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.

    I hope the club makes a complaint to the AFL and threatens to sue the Age for this rubbish , enough is enough.

    looks like she's slightly changed comment to

    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!

    Similar to just claiming something as a ‘lie’, yeah?

    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].

    • 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.
