The Age says that on his current contract Oliver would be easily the highest-paid player at Geelong. So that’s ahead of Jeremy Cameron and Patrick Dangerfield.  It says Geelong has rarely overpaid for even the top-end players they have had. Seems like they’re far better money and player managers than we are.

Well they do have $1 farms and all that sweet Cotton On cash not coming out of the salary cap.

    But they're also helped by the fact that houses cost less in Geelong/surf coast so the players are ok will bring paid slightly less. Let alone the under the table deals...

    Geelong are cheats, and one day one of these deals will go sour and all will be revealed. Hopefully big enough that the AFL can't cover it up.

    Or that we’ve given up on that idea and willing to sell for way less than Clarry is worth?

    A player with ongoing personal/behavioural issues who has been average at best for the last 18 months and who's on a massive contract until he's 33.

    None of that is going to help his worth.

    The other question in all this that hasn't been brought up anywhere, would Oliver be prepared to take a pay cut to help this go through?

    Can you expand rather than just posting the same thing. 

    Just like Trac, he has a massive contract, so Melbourne still have the final call.

    Hi Daz & Brendan. I can’t say too much except that right now, I think a deal gets done. 
    When I announced this a month ago, I didn’t think it was possible because I couldn’t see Dees getting fair value from Cats. 
    They’ll certainly have their work cut out taking on Bailey, Claz & Stengle. 
    The stories I could tell re Bailey. 

    Cheers GD's 👏

    On a side note, do you think we'll target any particular name to fill in some midfield depth?

    Thanks @goodwindees - no worries if you can’t say but does that mean you now think we can get fair value from the Cats?

    No, not at all. The bargaining powers have changed significantly, and a month ago, Claz didn’t want to leave.

    I'm sure the Cats' broom is large enough to sweep things under the rug, and the Geelong Advertiser isn't going to lag on one of their boys.

    Thanks for the info as always 

    From the outside this seems more and more like a huge [censored] up by the club, especially if clubs were asking if two first rounders would get it done only a month ago…

    And now we made him want to leave, and have gone from having clubs offer 2 first round picks (according to you a month ago), to Geelong offering us a bag of stale chips instead.

    Look who's back from trolling the AFLW thread with nasty little misogynist pot shots after their uplifting win tonight!

    Why? What if the teams get better? Who knows what the future holds. Nobody saw ‘21 coming. Sometimes you’ve got to make moves to improve.

    True.

    Lions were considered garbage earlier in the year.

    Pies were a certainty for finals.

    Carlton were looking top 2 and Swans couldn’t be beaten.

    Tigers getting the wooden spoon would have seemed impossible.

    Hawks winning a final, no way.

    Yes, sometimes difficult moves create change for the better.

    I think it’s simple. Clarry was on a strict sober protocol - one of the conditions set forth last year including medical appointments. He failed both of those two and basically MFC have no leg to stand on as it was his last warning.

    Its sad, but it’s the only move we had left. 
     

    It also shows unfortunately that Clarry needs to be monitored / looked after 365 days of the year. It took one opportunity for him to slip up and h grabbed it with both hands (allegedly). At the worst - I think his footy career will wither away wherever he ends up. Best case, his a shadow of his former self. 
     

     

    The thing that bugs me about this is the behaviour from the club has come across as incredibly indecisive and shambolic. Either the club wasn't fully aligned on the standards they set themselves and have fallen apart the moment they were tested. Or we're doing some bizarre gambit where 'we're thinking of trading him but maybe not, let's have a meeting to work it out'.

    Both scenarios just makes the club look terrible. People might argue that definitively putting Oliver on the trade table would have gotten us a worse deal, but I can't imagine the difference would have been much worse than what we'll end up getting back from Geelong. Reputation matters. We've already scared away Houston this year and I doubt any decent player will be wanting to join us for a while.

    Petracca scared off Houston ,  and Clarrys problems are of his own making

    Pretty pathetic from Clayton. Very childish, if that is him. At least Christian kept quiet.

    The MFC has bent over backwards for this [censored].

    He is a 27yo that needs 24/7 baby sitting. One day he might turn into a grown up.

    • 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.
