I don't believe the club will allow him to be traded though.

Ok, in my opinion, he hadn't been mistreated

[spirit of norm smith 15,576]

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.

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.

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..

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

Apparently, he's 'cleaned out his locker'

[Macca 16,768]

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.

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.

I'll try my very best not to contribute any more then.

Oh, darn it!  I just did!

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.

Hit me up if you want me to spread a rumour that Clarry also has OCD, I'll add it to the one about Lloydy coaching us next year 👍

Thank you.

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.

No anger from my end lol. Don't just presume things just future reference also.

Hahahahahah! Pulled me up on what? I've already forgotten what you even said, that's how irrelevant it was to me

What a hero... lunchbox variety!

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

On Insta, he's playing golf Echuca and training with Marty Hore in Gunbower.
Hell of a commute to have cleaned out his locker!
