    200k goes no where near keeping eyes on someone full-time. Start at $1,000,000 and work up from there.

    Where i used to work, i used to get about 40 g to keep an eye on everybody, Sometimes it could be a problem.

    If Oliver is indeed trying to force Melbourne's hand, I just hope the club stands firm.

    Geelong have nothing to offer in terms of trading or draft picks which would come anywhere near Oliver's value as a player.

    If he then refused to play for us, he would be in breach of contract, potentially leading to a fine and/or non-payment of his salary. That would be more of a legal and financial nightmare for Oliver than for the club.

    The AFL really ought to be investigating Geelong for such a blatant attempt to poach a contracted player from another club.

     

    They did it to Dangerfield and Ablett Jnr for a start.

    Improve their professionalism or improve as footballers? McAdam will be 30 next year, so I don't see any marked improvement as a footballer. And maybe Fullarton isn't what we hoped he'd be.

    That is a myth, age is not a concern, it is the players bodies that let them down.

    The average age of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League is early 30s takes that long to reach their peak.

    Hypothetically if Geelong said they were willing to trade us SDK, do we still say no?

    Clarry will never be the player he once was due to his inability to behave and put it the effort to get his mind and body right

    I also think that that statement is an insult to Clarry and i'm calling you out for that.... "get his mind right"

    You are seriously not trying to compare the fitness levels of an AFL football with a Premier League goalkeeper?

    Fullarton and McAdam will have been told in no uncertain terms where they need to improve, so it will be like having 2 new players and whoever else we sign.

    Geelong are starting to looking like systematic home-wreckers. You'd probably find their profile on a sugar baby website.

    I really look forward to the day they get audited.

    What irks me is that after we say we're not trading him, and Geelong say "we respect Melbourne's position", talks between him, his manager, and Geelong have clearly still continued. 

    Is this all just preparation for next years trade period? Make his position at the club untenable so that they can come in with low ball offers? It also serves a secondary purpose where it potentially makes him less likely to provide us with his absolute best, or at the very least puts his head in a different space.

    I swear they have done this with lots of other players as well, they've become the Barcelona of the AFL where they swoop in and take the best the league has to offer.

    No it is the age bit,  you can improve both fitness and skill level regardless of age, if your body allows you to. 

    I have asked a couple of players about the end of season review they get, areas of improvement is blunt and to the point, up to the player to implement.

    Obviously with Clarry, this was one of issues at the start of last season.

    I can't remember which topic I posted this in, but I lodged an integrity complaint with the AFL about the condoning ie allowing Damian Barrett to undermine the club on their website, including calling Tim Lamb a liar.

    I got a reference number but as yet I have not received a reply, so I followed it up with an email to Andrew Dillon. Going to give him a couple of days before I follow up again.

    If anyone else feels strongly enough about the treatment the club is receiving on the website from so called journalists, his email is easy

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
