Oliver Trade Rumours

[Gorgoroth 12,910]

Just think, if Clarrie gets fit of mind and body and his hand is healed, His ability to get the ball out to Windsor who could then break lines is very appealing. Windsor and Trac bursting could be key to a faster moving team especially from stoppage.

Also Rivers

and McVee pushing forward into mid at times

Damian Barrett is so pro-Geelong it is embarrassing. That he should be in the AFL website - which should be objective- is a joke.  He is all about how great "Jezza", "Danger" or Scott is, and also, if he can get half a chance to slag off Melbourne he jumps at it. He clearly has an agenda: to destabilise Melbourne and Oliver and thus get Oliver to Geelong. And BTW, if Clarry is past it and out of date in his style, why is everyone so interested in pursuing him?

 

I hope and believe he will be at Melbourne next year, hopefully on his way to his THIRD AFLCA medal.

Barrett is a North fan.

Where were these ‘people around Clayton’ this time 12 months ago?

This will be hugely unpopular, but I believe with limited knowledge of the internal situation, that Melbourne will regret not trading one or more of Clarry, Trac or Kos. I have a feeling that one or more will request a trade next year. 
Happy to be wrong, hoping I’m wrong.. 

The club will regret not trading one of the players you mentioned because (you have a feeling) one or more will request a trade next year? I don’t think your post will be viewed as “unpopular”, more so just bizarre.

Clarry needs a MASSIVE 2025

FC has given him a lot of leeway and he simply needs to start focusing

That would amaze me but if you know that, then you know it. But I stand by what I said. He is forever kissing Geelong's you know what, and on the rare occasions that he isn't, he is bagging Melbourne.

Possibly too much leeway 

Time for a number of our players to repay the faith that the club has put in them through very lucrative contracts 

Lets see why you get the big $$$ fellas

He's a HQ shill, and HQ loves Geelong, Carlton and the Filth, so Purple does too.

Enough of the sulking and whinging and start having a crack

Trac will play more forward than midfield next year, we need a quicker skilled type midfield next year.

Barrett's an unequivocal North supporter.

He puts a ton of [censored] on them, but he is a North supporter.

Oh yes he will. There is no such thing as stooping too low for Barrett.

If Melbourne trades Clarry, ‘Dees are stupid to let him go’

If Melbourne doesn’t, ‘AFL should step in and fine Dees due to restraint of trade’

I just watched that a few mins ago... he is about to get the sack.
Imagine being positive about us...

That's not on, Positivity isn't allowed here!

Unless you are positively bagging the bejesus outta us.

That would be disappointing.

Trac's at his best as a mid, and we're at our best when he's in the midfield. 

If Trac was going to kick 5 every week per the Carlton game, I'd be all for it, but that's not going to happen.

I have made an official complaint re this post on the AFL website, as it implies that the AFL is supporting Barrett to undermine the Melbourne Football Club, I will keep everybody posted on the sort of reply I get, helpful knowing a couple of 'independent' journalists if I get the brush off.

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

Clarry is going to build upon his health and happiness with a HUGE preseason to start next year FIT and FURIOUS. 

He'll take this holistic wellbeing to bring out the midfield beast we all know and love in 2025 destroying oppo everywhere, and likely claiming, another, Bluey, AA and AFLCA. 

He is not going anywhere except for the gym and a few rounds of golf with the lads. 

You can take that to the bank.

I think the belief is that this years draft, offers us the best chances to get replacement midfielders. Not holding my breath of Oliver and Trac improving their value next year. Trac may struggle post injury and take time and who knows with Clarry. My post is purely about risk vs reward of offloading this year to rebuild talent.

It gives you a reference number, which I can quite happily follow up direct with a few AFL personages, easy to find emails.

I am seriously over this so called modern sports journalism

Fair call SPC. Apologies if my post came across as rude.
