Tim Lamb trying to lure star players and watching our club go to work today

Oh Come On GIF

 

How does this bloke have a job?

Paying $700k of Oliver’s salary for the next 5 years, plus all the non AFL standard players he has traded in.

SACK HIM NOW. HE WOULD HAVE TO BE THE WORST LIST MANGER IN THE COMP!

Imagine being the saints.

Let’s offer huge dollars to TDK, alir, silvagni

Next minute

Curnow, petracca, Oliver, Merrett, Humphrey all on the table as options

He has a worse CV than Ned Guy from the Magpies and he got moved on quickly after the contract debacles at the Pies. He’s kept our stars by bending over to whatever they wanted. I’m glad Cornes is putting some heat on him.

Let’s just hold fire on this until post trade week. He might have been hamstrung under previous regime, and has something cooking in the background

MFC April 2021

MELBOURNE has secured its most prized signature yet, with superstar midfielder Christian Petracca agreeing to a mammoth seven-year deal.

The Demons officially announced the re-signing of Petracca on Wednesday, securing the Brownlow Medal favourite's future with the club until at least the end of the 2029 season.

It takes Petracca out of the free agency picture next year and follows reports strongly linking the supremely talented 25-year-old with a potential future move to Collingwood.

"Christian will now be a Melbourne player for life and our members and supporters can look forward to cheering him on through what we are sure will be the best years of his career," the club's list boss, Tim Lamb, said.

"Over the past couple of seasons, Christian has established himself as one of the competition's elite players and we are confident his best is still to come.

"To turn his back on free agency, and what would have undoubtedly been significant offers from other clubs, is a testament to his character and shows how much he loves this club, his teammates, coaches and the environment we have worked so hard to create.

"It is an exciting time to be a part of the club and Christian has been unwavering in his commitment to being part of the journey we are on. 

"He is focused on helping lead us to where we want to get to, and we can’t wait to see what he can produce in the red and blue for many more years to come."

 

MFC June 2022

MELBOURNE has ensured one of its best players will be a Demon for life, moving early to secure gun midfielder Clayton Oliver to a monster seven-year contract extension on Thursday.

The deal, which is tipped to be worth around $7 million, will ensure Oliver will remain at Melbourne until at least 2030.Oliver will now be at Melbourne until the age of 33, having already emerged as one of the club's most valuable players on his way to three best and fairests, two All-Australian blazers and a premiership last season.

As one of the best players in the competition, we are delighted that Clayton has turned his back on free agency and chosen to commit to the club. It shows the faith he has in our playing group and coaches and it is huge endorsement of the culture we have built under Simon," Melbourne list boss Tim Lamb said.

"Clayton is an elite midfielder who has shown incredible consistency over his career, highlighted by the three Bluey Truscott Trophies already to his name. He is loved and respected by his teammates and coaches and is a key pillar of our ambitions to achieve sustained success.

"Clarry’s ability to perform at an extremely high level week after week is a direct reflection of the amount of work and effort he puts into his training. His training standards are reflected in his performance come game time.

"At only 24 years of age, we are excited to see what Clayton can achieve in the future and we know our members and supporters will love watching him perform in the red and blue for the rest of his career."

No idea. Anyone with his run sheet would have been long gone from most clubs by now !!!


Frankly the deals signed by both Petracca and Oliver and agreed to by the club were absolutely disgraceful, both in length and dollar value. At the very least there should have been a performance element attached.

Hawthorn, Richmond, Geelong and Brisbane remained in contention for years by ensuring that key players were well paid, but not excessively paid, to ensure that they could keep their premiership lists together and add additional talent.

Lamb caved to the ridiculous demands of these players and their managers and has left us with a horrible mess to clean up. I don't think the Pickett and Viney deals are any better to be honest.

He is the last person on the planet that I would trust to fix the situation that we currently find ourselves in.

List Manager Tim Lamb said it was a good opportunity to sit down with Oliver alongside new Senior Coach Steven King and outline the club’s plans.

“Today was a good chance to sit down with Clayton and share how Steven and the coaches see the game being played, and where the opportunities lie for him,” Lamb said.

“We were upfront with Clayton around the role he is likely to play next season and the need for him to develop his craft beyond the midfield to have his biggest impact within the team.

“It was honest and respectful, and Clayton is now clear on what we see his role being next year, and how we think he can best contribute.

“Clayton is contracted for another five years. If he wants to explore his options in the upcoming AFL Trade Period, we will respect that. Should he remain in the red and blue, we will of course continue to support and embrace him as part of our club.”

But I’m not sure Clarry saw it as still being a place to support and embrace him

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
