Yeah sadly we just seemed to have pushed out a generational talent and no doubt it will bite us. 

Can't help but feel we'll plummet next year and Team Tracc will be off to the filth.

    um ... i think he pushed himself out, norm.  stop making excuses for him 

    Has to be the truth. I really look foward to those memoirs in ten years time.

    Hopefully at least he will be able to afford shoes when he turns up to future preseason camps.

    People having a crack at the club but the only thing that has created this are Oliver’s actions.. club has supported him continuously & only so much they can put up with ….

    Everyone seems under the assumption that it’s 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.

    I never mentioned anything about a 2 club transaction. But if you look at what they’ve committed to with Smith, and the picks they have, they’d have to give up something genuinely valuable to anyone to get enough capital to bring in Smith and Oliver.

    Also, I’m so over the narrative that other clubs are so wonderfully run. I know stories about Geelong, and its culture, that would make people’s toes curl. They benefit massively from the fact that no journo in Melbourne can be bothered to drive down there to dig dirt on such a short news cycle. It’s not as perfect as people think.

    He arrived in Lorne with shoes. He just parted ways with them climbing fences in the wee hours.

    Oliver Twist's mentor was Fagin.  Clarry is off to Brisbane for sure!

    And Geelong are the Artful Dodger

    What are his actions? He looks like he's in the best shape for years.

    Clayton is a product of his environment. Viney, Lever and McDonald aside, our senior players were all scallywags as younger men. Clayton learnt how to adult in that setting.

    No doubt he's taken things to another level, but don't kid yourself we have/had a list of Trent Cotchin's and Sam Mitchell's

    So what happened at the farm? I know farms have sheep and there might be some magic mushrooms growing in the hedge rows. Mysterious things can happen in isolated places. Could a callow type like Oliver be brainwashed to sell his soul to the cat cult?

    Is that your opinion that he's gone? Don't the club have to accept the offer that Geelong give?

    Yep 

    Surely we have to get at least a F1, to sell the trade to the Dees supporters

    If the Board and Pert have decided that its time for Oliver to go they need to get in touch with Richo, Lamb and Goodwin and explain that this is the direction the club is taking and they are instructed to find the best offer for him. Basic chain of command. It's terrible to have the footy dept blindsided by the CEO going over their heads.

    Where is your evidence that the footy department was ‘blindsided’…? stop believing media BS

    Good clubs manage these sort of players. The stories I used to hear about Buddy were staggering. Even Dusty has had his moments.

    and by manage do you mean cover things up and pretend that they aren't happening?

    In return, Geelong will offer up Spiro Malakellis, David Mensch and pick 53

    They did give us Nigel Kol. Maybe they'll include his twin brother Michael as part of the trade.

    "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

    It is on the club for failing to manage it.

    And if he goes to Geelong and regains form we'll know that we just weren't equipped to handle it. S'all good.

    The club is a basketcase. We had two generational mids that we built a team around and got a flag while still in their mid 20s. Within 3 years we've reverted back to the basketcase we've been for 60 years and both those players (on long term contracts) want out. Heads must roll, the nuffies in charge are going to kill the club.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
