You’d only take 2 x top 10 picks or no deal. 

I think what we would want, and what other sides are prepared to pay may be too far apart

    Then keep him and back him in to get back to his best.

    We will be paying I reckon maybe a third of his wage if he moves…

    And why would we accept a trade if we don’t clear his entire salary off the book?

    Why would we do it now. It was on 12 months ago. We’d struggle to get a first round pick for him now.

    Maybe because it's no coincidence that soon as Petracca has raised issues with the club we now find ourselves that Clarry may be on the trade table..

    If the right offer is there then do the trade.

    If he leaves we will absolutely be paying part of his salary, that’s a given and one of the reasons we need 2 x top 10 picks for him

    Being interested and being able to do a trade is not the same thing. Pies are very interested in Trac.

    Yes very true.

    Hmmm … I’d rather a fit and firing Oliver over Trac tbh. 

    If Oliver has done enough to prove his turned a new page, vs Tracs alleged rogue antics. Oliver everyday of the week.

    How does Clarry feel about this? I doubt he would want to leave. 
    Two first rounders seems well under unless they’re firmly within the top 10. 
     

    If we trade Clarry we are admitting that we are rebuilding. Window will be firmly shut. 

    Picks received plus maybe another to get Harley?

    Or we pick up 3 early players in the draft. Could really change the makeup of the side.

    Let me say very clearly that the Dees are not shopping Clayton, but they have been asked if 2 first rounders would get it done, and I believe it wasn’t totally shut down / dismissed. 
     

    Thanks for the scoop @goodwindees. 

    Any notion on what Clarry’s preference (as in go or stay) might be?

    It makes sense from Adelaide’s pov to just have a crack and offer pick 4 and future first they have rankine Dawson Fogarty thilthorpe and a host of others in that similar age bracket to Oliver , they need a ball winner to go with their class. Pick 3 last yr was dursma who hasn’t done much this year

    It would be the biggest mistake to trade Clarry in order to appease Trac, when we all know Trac won’t stop looking for a “brand management” move.

    If we trade Clarry it’s because we have decided our window is shut and we are trying to capitalize on the high value players we have. Or because something amazing has fallen into our lap and we need the picks to make it happen.

    I believe Clayton definitely wants to stay, and I believe he will. It’s just that clubs realise that Dees want to change the way they play, and they’re just probing to see what the situation is with Clayton & CP.

    Let’s be clear, there’s many, many more discussions had than there are trades done.

    If we are looking to change then it’s not the worst idea. I don’t think we can continue to play JV, Trac and Oliver in the same team. JV is the player you’d keep for leadership and standards. The other 2 can get you 4-5 round picks over the next 2 years and bloody good ones too.

    Clarry has put in a HUGE amount of work and has categorically bought into the club. His commitment to change, self-improvement and betterment is absolutely genuine. 
     

    Clarry has had a huge amount of resources expended on him, which has been seen as a mutual commitment from both club and player alike. 
     

    I can understand that players are regularly discussed, but I really hope this hasn’t (doesn’t) damage the relationship and trust that has improved tenfold, between Oliver and the club.

    I'm not sure of the exact wording, but I think an unsubstantiated trade rumours are different than an unsubstantiated rumour about personal health, illegal behviour, or other type of statement that could be considered libel.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
