Oliver Trade Rumours

I wonder how Max Gawn is feeling after all the effort he has put in over the past 12 months. Would it be relief or pure anger at how this ended? I also doubt we will ever know the truth behind the decision.

My kingdom for a stable, smart, proactive, water tight football club. We are a disgrace.

    I’m pretty certain that the media have completely fabricated this story just so they can use the pun, “Oliver’s Twist”, in all of their headlines. 

    Do we get to save a penny or two??

    No we will get to read all about it in ten years time in the two memoirs 'The Tender of the Vines' and 'Times Gawn By'

    I would be surprised if he wasn’t consulted/ involved to a degree in the decision 


    Not across everything & not wanting to lose Oliver, but if this does eventuate why we only looking at a future 1st and not this years? I assume because this years first goes for Bailey Smith. Surely Oliver would warrant our choice of this years or next.

    Isn’t there a “Mr. Brownlow” in Oliver Twist? I see what’s happening here.

    I'm asking if you know for sure if he's gone. Sam McClure is the only one who has said that Clarry wants to be traded and even then he has said that Clarry knows that it will be difficult to get done. 

    I heard it from a source 100% more reliable than Sam McClure that he will seek a trade in the next 24 hours. We will see if that eventuates. Same source has got a few wrong but got the Kennedy / Howe trade and the Toumpas choice before anyone else.

    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.

    "cruel to clarry"?  puleez, give me a break

    this is all on clarry.  the talk of clarry's off field behaviour has been the talk of the town for years and now it seems it really wasn't just so much talk

    hard to feel sorry for clarry for all the damage done to the club despite all the help he has been given

    I think that pick has been informally committed to Dogs for some time. Dogs want more though. If that deal falls through I’d imagine Smith will nominate for national draft and Geel will use that pick on him

    There are major clarry stories that are widely known within AFL circles that have not yet leaked into the mainstream AFL community. Some seemed so riiculous that you wondered but then again...

    Geelong can’t get it done, unless they off load something of serious value. I don’t think they have much they can afford to let go. 

    Geelong can get anything done - add another taxpayer funded bay of seats while you are at it.

    Everyone seems under the assumption that its only going to be a two club transaction. Geelong knows very well they will need to get at least one other team involved to get the draft capital to make it work. They are an excellent creative recruiting team.

      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.
