I have spoken to three ex Demon players all of whom were shocked that he was given away for next to nothing, paying a huge chunk of his wage.

Surely that says something in itself.

I like GWS, I hope Clarrie does well there and they win the flag.

But Steele for Oliver is a very good trade for us.

The mark of a great player.

Side note, only 2 players in the history of VFL/AFL have achieved this 3 times: KB (67,73,74) and Lethal (71, 76, 78)

People assert this all the time.

It can be the mark of a great player or it can mean you just happen to have a good season the year your team won a flag.

Double down on my comments. Clayton Oliver EVERY BIT AS GOOD!

Oliver was fantastic up to 2023 but his 7th place in this years B and F flattered his output I thought. and thats after a full preseason. That has to be a key reason most clubs had no interest in him.

Was one of the three Judd McVee, because clearly he’ll say anything to anyone?

Have you spoken to any current Melbourne players and coaches to see what they say? Their opinion might be different. There's a reason he was let go.

Yep, Clarry thrived in the hot house pressure ring for the full 100 minutes, every game. The other two pranced around like fairy gods for two thirds of each game.

We know you’re not good at keeping promises,

“Last thing you will say”, I very much doubt that

The majority were hoping when the Clarry deal went through you”d keep to your promise of leaving Demonland

I didn't realise this was possible, but I just did a quadruple take.
