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.

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!

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

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

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.

Apparently Pert acted alone & there are a lot of angry people inside the Club…

The B&F could be the highlight of 2024

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

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.  

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?

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 

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

 

Clarry’s  not a farmer, I can’t vision him driving a tractor or nutting sheep, let’s see what happens.7B6496FA-4B86-4D5D-A4A3-5CF5A1C825AC.thumb.jpeg.84fb86416dec5b23e4eb61e193ee14ee.jpeg

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

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.

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.

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

I’m honestly over everything.

Trade season used to be a highlight at Demonland - the last few years it’s just an opportunity for the entire football world to knife our supporters repeatedly in the chest, and stain the future season so much that there’s no enjoyment.

I haven’t even bothered to visit Demonland very much since we became ineligible for finals. 

Can’t even go to footy news sites or forums or socials without feeling like being kicked in the chest. 

Such a change from the euphoria of 2020-2023

It is possible that Pert believes his time is up. And so to help Goodie who may be playing the good cop, if nothing comes of it, he has opened up offers and facilitated Clarrys interview with Geelong. Just a possibility.

I have a feeling you don't know Pert very well.

I think it's far more likely our club is simply poorly run than we're running some bizzaro scheme like this that yields no tangible benefit for anyone and only serves to make the club look shambolic.

Journos were talking about Geelong’s belief that Clarry could be levered out during the season, so they may been some degree of contact well before now.

Sammy Edmund suggested Clarry’s behaviour on Brownlow night wasn’t viewed positively. Not a long bow to surmise that the club gave him prompt feedback (or attempted to), Clarry didn’t appreciate this and subsequently met with Cats, which in turn led to Pert calling clubs later that week.

Edited by ChaserJ

 

If the playing group is fed up with Clarry then why would the media be rep with him for a training camp a few weeks ago?

A lot must have happened in the last few weeks.

Watch every media outlet and Geelong supporter say "no way will they pay overs for what he's been like recently" while in the same breath say "look how good our midfield is now that we've got Oliver". If he's good, then pay up.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
