The Age says that on his current contract Oliver would be easily the highest-paid player at Geelong. So that’s ahead of Jeremy Cameron and Patrick Dangerfield.  It says Geelong has rarely overpaid for even the top-end players they have had. Seems like they’re far better money and player managers than we are.

Well they do have $1 farms and all that sweet Cotton On cash not coming out of the salary cap.

    But they're also helped by the fact that houses cost less in Geelong/surf coast so the players are ok will bring paid slightly less. Let alone the under the table deals...

    Geelong are cheats, and one day one of these deals will go sour and all will be revealed. Hopefully big enough that the AFL can't cover it up.

    Or that we’ve given up on that idea and willing to sell for way less than Clarry is worth?

    A player with ongoing personal/behavioural issues who has been average at best for the last 18 months and who's on a massive contract until he's 33.

    None of that is going to help his worth.

    The other question in all this that hasn't been brought up anywhere, would Oliver be prepared to take a pay cut to help this go through?

    Can you expand rather than just posting the same thing. 

    Just like Trac, he has a massive contract, so Melbourne still have the final call.

    Hi Daz & Brendan. I can’t say too much except that right now, I think a deal gets done. 
    When I announced this a month ago, I didn’t think it was possible because I couldn’t see Dees getting fair value from Cats. 
    They’ll certainly have their work cut out taking on Bailey, Claz & Stengle. 
    The stories I could tell re Bailey. 

    Cheers GD's 👏

    On a side note, do you think we'll target any particular name to fill in some midfield depth?

    Thanks @goodwindees - no worries if you can’t say but does that mean you now think we can get fair value from the Cats?

    No, not at all. The bargaining powers have changed significantly, and a month ago, Claz didn’t want to leave.

    I'm sure the Cats' broom is large enough to sweep things under the rug, and the Geelong Advertiser isn't going to lag on one of their boys.

    Thanks for the info as always 

    From the outside this seems more and more like a huge [censored] up by the club, especially if clubs were asking if two first rounders would get it done only a month ago…

    And now we made him want to leave, and have gone from having clubs offer 2 first round picks (according to you a month ago), to Geelong offering us a bag of stale chips instead.

    Look who's back from trolling the AFLW thread with nasty little misogynist pot shots after their uplifting win tonight!

    Why? What if the teams get better? Who knows what the future holds. Nobody saw ‘21 coming. Sometimes you’ve got to make moves to improve.

    True.

    Lions were considered garbage earlier in the year.

    Pies were a certainty for finals.

    Carlton were looking top 2 and Swans couldn’t be beaten.

    Tigers getting the wooden spoon would have seemed impossible.

    Hawks winning a final, no way.

    Yes, sometimes difficult moves create change for the better.

    I think it’s simple. Clarry was on a strict sober protocol - one of the conditions set forth last year including medical appointments. He failed both of those two and basically MFC have no leg to stand on as it was his last warning.

    Its sad, but it’s the only move we had left. 
     

    It also shows unfortunately that Clarry needs to be monitored / looked after 365 days of the year. It took one opportunity for him to slip up and h grabbed it with both hands (allegedly). At the worst - I think his footy career will wither away wherever he ends up. Best case, his a shadow of his former self. 
     

     

    The thing that bugs me about this is the behaviour from the club has come across as incredibly indecisive and shambolic. Either the club wasn't fully aligned on the standards they set themselves and have fallen apart the moment they were tested. Or we're doing some bizarre gambit where 'we're thinking of trading him but maybe not, let's have a meeting to work it out'.

    Both scenarios just makes the club look terrible. People might argue that definitively putting Oliver on the trade table would have gotten us a worse deal, but I can't imagine the difference would have been much worse than what we'll end up getting back from Geelong. Reputation matters. We've already scared away Houston this year and I doubt any decent player will be wanting to join us for a while.

    Pretty pathetic from Clayton. Very childish, if that is him. At least Christian kept quiet.

    The MFC has bent over backwards for this [censored].

    He is a 27yo that needs 24/7 baby sitting. One day he might turn into a grown up.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
