"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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
