I can see that Max in Qld and I remember Max saying he was trying to get Clarry to go with him and not go to the states.  It seems he has done neither, am I reading to much into it?

    Perhaps. Or maybe not enough?

    I heard a few weeks back that Clarry was keen to go, havent had an update since.

    So he was keen to go before we allegedly shopped him?

    No keen to go after he was shopped.

    Source - My wife’s boyfriend - said that OLIVER will either stay at Melbourne or he won’t. 
     

    to be fair, I think from a Melbourne position we hold him for 12 more months. The main reasons for this are:

    Teams don’t get better losing A grade talent. 

    I don’t think Geelong will give us what we believe he is worth - trade wise.

    We definitely do not need to clear up our books, so his contract is not detrimental to us signing players or retaining players. 

    I think that he will return to form with a pre season leading to an increase in form and therefore increase in trade value. If in 12 months he wants to leave then we can shop him around and put him on the market as opposed to just Geelong. if he does not return to form - his value will be what is being offered to us by Geelong anyway. 

    I think that there is no real net gain for us to send off OLIVER unless we are able to get 2 x first rounders or something similar in value.
    Also if we trade OLIVER we basically go into full rebuild mode. which I’m not sure will be fun 

     

    What a bunch of scum bags, the satellite rural team and them and their bloody posh bumpkins are.

    That should get a bite.

    Why because you simply don't agree with his opinion?? 

    Put him on ignore then. Not for you to tell everyone else what they should and shouldn't do.

    Surely there is no way we trade him regardless of what he may want after our FD and president kept saying there’s no way it happens. Club must be able to have the final say.

    Everyone has a price… but yes it’s unlikely he moves because no one wants him as much as we need to recoup from him.

    Personally I'd love to see Oliver stay and get back to his best footy with us. This said I also back in our Footy Department to facilitate a trade that gets us back to our best footy and improves the balance of our list over the medium to longer term. Paul Roos always said that every player is tradable and I think the current situation re Oliver is in line with this philosophy. I think us supporters would love a redemption story but also should accept, and back in our Footy Department to make a decision re whether a fresh start might be best for both Oliver and our team.

    It’s wild. 

    136 pages in, yet this post would be be perfectly at home on top of page one.

    Only three days left of trade period, and speculation. Thank goodness. 136 pages to prove no-one has any real idea of what is going to happen.

    It's getting too late in the trade period for this deal to get done.  He'll be a Melbourne player for at least another twelve months.

    3 days is still loads of time for anything to happen. 
    This Clusterf$&@ should have been sorted out 12 months ago 

    That is the lesson to learn

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
