Can you answer my question about what Geelong offers us in return? 

Also why would Goody heap praise on Clarry and say he will be with us next year, if the club was planning to trade him?

I think it's highly likely Oliver is with us next year but even if he wasn't, what else would Goody say

He could say he’s having surgery and we are looking forward to getting him fit.
He didn’t need to go on about how proud the club is of the progress Clarry made and how happy and determined he is to get to his best. 
Goody isn’t exactly the smoothest media performer, so if it wasn’t true I think we would be able to see right thru it. But he sounded very very genuine to me. 
 

Just as I thought he was clear that there are issues to be resolved with Trac. Never lied or denied it.

A couple of years ago a Carlton supporter told me Clarry would be a Blue, all done.

Often a supporter hears their club is interested in a player and jumps to conclusions.

Not knocking you but time will tell. If your mate is correct there will be a lot of egg on Goody’s face.

Wrong assumption. Club might not want to trade him, but he is being Hunted by Cats and.. Aints

Exactly how I saw the interview too. I’d be stunned if Clarry left this trade window.

So if the club doesn’t want to trade him, then the whole thing is moot as he has years to run on his deal. 

And of course he’s being hunted. He’s a star player. Doesn’t mean anything.

But it will have been Goodwin's decision.  How do you have egg on your face when you're in control ?  He simply would say the club and Oliver came to a mutual decision.

Pick 4 and 5 (Josh battle compo) would be a much more enticing proposition for the club. The Saints would have to be bonkers to do it though, but then again, maybe they think they're one ready made superstar away from putting it all together. Maybe Ross Lyon wants to get back into the finals asap. Stranger things have happened!

Why would the club spend a whole season rehabbing Clarry, and playing him injured, only for his trade value to diminish and then trade him?

Would it not have been wiser to cut our losses last year when his value was higher, and we were trying desperately to get more picks to make a trade with WCE for pick 1?

Geelong were keen last year too and had a better draft hand than they do this year. 
It would be poor list management would it not?

Your post was good until the last line.

We've made list management error after list management error for a few years now, Jaded.

Who's copping more grief right now?  MFC or Raygun?  The pile on is over the top in both cases.

Difference being Raygun is going to profit $$$ from it massively

Unquestionably? Why then are there 6 midfielders listed above him in the Dland "player of the year"?

A demonland poll is probably not the fairest assessment of clarry diem this year given some of the nonsense written about him

At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
