One of the many things that I don’t understand about this why would we shopped him round to cats who have the least trade capital, why would we not be shopping him to north or saints or hawks

I'd say its because at the moment its only the cats who are interested in him. You would have heard by now if other clubs were sniffing around.

Who is “we” exactly though? 

Because Goodwin apparently doesn’t. 

If we’re to believe him, forces higher up are about to strip him of a club champion. A champion who he believes he can still manage and return him to his best form. 

So either that’s not how he really feels, or the club are officially saying they have no confidence he can. 

This all fits in with the notion that one of Goodwin’s characteristics is being “mates” with the players. 

I can’t help but be reminded of the teachers I had in high school who wanted to be “in” with the students (“the ones who’d say “None of that ‘mister’ stuff, call me Steve”). You liked them but you didn’t fear them, and you were often trying to find out where the boundaries actually were. 
 

 

You'd wonder if Roos would have managed it differently. 
He had the ultimatum 12 months ago and despite some injuries and fitness problems, by all accounts was putting his head down and doing his best.

Then bang, he's out.

I mentioned it a hundred pages ago, but look at Brisbane. In complete dissaray at the start of the season with infighting between players and partners after the vegas trip and then Fagan and the FD seemed to straighten it out and they win a flag.
I betchya he was not their mate.

I am going to miss watching him play for the Dees and loathe watching him come good for the cats.
The FD department at Jeelong must have complete faith in their coaches to bring Smith and Oliver in. They must truly believe in their systems to get these guys to knuckle down when it's required.

Clarry was a pure joy to watch when he was on song. Just lightening fast. Quite the tragedy for our club.

Relying on high draft picks to save our club is a farce. 

I'm feeling very Neeldy.

Alright then, that is it!

I am furious now! I was originally a big supporter of Gary Pert as CEO! I thought the Collingwood rumours were rubbish.

This is the final straw!

Brad Green needs to sack Gary Pert NOW!!!

I choose Clayton Oliver over Gary Pert!

Tigers will have the best draft hand unless we also want a player in return.

 

[Superunknown 4,200]

If SWYLs intel Is right, the board must remove Pert today. 
 

I still favour a top to bottom review of the entire club by an independent third party at arms length from the board and CEO. Everything in the table.

That might be the case but my referencing of Jay Clark’s post was to question how Oliver could out if we didn’t agree.

If Geelong really want him they need to compensate us.

Also, MFC should not be conned into paying a cent of his salary.

We are the ones pushing Oliver out… not him wanting out. It seems that dees football department are willing to both take a salary hit and sub standard draft picks to get him out the door. Very depressing 

[spirit of norm smith 15,870]

Cats can offer us nothing except a salary dump opportunity. Maybe a future 1st and 2nd round pick. No players would appeal excepting for Holmes and he’s committed to staying at the Cats.  

[COOLX 204]

We would need Geelong's 1st and 2nd round pick plus their next year's   1st round pick. We could bundle up all these picks for an early 1 st round pick. However this is not going to happen because Geelong's 1st rounder is going to the Dogs for Bailey Smith. An alternate would be Oliver renegotiates his salary for less plus less time. We then can accept Geelong's @nd rounder and a future 1St plus a player. None of this is going to happen.

Get rid of both of them. They are both shizen for our culture.

Don’t think we did shop him to Cats. Cats have been lurking for some time, when Clarry had an initial meeting with Cats (which is what apparently surprised the Dees) Pert spoke to other clubs to see if there was a market.

Clearly Geelong is not our trade partner of choice.

There is absolutely no way pert didn’t consult the football department on this. Makes no sense as it doesn’t form part of a cohesive strategy. Unless the club comes out and says so I wouldn’t believe any other report

Jhye Clark was drafted by Geelong to take over from Joel Selwood. Inside hard nut, two-way runner. 

I'd take either of the players drafted with their last two first round selections.

Jhye Clark is a local Geelong boy and alongside Bruhn and Holmes would be seen as their emerging future midfielders.  Its likely to be a No.

Didn’t Pert call around GF week though? Does that mean Clarry met Geelong earlier than that?

The question has to be why are they so desperate to get him out? What has he done? Maybe then.. we can except this?

[bluey 1,055]

Clarry’s  not a farmer, I can’t vision him driving a tractor or nutting sheep, let’s see what happens.

my mate goes for Geelong. He doesn’t know how the deal gets done but suggested Clark could be the sacrifice.  Injuries not been kind to the lad though.

Dream on, have you seen Oliver play in the last 18 months, we will probably get a second rounder the way we are going

Seriously??

Should be sacked PRONTO

[PaulRB 6,317]

Reckon that Trac has requested this. Explains his decision to go overseas for the B&F, so as not to be called out for demanding “Clarry goes or I go.”…

just speculation, but the pieces are not disconnected…

These never ending dramas with our club are really bringing me down.

Love for the game is truly being tested big time.

I fear our membership numbers will take severe nose dive next season .

Just like this year.

A move to Tassie is looking good.

Wasn't it Perts review in 2020 that lead to a flag in 2021
