Oliver Trade Rumours

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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • 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

      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.
