    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.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
