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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
