Oliver Trade Rumours


Oxdee

Recommended Posts

How do these gutter journalists get away with saying things like it’s his dream to play with Geelong?

When has he ever said that?

How they continuously get away with making things up?

Clayton Oliver has started his own pre-season early, as the 27-year-old clings on to hope that Melbourne will trade him to Geelong before next Wednesday’s deadline.

The four-time Melbourne best and fairest has been spotted several times in his home town of Shepparton this week, training weights and running.

A source at Geelong, who wasn’t willing to speak publicly given that Oliver still has six years of his contract still to run at Melbourne, said the star midfielder was willing to take a pay cut if it helped get a deal across the line.
....But Melbourne’s strong stance has not dampened the appetite of Oliver, who remains in contact with the Cats.

A pay cut may help the Demons reconsider a trade, but two club sources remained staunch when contacted by this masthead on Thursday. They said a deal to move Oliver to the Cats would not be entertained.

Oliver is contracted until the end of 2030 at an average of $1.3 million per season.

While all three parties – Melbourne, Geelong and Oliver’s management – have privately confirmed that the Cats’ future first-round pick in next year’s national draft had been initially raised, they say there is yet to be a meaningful trade offer beyond that.

Whats telling is in the comments section of the Facebook post of the article, one comment in particular from Michelle Oliver, Clarry’s mum.

Well it’d be telling if she said anything relevant about whether he wants to stay or not.

Michelle Oliver

No serious, why would we sue then?

I know there’s no law for publishing lies but there should be.

Of course we have no grounds, but it sucks that they they can say whatever untruths they like with zero consequences Dazzle.

‘Oliver clings to hope he might still be traded’

Is there even one person on this site that think he is desperately trying to leave?

Any chance these [censored] can be held accountable??

It’s a joke, it’s not a real quote. I’ll change the quotation marks. But it is a real summary of Geelong’s actions in this saga.

A source believed to be one of Clayton's parents who wishes to remain anonymous due to her personal involvement with her son has called out McClure for being full of 💩

I’ll say it again. At this stage a trade is more likely than not. 

The supporters on this forum have their heads in the sand. 

Oliver doesn’t want to play for Melbourne and is trying to find any chance to leave. Even take a pay cut. 
 

Thanks Sam Mc

Love how you state things as fact when you have no idea like the rest of us

And to repeat my take on it fwiw, I reckon Geelong let Oliver's visit become public knowledge in order to embarrass Melbourne. Consequently MFC could have been seen as having to rid itself of a "cultural issue" whatever the price, the emphasis being "whatever the price" because they knew they had nothing to match his true value.

Sneaky as, and all the heat comes back on Melbourne as a basket case while Geelong are seen as squeaky clean.

I think I might just go watch the 2021 prelim now as my compensation.

That is always fun!

Ah yeah, nothing like a good old straw man to really prove a point. 
 

Well done, a resounding showing of critical thinking.

What I simply don't understand is why Geelong? Up there with the least likely to be able to facilitate a fair trade.

If we really want him gone shouldn't we be dealing with a club that could actually make it happen.

Bizarre really.

Because Mackie is happy to waste everyone’s time, thinks he’s smarter than everyone else & thinks he can secure himself a bargain. The new Dodoro.

Incorrect sir,  no straw man here, my comments have complete relevance to the argument.

Oliver's own mother refuted the claims .

This a forum discussion not a published article.

Well done to you for clever derogatory tone as well, very intelligent indeed.

I think it's passed that point honestly.  

The Age have defaced the Melbourne Demons brand by running this disgusting smear campaign re: Oliver. Hopefully our legal team sends them an invoice for cost of all this slander. It's disgraceful.

What are you genuinely talking about? 
 

You’ve gone from stating that the ‘club’ should bring a legal claim against The Age, for ‘lies’, proceeding to ask for a ‘quote’, and now your stating that ‘this is a forum discussion not a published article’, yet your first point is directed at an article published by The Age. 
 

Honestly, it’s beyond nonsensical.

You are the archetypal Holier than though poster and not worth another thought.

If there’s any truth to the rumour that he’s open to a pay cut if it facilitates a trade, that can only mean one of two things:

1. His manager has to have a long talk to him about why that’s insane. He deserves, and needs, every dollar we’ve promised him. He is not someone who should be reckless with his earnings right now. 

2. Geelong is offering to make him a Cotton On ambassador or some other dodgy [censored].

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
