100% agree. With that being the case, why are posters on here obsessed with potting the media, as if it's totally fabricated. You've even got a poster writing a complaint to the AFL, when they have no idea of what is accurate and what is not.

Supporters should be more upset with how the club have handled this rather than how the media have reported it.

Should i engage in negative supposition, err no

    How do you know that? The club could easily have told Oliver, his management and the Geelong FC that he will be held to his contract, and there is no story. They clearly didn't, otherwise Oliver wouldn't have met with Geelong players.

    To say it's media driven is nonsense. 

    The meeting, from my reading, was organised by his manager. His motivation would have been money in his (the manager's) pocket. The Cats would be an easy sell: your own hectare or ten of land (in your parents' name), new cars courtesy of [dealer's name withheld] motors for all family members, sensational training facility a short drive from your farm, 40k lunatic fans cheering for you in our stadium every second week etc. As I've reported, I know how the club operates. I know the legacy that Frank has left.

    FWIW - the following is a response from the club to an email i sent last week to Brad Green.

     

    Thank you for your email.

    We recognise that this has been a challenging time, and we truly appreciate the support of all our members.

    As a club, we are continually seeking ways to improve, and your feedback plays a vital role in that process.

    External experts have been engaged as part of both the Board and Football Department reviews. As previously communicated, the ambition of both review processes is to strive for excellence and to ensure, that as our game demands, we evolve to achieve sustained success.

    The reviews of both the AFL program and the Board will be completed in October and the priorities identified will be communicated to members. 

     

    In relation to the AFL Trade Period, we encourage you to only listen to direct club sources for your information. AFL List Manager Tim Lamb addressed media on Monday and made it abundantly clear that Clayton won't be going anywhere. You can have a watch of his interview here.

     

    In addition, during his address at Friday night's AFL Best and Fairest, President Brad Green reinforced his excitement of seeing Clayton as part of our midfield in 2025. This speech can be viewed here.

     

    With an increase in speculation and rumour, we know this time of year can be unsettling for our members and supporters. We encourage you to keep an eye on our club website for official updates.

     

    We thank you again for reaching out to share your feedback. We truly value your thoughts and will be sure to relay them to the appropriate team.

    Interesting that he doesn't refer to Petracca.

     

    FWIW, if Trac was really interested in going to Collingwood, he has lost me. How any Melbourne player could contemplate standing in a circle singing their song with that  POS Maynard is beyond my comprehension. If he was really contemplating it, I would let him go to Carlton for de Koning and McKay.

    Yeah, of course he doesn't want to leave

    He's getting paid $10Million (guaranteed) over the next 6 years and who would walk away from that sort of money? 

    And it's quite obvious that no other club would pay him that amount of money so of course he wants to stay

    I'm wondering if there are clauses in his contract that can lead to a contract default.  If not, those clauses should exist

     

    You could say he wakes up everyday 'feeling' a million bucks!

    Yep, like what is often said, follow the money

    But what makes this situation so difficult is that both Petracca & Oliver are revered figures, premiership heroes and match winners.  Top players

    We need to see all that again because after all, we are paying for it

    In brutal terms, a return on investment is expected

    This is from someone that attended the B & F. Some want to hear this, some don’t. No biggie. The below was sent to me. 

    I said “Please Clarrie, tell me you’re not leaving us.” He just smiled. I was drunk as it was but then the anger kicked in. I said, “This is messed up. Why are you doing this?!” He said, “Remember what I’ve told you before? The only way I’d leave the club is if they booted me out, otherwise I’m not going anywhere. That still stands and always will.”
     I said, “If Pert or whoever dares to offload you, I’ll burn down the MCG.”
    He said, “Don’t believe everything you read.” 

    Awesome - a player putting up with a drunk fan

    Sounds legit

    Any mythical trade to geelong would not have resulted a single dollar more to the Manager.

    Hello, Sam McMorris Barrett here, head AFL writer for yahoo sports

    From my article today:

    'It is expected that Harley Reid will stay at West Coast in the immediate future. However, earlier this year Reid admitted his 19th birthday was the worst he's ever had due to him being away from his family in Victoria'.

    Sources tell me Reid wants out of the Eagles and wants to come home to mummy.

    My sources suggest that in an ironic twist, the Dees, who lost the Unicorn to the the world's most boring city and his mummy, is Harley's preferred destination.

    You know they won't. Got to keep the Cats at the top somehow.


    That [censored] McClueless was still crapping on about the door still not being shut with Clarry and Geelong on 3AW tonight. I didn’t wait to listen to his show as I was feeling ill as it was. Maybe someone here heard the rest?

    I remember my 19th Birthday clearly. I had to count how many individual grains of rice there were in a full bucket. Nothing wrong with boring.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
