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?

    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.

    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.

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.
