A terrible way for a club legend’s time to end. MFC specialises at shooting itself in the foot.

I agree that it's a great shame. The original meaning of shooting oneself in the foot was related to a deliberate act, so that you avoided going into combat. Maybe we are shooting ourself in the foot so as not to have to go into combat with Clayton in the future?

In hindsight the long-term contract was poor however I support the MFC not any one player and will trust they know what they are doing with Oliver. Alot more than the so-called supporters on here.

I blame the club for the contract, but the demise of Oliver over the last three seasons is due to his own behaviour. He is a club legend, BUT not from what he has delivered to the CLUB since the start of 2023.

We have to lift our standards and thus why anyone who has dropped thir lip can be moved on and bringing in Stelle lifts the standards and culture.

I think the player management by the club in this instance. To allow the situation to deteriorate to this extent is appalling .

We are losing a 4 times Bluey winner premiership winner for what return and paying how much in salary

Appalling does not do it justice ,

I for one will be glad to see him not jogging behind the play when we lose the ball in the middle any more

If that’s true it’s absolutely shameful. You couldn’t have kept him for one year and seen how he went with King then traded him for a junk pick next year? Trac’s salary and what we were planning to pay Judd going off the books isn’t enough?

Nup that’s trash. GAGF Tim Lamb.

What ever damage was done to the fabric that cocooned the love-tribe causing the fractures and player grievances ; this was done prior to the new leadership at the club.

They're just left to mop up the mess and start to put things back together.

Not everything was salvageable indeed like a rose bush the pruning needed to be serious.

Yes its a damn shame much of this has had to play out but imho players carry the same responsibility as does stewardship. In life you have to realise it's your life, guard and guide it well.

Melbourne can do better and hopefully its underway.

Let’s keep a player that is going downhill and I dare say takes so much energy of many at the club. Time to move on

Clayton Oliver's manager is in the building according to Trade Radio.

Oliver deal done.

BANG BANG 😢

So long Clarry, thanks for everything

Thank god that’s over

It would be nice if we could turn Oliver into Steele. Use the pick and the saved salary and have the Saints pay Steele some.

Nailed it!

I wonder how badly we were screwed. Hope he succeeds at GWS and proved that we made the wrong decision

Thank god it is over with the Clarry saga. I won’t be watching GWS next year due to the trauma…

Can I just say… regardless of how this turned out… what an out and out champion he was. Helped us win a flag and put the pride back into being a dee. Will be sadly missed. All the best Clayton. Thanks for the best memories i’ve ever had as a long time supporter.

Thanks for the memories, I hope being in Sydney helps him turn his life around. A legendary footballer, troubled human. Nothing but love for him.

Death (ride) to the expansion clubs!!!
