It looks like there's no interest in Oliver

Of course there isnt.

Average year from a midfielder earning ridiculous amount of money on a huge contract.

On top of no brownlow votes for the year, 10 votes in the coaches award this year which is incredibly poor and 7th in the best and fairest all of this whilst just missing the one game.

There isnt a club out there that would be willing at all to take on his contract but his sub par form.

    I thought clarry did spike in form slightly towards the end of the year! Have to hope that a new coach and system, a full pre season maybe a much better 2026!

    It's sad we have to pay over a million a year for that

    Which also impacts our ability to target and offer gun recruits a decent salary.

    There's no evidence our salary cap is tight.

    In fact it's the opposite, we were in for Windhager on good money, we're in for Flanders, we're in for Mihocek.

    Can't go shopping without a solid bank balance.

    Thing with both Flanders and Windhager is cleary the money is significantly more then what we have offered. If Flanders accept the saints offer then simply its a money thing over the connection with King.

    St Kilder upped their offer the moment they found out we had strong interest in Windhager and that was pretty much it.

    Im not saying our salary cap is tight, but i doubt there's wriggle room to go after a Ben King or Zak Butters next year. For that to happen either Petracca oe Oliver would need ro be off the books which is why the Club is clearly okay with Petracca looking around.

    Seems these days that established players looking to switch clubs won't get out of bed for less than that.

    Let’s hope we can trade in decent talent to improve the list vs the vfl players we gotten since 21!

    Clarrys end to the season was a bit underrated I think..I think with a big pre season he can bounce back..

    His late season form was still miles below his best.

    We heard all this at the end of last year.

    It was all "oh but a full pre season and he'll be back to his best again "....

    I cant ever see him being back to his best again. Maybe a good footy solider, but nothing like previously.

    Occam's razor

    This morning on SEN, Cornes said that he had heard a rumour, that Trac was going to announce he was up for trade, in the next few days. He was clear that it was just something he had heard.

    Hot flash: King or Butters aren't coming to MFC. We need to trade for solid talent like Flanders and draft for stars, lucky we've got JT who can do that.

    Why? Explain further..

    Steven King already has a strong relationshipwith Ben King from GC and has openly stated that he will use all of his connections and networks in bringing on good players.

    There was a rumour Cornes had half a brain... but i think they were overstating the case ....

    None where a club is prepared to trade. They might take him if free as an FA.

    At least with Trac there is genuine interest with clubs considering trades.

    I will be over the moon if Oliver does reward the support the club has given him and lives up to the mega contract he signed in mid 2022.

    I would like both of them to stay at least one more year and see what King can do. Then both might have better trade value.

    I heaard last night from sources close to the industry that SEN's business model isn't working and that they will soon have to cut staff. Announcement expected a few days after the Grand Final.

    The way Trac and ANB hugged prior to the start of our Crows match, had me thinking that Trac may want to be reunited with ANB next year.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
