Oliver Trade Rumours

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

    • Haha 1

    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 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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
