"Oliver has cleaned out his locker ...."

From this statement alone you already know this isn't true.

    Honestly, just be done with it and trade him. Grab a future first rounder and a 2nd round draft pick and move on. 

    Cannot put up another 12 months of Oliver distraction and noise on top of his ongoing behaviour that we still have to manage.

    But Oliver told a drunken nuffie at the BnF that he loves the club, and would never leave unless shown the door.

    This is Matthew Lloyd, not Sam McClure for once.

    This is Lloyd regurgitating McClure's articles. When Oliver requests a trade it will be on, but until then it's still where the club left it at the BnF.

    You could ask AI to write a vicious parody of Sliding Doors and it would come up with something more insightful and coherent than the column itself. 

    Something like

    "If the Dees tried to shut down the Clarry talk

    THEN

    "Me and Sam Mac ain't gonna let them!"
     

    Lets face it, thats more valuable than the rest of his bit.  I have no idea if they have inside information or not. But that is EXACTLY what they are banking on. We don't know that they don't know either. 

    Clarry might want to leave, he might not, who bloody knows on this forum.  Only thing I *believe* we can be sure of is that Clarry's mum is mad that people think that his home town is Shepparton, and that he is currently there!

    Read through the thread, I'm not a parrot and I'm not in the mood to repeat myself over and over again.  You're capable of scrolling and reading my responses to the numerous times I've been asked that.

    Grab a future first rounder and a 2nd round draft pick and clean air and move on. Oliver takes a pay cut to whatever Cats want to pony up.

    Hopefully Oliver continues to address his non football issues and can get back to somewhere near his best. Hopefully.

    Yes I do.  I don't believe absolutely everything reported in the media, but I find the head in the sand approach from many of our supporters currently quite strange. 

    hey... don't go to the US.  They have aliens that eat cats, dogs and ducks. Oh, and their politicians control the weather

    FACT DUDE!

    I am starting to get sick of these rumours.

    I am backing in what our interim President Brad Green has said.

    Clayton Oliver is contracted and will be staying.

    It is the CEO Gary Pert that needs to be sacked for all of this.

    I would personally clean out my locker at the end of the season, just to come back to a nice, clean one for the start of preseason

    Could this just be a simple misunderstanding?

    lol

    I've been reading the thread on and off, I must have missed the examples you're talking about.

    That being said a lot of people mistake a situation changing for a journo getting it wrong. For example the Petracca story which was very real and Morris was spot on despite the club eventually holding Petracca to contract.

    I would say Sam Mclure has a much worse strike rate than Morris. An obvious example being his West Coast/Reid call. So I take his reporting with a massive grain of salt but have generally found Morris to be pretty reliable even if he hedges his bets a bit.

    If Oliver desperately wanted out, he might want to start by requesting a trade

    Matthew Lloyd has been seen in the changerooms of the MFC, soon to be announced as MFC new assistant coach.

    So we have 5 more days of the media re-circulating the Oliver rumours

    Then on Thursday they will report how we are a shambles and handled this so poorly.

    Meanwhile the club is literally doing nothing aside from say he is going nowhere

    I still think we’re holding him unless the Cats and his management can clear us of his salary and offer us 2 decent picks. It’s peanuts for him but this appears the current reality.

    Could be.  But if Clarry requested a trade, that changes the dynamic and he would get to the Cats I believe

    I suspect Connor Sports would be putting pressure on the Cats to agree to above.

    Breaking News - Harry Sharp cleaning out his locker at the Lions

    He wanted to leave so he - requested a trade

    And then got traded

    Meanwhile Oliver is desperate to leave the rabble that is the Demons. Maybe he can't find the 'request a trade' form?

    If it's true, then his manager would be monitoring any trade discussions between us and the Cats. No point in making his request public until both parties are close to reaching an agreement. It would be embarrassing for Oliver if he declares he wants out, and a trade couldn't be finalised.

    They don't have two decent picks to offer. This years 1st Rounder will go to the Dogs for Smith, and a Future 1st will likely be a pick in the teens, an Future 2nd will likely be a pick in the 30s. 

    There is no package of picks in their possession that will be sufficient.

    We're going to end up getting nothing of value for him. At one time you could have got 3 first rounders as a starting point.

    Heads have to roll.

    That is what the Geelong compliant media are pushing for.

    This is true but if a player is truely desperate to leave as has been reported then he can put us in a terrible spot by requesting a trade to the Cats

    Publicly stating he wants to leave, will make it very hard for us to keep him.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
