Oliver Trade Rumours

Not sure if it's been said already but once a club shops a player around, then the club has to expect the player to look for greener pastures

Just put yourself in Oliver's shoes ... what would you do if there was an opportunity elsewhere?

    "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.

    You need to listen to the podcast.  In it he talks about what he's looking forward to in 2025, ie running around with his Melbourne teammates, he talks about what he loves about the Melbourne culture, etc.  You should listen to it.

    well done, both of you agree he hasn't been mistreated :)

    But the media are intimating that we have treated him poorly

    But I can't see any evidence of mistreatment

    What we can all see is the player going rogue ... that is indisputable

    Matthew Lloyd saw him cleaning out his closet and he saw one of the babies and the baby looked at him.

    We had a Ferrari; it’s since been treated like a lawnmower. 

    The trouble with our Ferrari is that it keeps blowing its gaskets.

    We need to get its engine running smoothly again.

    I don’t disagree mate, but people holding onto the idea that the current Oliver is worth what he was 12 months ago on the market is farcical.

    This is my point about the media BS.

    That really is a ridiculous quote. It looks like it’s made up to me. You could also say that a lot of people believe in aliens - doesn’t necessarily make it true.

    I think it depends how much Oliver blames his behaviour on the club shopping him around last year. If he blames himself, then he could decide to work hard and regain respect

    But none of us really know what happened so who knows

    Sounds like a metaphor to me, I.e. he's checked out and doesn't want to come back.

    But you also don’t trade him out for nothing but a hand shake either, his value is rock bottom right now, even if we go through this again next year we could still get the same deal then and most likely much better if he is actually committed to getting his body right

    Just don't take the media seriously then.  Ignore them if it's going to bother you

    You'll never beat them

    But there are some truths and lies and embellishment coming from the media

    How do you sort that out?  A nose for BS?  That can help but it's tricky

    Take the news that Clarrie might take a pay cut ... my immediate thought was that if he definitely wants out, then that could be true

    But who wants to give up hundreds of 1000's per season?

    Then there's Joe Daniher who has just turned his back on $1Million

    So you never know

    Once again, I don’t overly disagree with this. Of course there’s a balance, but it also has to consider what a willing club would pay towards his contract (either in full, or as a percentage), as well as just how desperate are the MFC to get Oliver out. 
     

    It’s unfortunately not a clear cut scenario, with a multitude of issues and concerns at play.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
