"The ruckman, who was part of the Cats team that fell just short of a grand final appearance with a heart-breaking preliminary final loss to Brisbane, recently purchased a property (for $1) in Moriac, south-west of Geelong."

    SDK plus future Ist rounder. Let’s go for it if true.

    Can I have some property for $1 too please?

    ‘Cats say ball is in our court’… that’s the sort of thing you say when you’re offering something really [censored] to someone really desperate.

    And rezone it to residential so that it will be worth millions.

    Demonland: we need a review, we need heads to roll. 
     

    Club implements review, Clayton Oliver is shown the door. 
     

    Demonland: not that kind of review

    Ball is in our court.

    I suspect we’ll have to pay 300-500k a year to get a future first.

    Maybe pay a little and get a second.

    Or we keep a player for 6 years, 6 million who we don’t trust and doesn’t trust us.

    No good options here.

    We’ll be lucky to get just the future first with only a low contribution on his salary. 
     

    We’ll likely get the future first and be forced to pay an eye-watering chunk of his salary for years.

    The Clarry trade looks legitimate. I think we are going to get next to nothing - and if the shoe was on the other foot after two failed seasons I wouldn’t offer anything more than what the Cats have offered. Just think Bennel. The Cats would like to think their culture will turn him around, but after what we did for him this year , if he still hasn’t come good, then we are really have no other choice.

    "The sources, speaking anonymously because the meetings were private, said Oliver was sold a star-studded midfield dream during the farm visit."

     

    the meetings were private, so private we met at a farm to keep it a secret and now I'm going to leak to the press.

    Norm Smith curse all over again. The greatest player of the modern era pushed out by an out of touch board.

    It creates an image about Oliver to me..

    2 days ago: “I love the club, owe them a debt.”

    2 days later: Shown some pretty paddocks and told he’s the best… “oh that sounds awesome I want to do that”

    2 short planks come to mind.

    Infuriating. Just one long shambles. I just want to support my footy team, not deal with all the drama.

    They've had the property for ages. His wife has posted pictures of their renovations on social media for about a year now.

    To get to this stage the club might have come to the realisation the Clarrie was a lost cause.

    I think back on all the drama that's happened at the club since 2020 and it's all happened under Gary Perts watch. He is the one that needs to leave. I think he's making Clarry the scapegoat to save his own hyde.

    Here is a summary:

    • Geelong Cats are targeting Carlton Blues forward Jack Martin for the 2024 AFL season.
    • Jack Martin, 29, chose Geelong over Fremantle, hoping to overcome his soft-tissue injuries at his new club.
    • Geelong could also secure Western Bulldogs’ Bailey Smith, who requested a move to the Cats.
    • There’s a long shot possibility that Clayton Oliver of Melbourne could join Geelong, pending a decision by the Demons.
    • Melbourne will hold talks to decide Clayton Oliver’s future, which could result in a trade.
    • Melbourne is considering whether trading Oliver would benefit their salary cap and culture reset.
    • Geelong will acquire Jack Martin as a delisted free agent, avoiding a trade for the forward.
    • Geelong’s draft pick #15 is committed to the Bailey Smith deal, limiting their trade assets for Oliver.
    • Melbourne may request a player from Geelong if the Oliver trade progresses, though Shannon Neale is likely off the table.
    • Geelong showed interest in Oliver earlier in 2024, but Adelaide is no longer pursuing him.
    • Melbourne contacted at least one other club regarding Oliver, which may have strained relations with the player.
    • Oliver is intrigued by the idea of moving to Geelong but the club isn’t actively driving the trade.
    • If Oliver, Smith, and Martin join, Geelong’s midfield will be significantly bolstered for 2025.
    • Geelong could offer a future first-round pick for Oliver, but Melbourne would likely request additional compensation.
    • Melbourne might have to cover part of Oliver’s salary if the trade goes through.
    • If compensation isn’t adequate, Melbourne could opt to retain Oliver despite internal issues.
    • Sydney veteran Luke Parker has requested a trade to North Melbourne, ending a 14-year career with the Swans.
    • Parker, 31, has played 293 games for Sydney and was the last member of their 2012 premiership team.
    • GWS player Wade Derksen has asked for a trade to Melbourne for family reasons, but the Giants are hesitant to let him go.
    • Several key GWS players are leaving as free agents, making the club reluctant to allow Derksen to be traded.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
