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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
