The club needs to get this right. All you posters that have him in the gun HANG your heads in shame.. One of the greatest Dees EVER,.. PITY King, Lamb and co won't back him in for another season. Under a new regime! Says a lot about loyalty, and more about everything else!!

did you watch him all year ? he's a shadow of the player he was. his last 2 years are hardly a $700k player.

Still better than Viney and Sparrow !!

So Oliver has refused to play in positions as specified by the coach, sounds like a complete smug mug to me.

Hopefully I have seen the last of him

Thinking

If $700K a year ends up being more than a potential new club pays him, and by some miracle the game reverts to inside contested footy and he wins a brownlow, does that mean we can put him down as an MFC brownlow?

Kossie does more damage as a forward than as a midfielder until he is taught the craft, and I'm not sure that even then, if Oliver goes to another club and they develop him with more skill and running patterns, he will just stay at the same level. Goodwin has a lot to answer for there. This is going to be an interesting year.

Gees did you watch 2025? There were numerous times when Kozzi was the best for us in the middle, speed, break away, disposal, linking up .

was the only good thing we had for a while there.. hence why he got midfield time over trac and co

issue is hes our best midfielder and our best forward😥

Exactly and tbh maybe im a realist but I was far more worried about Kozi leaving (and Langford in the future) than the remnants of 2021 even if we must acknowledge what they did to get us to that glory.

Pickett get a grip.

They know he can play.

There is a reason they are moving him on and it’s not money.

You must know that.

Our desires to keep Clarry are commendable, but we don’t live inside the bubble.

This has been coming for a few years.

We need to change or have the same result again and then suffer more pain.

Let me say this,

It’s a coaches entitlement to move his chess pieces around the field, like Napoleon.

Probably one of the most correct and relevant posts ever offered on Dland.

The simple matter of the fact.

Translates to Dog wags tail.

There is a common factor to those being nudged to the 🚪 or those opening by themselves.

Not hard to pick if you take a few steps back and just open the eyes.

Please god no!

We're already pushing the kid out when he doesn't want to leave, for the love of god don't send him to the filth.

I could deal with the Giants, not the Pies.

Wonder what we would get 🤔

Telling Clarry he may no longer be a midfielder is akin to telling Grundy that he needed to go back to the VFL to work on his forward craft.

Just now, beelzebub said:

probably bloody Mason Longhorn Cox

Would be interesting to see what happens if the club Clarry selects offers MFC a dud deal, whilst the other club was happy to stump up more.. not the done thing to tell him to look for a new club and then play hardball on which club it is.

I get that he is contracted and all that but it’d be a bad look on our end.

An admission that it wasn’t actually a footy act?

Throw in an admission that we were in fact better than them in ‘23 and he’s sold

Their first pick isnt until pick 38 which will obviously blow out to the mid 40's

Pretty simple isn’t it? He doesn’t go there is no world where we’re paying half his salary and trade him for a mid 40s pick. It just doesn’t happen.

I can only think that any Filth interest might just serve us well in cementing reasoned resolve in the Giants to play 'real' .

Gotta love the 🎪🤡🎪
