    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.

    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: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
