Stupid idea

Geez, you’re on a bit of a roll Bowserpower. Maybe pop a couple of nurofen and start fresh tomorrow.

What are you stalking me now or something? Didn't realize it was so unheard of to post regularly on a forum

My point my angry friend, didn't see you attacking the latter post I mentioned.

I haven't seen it. Point it out to me and I will laugh to my heart's content when midnight Wed comes and hopefully nothing has happened

How about we all relax, that way it's not just you. 

Been a tough week, I could definitely use a Nurofen personally.

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.

Same thing has happened with Bailey Smith from the Bulldogs, Ferals have had the entire year to smooth talk him and brain wash him with feral propoganda.

Clarry's camp either clearly has a problem with Pert or this is all a Cats media powerplay

Love Brad Green's stance on all this [censored] from the feral media circus, all orchestrated to the beat of their drums.

F k em all.

It’s not the “regular posting” mate. It’s the tone of the regular posts. You seem a bit angry. Whatever…

For those doubting the impact of a tweet from the Pres:

Headlines from two major papers

Demons ridicule claim on Oliver

Dees hit back at latest Oliver rumour

Excellent work Greeny

You've just been given the company line why would they tell you what was really going on?

It's almost as laughable as when another cheer squad member claimed that the cheers quad work really closely with the football department. One of the most ridiculous things I've seen on here and I've never heard such rubbish.

These people would have countless losers coming up to them asking them for goss. You're just not as important as you think you are.

Back it up a notch fella. It's a beautiful morning. Take a walk in the sun and breathe in some fresh air.

Can you please name your source, as the club monitors this site, and they will be able to follow it up to ensure they are all on the same page with the deal.😆🤣😃🙃

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

did your source tell you how it gets done? What are Geelong offering in exchange and is it reasonable?

I have the same info as you coming from within the four walls of another club. 
 

the only thing is surely Brad Green would know our intentions and if so not double down on confirming him to stay? Bnf night and recently on twitter .

Agree with everything except maybe the last 2 words.

We all hear rumours and personally I love hearing them whether they turn out correct or incorrect. It’s one of the reasons DL is good reading.

I disagree with attacking people over their rumours and hope they always continue.

Just on this one about Clarry going to the Cats, it would see several people appear as liars or fools if it happened. Lamb, Green, Richo and Goody have all said 100% he is staying. Mackie said it won’t happen too as i recall. The Cats apparently only offering a F1 and not wanting all of his salary and not budging. That if true would stop it happening.

For the above reasons I don’t see it happening, but then again footy is a funny business, yes business not game.

Keep up the rumours Picket and watch out for those snakes.

I thought you said it was a fact not an opinion? There is a subtle difference.

Don't know why you're so salty Saty. Obviously we're not going to reveal our sources.

I can't speak for Picket but my source is a very good one who has no reason to feed me BS. I thought Demonlanders would want to know that Geelong still think they're a chance. 

That's me done for the day. Enjoy the sunshine folks.

Man, this site is becoming increasingly toxic of late. 

Yep.

Some absolutely trash posting. Playing the person not the ball. 

And of course it's all the usual suspects.

Makes the site bordering unreadable.

Embarrassing really as I presume such posts are from adults. 

[Roost it far 8,627]

I’ve been told by most of my football following friends that all of Oliver, Petracca and Pickett are definitely gone. They’ve also suggested Goodwin is a dud, the club is a joke, the window was never open, the flag doesn’t count as it was in Perth and none of it matters anyway as I’ll be at the snow. One seriously continues with the line that the Doggies were the better team in 21 and hadn’t it been for a few pivotal free kicks they would have won the flag. 
 

I just reread this and realised I don’t have to leave Demonland to get these opinions, ain’t life grand!
