I can see that Max in Qld and I remember Max saying he was trying to get Clarry to go with him and not go to the states.  It seems he has done neither, am I reading to much into it?

    Perhaps. Or maybe not enough?

    I heard a few weeks back that Clarry was keen to go, havent had an update since.

    So he was keen to go before we allegedly shopped him?

    No keen to go after he was shopped.

    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 

     

    What a bunch of scum bags, the satellite rural team and them and their bloody posh bumpkins are.

    That should get a bite.

    Why because you simply don't agree with his opinion?? 

    Put him on ignore then. Not for you to tell everyone else what they should and shouldn't do.

    Surely there is no way we trade him regardless of what he may want after our FD and president kept saying there’s no way it happens. Club must be able to have the final say.

    Everyone has a price… but yes it’s unlikely he moves because no one wants him as much as we need to recoup from him.

    Personally I'd love to see Oliver stay and get back to his best footy with us. This said I also back in our Footy Department to facilitate a trade that gets us back to our best footy and improves the balance of our list over the medium to longer term. Paul Roos always said that every player is tradable and I think the current situation re Oliver is in line with this philosophy. I think us supporters would love a redemption story but also should accept, and back in our Footy Department to make a decision re whether a fresh start might be best for both Oliver and our team.

    136 pages in, yet this post would be be perfectly at home on top of page one.

    Only three days left of trade period, and speculation. Thank goodness. 136 pages to prove no-one has any real idea of what is going to happen.

    It's getting too late in the trade period for this deal to get done.  He'll be a Melbourne player for at least another twelve months.

    3 days is still loads of time for anything to happen. 
    This Clusterf$&@ should have been sorted out 12 months ago 

    That is the lesson to learn

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
