Farewell Clayton Oliver

"his former club".

Still contracted last time I checked.

 

I think I probably speak for not a few about Tracc and Oliver not playing for us next year.

Part of me is frustrated that they could both return to form and we miss out on it.

Their not exactly old for AFL players and just a couple over what I consider the prime years... Circa 25/26.

Very grateful to them for being a huge part of our 21 success but partly annoyed with their apparent lack of sticking by their mates and club./

Although in Oliver's case it seems he's been somewhat forced with the prospect of being in the Magoo's.

But a little miffed if honest if they simply don't want to play for the best club in the comp.

As good as they've been they have been paid exceedingly well and given very long stability with their contract lengths.

Maybe Tracc wasn't treated as well re the whole Moore incident but I don't really know all the ins and outs around it all

So I guess on balance, I lean to being disappointed in them both.

Anb moved for family reasons so that's different. Others have taken off for more cash. It's a job...I get that.

But I do doubt the moves are $ motivated.

So at the end of the day given they are both contracted........it's shows a lack of trust and possibly loyalty.

I'm not sure if this feeling is right ( given how good they've been for us) but footy brings out strong visceral feelings and this is where I'm at

Hopefully, we are well compensated and pick up some solid mids from somewhere.

But Oliver showed some glimpses of his brilliance this year as did Tracc ( mostly in different games) and they have been guns.

Another Insta update.

GWS have followed Clayton.

Clayton follows GWS and Geelong only

Clayton confirmed to want to play for both next year

Jesus imagine him and Baz Smith on the same team 🤣

What a pile-on. You can’t fault Oliver for being brutally honest in saying GWS and/or Collingwood’s training facilities are better than Casey. He speaks the truth and yet he’s still crucified for it.

His reaction after his meeting with King and again today is the reaction of someone with limited impulse control, and big emotions that they don’t know how to handle.

ADHD in a nutshell.

Unfortunately.

 

I will never be able to hear the word ‘facilities’ the same again

Unbelievable player, as good as we’ve had at his peak but his slide has been quickened by the change in game style. Probably best he’s gone but watching the media froth at the train wreck is more than distasteful.

As a club I think we helped a damaged kid for as long as we could. Hats off to those involved, I imagine his situation could be a whole lot worse.


Funny how Petracca has basically avoided saying anything publicly and is just letting the process play out.

Firstly I don’t accept he was “booted” out, he was finally challenged (as opposed to coddled by Goody) and he threw his toys out of the cot like a petulant 2 year old.

Secondly, it’s ok to be upset, it’s another thing to spit in the eyes of the people who cared for you (supporters, Gawny) on the way out the door.

Second this… missed preseason and yet Goody & Co allowed to play seniors to the detriment of our culture, the selfless thing would have is to say to King I’m willing to play in any position to repay the club and my team mates who I let down

2nd round draft pick at best for him now i reckon

plus half his salary.

Doesn’t strike me as a bloke who is mentally sound

I hope he doesn’t spiral downwards from here

Can see him retiring in 2 years unless he gets his head right


You know what...

Someone else's problem.

Go Dees

He has earned the respect of all real MFC fans.

Na, real fans support the club, real MFC fans dont have to respect a player who pretty much single handedly brought the entire club down in 2023 and beyond after getting rewarded with a life changing contract. [censored] him.

Come on mate. I have ADHD. I'm not trouncing around like a nuffy. (Well, maybe Dazzle thinks I am)

Oh have a cry.

He played a key role in delivering our first flag in 57 years

that alone is more than you and all other fake internet tough guys combined.

Well done Clarry, helping the club by getting the supporters to hate him and glad to see the back of him 😬🤣

I reckon he’d be taking a massive sigh of relief. I don’t have to babysit Clarry anymore or deal with brand Trac

Bring on a new game style and the kids

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
