"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

    Breaking news!

    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.

    • 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.
