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.

    Agreed. Time for this club to show some stones.

    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..

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
