Oliver Trade Rumours

Clarry has got plenty of motivation to get back to his best at this point. If I were him I'd be playing Kane Cornes' greatest worst hits on loop during all my training sessions.

I think this is just hack juice from McClure.

It's all just he said she said.

Agree. McClure is a piece of 💩💩💩💩

    95% of the media are clowns. They throw all sorts of things out there without care in the hope they are first if it ever turns out to be true.

    Listen to what the best offer is out there.

    If it's two first rounders including a top 10 pick this year then we'd have to seriously consider it.

    This whole Oliver situation in itself is becoming a distraction for the club and has been for the last two years.

    It's not going away anytime soon, let's see what offers are out there.

    I'll stick by my influential mail of my source at Geelong, that says they are seriously into him!

    If 1% of this was true, I'd be diappointed. Clayton has put the club into the media headlines all last summer, he had a terrible season, his lack of pre season caught up with him and it showed. 

    Gee the best and fairest night will be interetsing.

    Every club would love to have him.  Lots of "in theory" and hypotheticals going on here.  Would it be good for us? Maybe.  Would it be good for him? Maybe.

    What is certain is that I can't see Melbourne letting him go while the window is open. We have pick 5 this year and blooded a bunch of kids last season. 

    Let's not get dragged into Sam McLures BoM-level of predictions. Go Dees.

    They may well be into him but he's not leaving for anything less than his quality in either picks or a player and picks as payment. Cats simply can't get it done.

    Doesn't really bother me IF other clubs are into Clarry. They'd be mad not to. 

    Geelong will take Bailey, and simply don't have anything to give us. Sometimes I wander past the Ferrari showroom and stick my face to the window and point. Doesn't mean diddly squat. 

    FWIW Geelong can shove their interest right up the back entrance of their $340m funded stadium.

    Anyhoo, all the interest in Clarry, generally, simply means other clubs what our club would know - that he has immense value and WILL return to his best next year. Otherwise they wouldn't be asking.

    We love Clarry and Clarry loves us, and the journos pushing this garbage are gutter rats. Fugazi.

    Ignore.

    I hope Clarry doesn't go however to say Geelong doesn't have anything to give us is incorrect. There are a number of players including SDK (who I've read is disgruntled), Max Holmes, etc, who I'm sure we would look at.

    Geelong don’t have the collateral to obtain Oliver, so they can like all they want and be in his ear as much as they like

    I take your point. Sorry, I meant draft picks, but yeah they obviously have a few players we'd gladly take off their hands, if realistic. Are SDK and Max BOTH looking for a trade? To us? Because that's the bare minimum I think/hope we'd consider. It's just my humble opinion, I love Clarry and know he will return to his best next year, but I don't think SDK for him is a win for us at all. That's the Cats winning a trade, again. Which they somehow manage to do often. We hold firm. Clarry is a 3 x All Australian, 4 x B&F. Neither Sam, nor SDK, has even one such title. 

    And realistically, I don't believe the Cats would hand them both over, so I don't believe there is a realistic deal there, which is what I was alluding to in my earlier post.

    Sam DeKoning plus would be a good start.

    Would you do Shannon Neale and Sam DeKoning?

    Forward back up ruck and key back.

    I'm of the view if we traded Clazz we may as well blow it up

    Wtf do Jeelong have to offer anyway besides a F1

    Oliver should be thanking Melbourne and Max for all the c r a p he has put The team through and the support he has been provided! 
    Great footballer, not sure of his other capabilities!


    Maybe Geelong give us a future first rounder as the showcase pick but we pay a portion of his salary.

    Geelong flat out refuse to pay overs for players in terms of wage and draft pick unless their Jeremy Cameron. Therefore I can't fathom how we won't be on the hook for some of Clarry's salary.

    If this happens, it signals to me that we're no longer in the window and/or they simply need to rid themselves of the player

    i love that every article maclure writes about oliver includes the caveat that 'melbourne are adamant he's not up for trade'

    who is pushing for the trade, i wonder?

    all of maclure's commentary seems to be coming from the oliver camp

    Window is firmly and truly shut if Clarry is traded. 

    Wonder how the likes of Max and Jack who have re-committed feel about spending the remainder of their careers without a flag chance.

    I would love someone to ask Kane point blank why exactly we should move heaven and earth to get him off our books. There have been a lot of implications made but right now at this point I want to hear his case. The people he is chatting with on these shows just take those implications and run with the narrative. 

    My case right now is that I don't want to die wondering and give him the full pre season he deserves. There will be plenty of other years for the media to have a crack at this again, they're not gonna sell any less papers, subscriptions or clicks this year I promise.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      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.
