Is it too late to amicably and mutually end his contract and allow him to move as he free agent? 

Geelong would love it because they wouldn't have to give up anything, and based on the compensation for Josh Battle we would be awarded more draft picks than Tasmania.

This would be a decent outcome for all 3 parties.

    That's not how free agency works. You can't just kill a contract because the compo will be better than the trade.

    We're a joke if we are prepared to be paying over half a million bucks for a bloke to play in Geeling every year till 2030. Not going to happen surely.

    The first thing that needs to be covered off in any potential deal is to get rid of the salary. It'll be one thing to front the members and explain how our player management has seen the departure of popular players, but to also expect members to cop the idea that we'll be paying for the privilege of seeing them play somewhere else is a bridge too far.

    So we are happy to take back a future 1st and 2nd then?

    No harm in asking about SDK who clearly is not in the good books at Geelong

     

    You don't sell a late model Ferrari for 5K on eBay. Even if it was in an accident and needs repairs.
    We need to be properly compensated.
    A future 1st (probably pick 14 to 18) is an insult. If he were a free agent this year we would most likely get pick 6 in compensation. That's a starting point. If Geelong want him they need to get busy. We shouldn't accept anything less than 2 early first rounders for arguably the greatest ever Demon.

    Let's hope Geelong don't ask for a roadworthy.

    My own personal view (not knowing what disruption, if any, this player actually causes behind the scenes for our club) is no, we shouldn't accept that deal regardless of the full salary being paid. I'd rather spend a season letting him play the role he is best at and hopefully dominating so that worst case if he still wants to go in 12 months we might actually have some interested parties with some currency.

    The idea of trading an asset when it is at it's lowest value just makes no sense.

    Well put.  Clarry even said in that podcast last week, "the media are full of [censored]".  Just like his mum did last night on Facebook.

    "The media are full of [censored]" could refer to anything. He could be talking about his reported off-field indiscretions, missed appointments, meetings with Geelong officials and players, etc. Why didn't he just come out and say which media reports were incorrect?

    We all know the reason why he didn't.

    Therefore you’re equal to any Joe Blow that supports this footy club. Expecting senior management officials to treat you any different is just an imagination in your mind.

    No, I'm not.  But then neither are the board.  They're volunteer roles.

    If Clarrie goes this will all be on him

    We haven't mistreated him and we've been extremely patient 

    And we've given the bloke any number of chances to mend his ways

    Sometimes people just go rogue and you have to part company

    It's really nothing personal unless you want to hang on to how great a player he has been.  And that's hard to let go of

    I hope he stays and gets his best footy back but if not, I wish him well

    Yeah, right, that's why your engagement with my posts have exploded in the last 24 hours.

    Interesting you advise someone else here not to presume things when you presumed what my level of involvement is in the club.  How very hypocritical.

    1) That’s irrelevant to the point made by both myself and the OP that was quoted. 
     

    2) I’m surprised you didn’t find a way to also throw Maynard in there.

     

    But don’t worry mate, victim status and the shortcomings of the MFC will always be welcomed by the majority of those on Demonland. You’ll get your likes.

    I don't believe the club will allow him to be traded though.

    Ok, in my opinion, he hadn't been mistreated

    Oliver is under contract.  You just don’t sign a contract and decide the fresh air & farm life is appealing.  If there’s no great offer in a trade, then enforce the NOT TO BE TRADED message.
     

    The media loves the drama and hearsay.

    So we have 122 pages on Clarry leaving based mainly on info by media people at 3AW ..even Tom Morris had dropped off. I’m tipping next Thursday the posting on this will drop significantly..

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
