    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.

    Exactly this. The footy industry has become like Big Brother. The trade peroid, basically all year round these days, has become so sensationised it could be its own reality TV show.

    • 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.

    This is actually all bat**** crazy.
     

    After picking up the phone to Geelong knowing they had bugger to trade with AND they already had Bailey Smith in their sights, if Melbourne go “nah, we’re gonna keep him, we don’t like the  look of what you’re offering” that would be the most outrageous, stupid and cruel (to Clarry) thing I’ve have ever witnessed in football. If we had a proper president Pert would get the flick in an instant.

    "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.

    The hills have eyes out that way

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

    I never changed my moniker because I suspect the haze of COVID was the only thing that stopped it in 2021.

    Absolute clown club

    On Sunday night Clarry and the coaches were absolutely positive about the future at Melbourne 

    today he’s on the way to Geelong and it won’t be for much either 

     

    there is nothing functional about the club right now nor is there anything to be proud of.

    If you're in the window, Rule No.1 is to never deal with a contender.

    We must be in full rebuild mode to even contemplate trading to Geelong.

    Hope everyone's ready for the ride. It's all in for 2026/2027 in my view.

    After how 2023 ended, then the Oliver saga, then reports about club culture, then the Petracca saga, and now this again, I am already out for at least the first third of next season. I'll still get my AFL membership but I'm not attending games. No club in the league treats its fans with as much contempt as MFC does. I am done for now.

    And if they let Oliver walk to Geelong of all places for nothing, it would take nothing short of a Prelim appearance to have been even contemplating returning to the club. 

    I can't believe we are even in a situation with our 4-tims B&F, multi-award winning and All Australian, premiership winning midfielder is about to walk to [censored] Geelong on a 5 year deal for peanuts in return.

    Anyone even trying to justify this is deluded.

    I am fine to see OIiver traded but I don't see the point in us paying a huge chunk of salary cap space as part of the deal. We should make it clear to his manager that this is a deal breaker for us and if they can't find a club willing to pay almost all the contract we should shut it down early. We should be prepared to take a token pick to clear him out if it clears us of his future wages.

    With Clarry winning BEST FINALS PLAYER🤯

    Clarry is Gawn. It's done. 

    Being the younger of the midfield dynamic duo we better walk out with a massive gain from somewhere else and Petracca had better not bail as well in 12 months. 

    Otherwise pull the trigger now I say.

    He is managed by the same company as Petracca and Houston.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
