My take is that external review and some player discontent combined with doubts whether Clarry will get back to his best and/or be value for money, means that we are open to option of moving him on.

 

Stumbling block is that we cannot afford to give him away for nothing. Our current stance with Cats is to come back with a deal that is mutually beneficial and that we can sell (to members and public) or there will be no trade.

 

Clarry is my all time favourite player, but there is little doubt that his behaviour and how the club has dealt with it has been a contributor to our lack of a second premiership. You need most things going right to win a premiership and this has definitely been going wrong.

 

FWIW I think that Clarry will be all Australian again, but whether it's in 2 years or 4 years I'm not sure. He needs to grow up and the jolt of a new club may help. Hogan is a great example of this. We need him based on current form, but he would not have been any help for the previous 4 years. 

 

 

I think that is being a bit harsh on a kid as young as him and i also understand its a cut throat business.

That said people take time and space differently to get  back from personal disruption and the glare of the most self indulgent group of individuals god put breath into.

Oh please..

He's not a kid mate, he's a 27 year old grown adult. Time to start acting like one for once in his life.

I’m hoping this is a case of geelong not giving up and not Pert STILL shopping him around after everyone confirmed on Friday night he’s not leaving

Wishful thinking. We still have him advertised on Gumtree under used sporting goods. Only the one bid though.

If Oliver starts next season with a clear mind and a fit body, the sky is again the limit for him and the team.

Same goes for Petracca.

So after the trade and draft periods, we could be looking a lot stronger than a disastrous 2024 might suggest.

Only big loss from our best 22 so far is ANB, whose running and tackling will be missed.

What Clarrie needs right now is total support from everyone at the club to get back to his best.

Who would know whether Melbourne want Oliver or not? They don’t seem to know themselves. 

From Peter Ryan's article in The Age. Fantastic summary of our position.

You’re kidding, right?

Absolutely not, have you been watching us play? Midfield has gotten much worse over the past few years and our gamestyle with a bunch of inside mids doesn't hold up in the modern game.

I can’t differentiate sarcasm & seriousness anymore on this site.

This a good enough reason for Green to be ridiculed already?

Please tell me you’re kidding 

Not speaking for Adam but one of the most beautiful things about this place is the talent in the sarcasm area.
