Will there be a live cross to Austria so Trac can give his acceptance speech?

Another casual untruth from Tom to suit his narrative. you telling me the board only became aware of the Oliver situation today Tom? lol

True. Not all clubs but quite of lot sweep things under the carpets in many sports Did stengle get suspended for his nightclub bender? genuine question

Whilst i agree he should have been made to work for his place in the team, the AFL has a culture of sweeping things under the carpet. Look at De Geoy, beating a man and forcibly touching a woman, spent time in NY jail. Punishment was zero games missing. Many stars have a different set of rules than their teammates. We are not alone here.

Of course i’m not saying that. Some are true, some half true, some don’t give context to the full truth but they don’t give a rats

The media spin their tweet wheel: Oliver wants out Demons tell Oliver to look for a trade Demons want to keep Oliver Oliver to Cats is a virtual certainty Oliver still loves MFC and wants to stay Give it a spin Tom! This is an actual job but don’t worry you don’t need any sources and if you’re wrong it doesn’t matter!

This is really an indictment on Clarry. 8 years after efforts like this from respected mentors and he chooses not to change

Solid negotiation tactic Geelong will roll us unless we play hard ball

Not many here at all Nice goal by Banno Go Dees

if Clarry was a free agent at least we’d get pick 4

Campbell is considering his options now 😂

sometime you gotta hold people accountable though

I'm beginning to empathise with Trac more now that the Clarry drama continues to unfold Who knows how bad it was last year Good call missing the BnF too. Call me when your house is in order Demons

Ahhhhhh The warm, comforting bosom of the Draft thread

In 5 years will we look back on Clarry as our Ben Cousins? I hope for his sake we don't

What nonsense! Why does it have to happen? Why can't he go somewhere else? We have asked Clarry to explore his options. This is one of the options. If the Cats are keen you can bet the bombers etc would be.

Surely there are targets and minimum professional standards to meet in a 10million contract? How can we be held to a contract when the player does not hold up his end of the bargain to be a professional? Negotiate a new contract based on failure to meet the existing one. Half the money, then trade him

Who were you lecturing then?

Almost as bad as 7 years for Treloar and sending him packing without warning (for peanuts) with 5 years left and Treloar being an ultimate professional

Please do. Supporters don't need to be lectured on how to feel or act during a devastating time like this. We thought PJ and Roos had righted the ship and now we are back to a basket case

you almost bought the farm trying to explain it! I thought the joke was solid by the way

Morning all What fresh hell awaits us today?

"A couple of off-field incidents in recent weeks have put Clayton Oliver back in the trade spotlight for the second time in 12 months. It’s understood Oliver’s recent behaviour has again tested the patience of some teammates, while the club has been disappointed in some things he has not committed to." What did he do? You can't just say off-field, it's the bloody off season. Everyone would assume the worst but who knows. What targets is he meant to be meeting In September, on his holidays away from the club? I am sick of these vague BS articles

Confirmed he was sacked last week and was caught off guard Amazing he lasted 14 years on TV

Journalists saying he was meeting with the Cats today Seems pretty cut and dry The reasons behind it are still a bit unclear
