being lenient or bending over backwards?

The minute players are driving list management decision, is the minute you need to shut up shop.

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.


Ralph is a shill. Not unknown to Pert.

Meanwhile, seems to have been started again by Pert, sitting on his deckchair at his home in Noosa.

Time flies! I can't say I ever visualised what a 30+ year old senior citizen Clarry would look and play like. Would he play off half forward to squeeze the last juice out him come end of contract? Or even in 3-5 years? And then disappear quietly? Or would he give you high midfield numbers until the end?

On his age, He's looked and played like a wild kid in his early-mid 20's for his entire career from day dot.

 

Edit- lol just saw he's 27! Doh.

Is there anything we can do in a way that doesn't splatter us across the front of the newspapers at the moment? Anything at all?

Maybe let's start by keeping the CEO out of list management decisions? 

If this is not a ploy to remove Pert, I am seriously starting to question whether this club is capable of running a donut stand, let alone a football club.

This is a scathing article. 

It suggests that the club has tried floating Clarry’s name, then regretted it, and now is trying to walk it back. 

It’s inconsistent with what Jon Ralph has reported, and isn’t even consistent with McClure (McClure said Clarry wanted out, Gleeson says we’ve started this). But if it’s true, it is not good.

If Trac is demanding Clarry leave he can [censored] right off

Would be like Cotchin not being happy with how lenient the Tigers were with Dusty or the Pies with De Geoy

If true, I won’t be cheering on Trac ever again

@tommorris32 💩💩💩💩💩provides the latest info surrounding Clayton Oliver and a potential move to Geelong. 

What sort of a gutless wonder makes a statement like that?

Who knows what to believe at this point. But if this has been driven by Pert then today should be his last day as an employee of the football club. As if we haven't already been enough of a joke for the last 12 months.

Right now this club is just extremely hard to like from pretty much every angle.

Ladies and gentlemen, Michael Gleeson has entered the arena🩸

Agree its hard to know what to believe.

But if this is true... then it's not like Pert would be doing this independently of Goody / Tim Lamb / Jason Taylor etc.  If it is true, the Dees must think there is more risk of ongoing problems / fractures etc with Clarry staying or that he won't get back to his best.
 

Definitely hope its not true but after the last few years it feels like there does need to be some big changes / difficult calls to move forwrad.  Hopefully they make the right ones.

As I have said all along, Roffey, Pert, Richardson and Goodwin all need to go! This really is the Icing on the cake and if true an absolute abomination!

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
