Mark Stevens on channel 7. Isaac Smith certain to leave Hawthorn with Melbourne leading the chase.

Petracca was more around wanting to play more midfield minutes. This is totally different.

For all we know it could be a Richmond or Geelong? I mean let's be honest, he's not getting traded this year at all. He's contracted and thats simple. But this time next year if we've missed finals again then I think its fair to say Oliver will be taking call from the big clubs.

Perfectly well put Lord. Unfortunately some just want to turn a blind eye to the situation and thinks its all rosey within the club. Oliver has always has been a big competitor animal from his days when i was with him at the bushies. Just craves success and wants to win at all cost. I'm not buying into the BnF stuff as well. Individual stuff has never been his thing (unless he's changed). Its the want to win and gain success has been his biggest ambition as an athlete. I mean we haven't exactly beaming with success in his time with the club.

My opinion all along has been that I have felt he is unhappy and inpatient. He wants to play finals and yet its another year lost. But I have always said that he won't get traded this year. Even if he does request a trade, my starting point would be two 1st rounders.

Also while I understand several Journalists have reported the Oliver rumour @Pennant St Dee and its up to the individual to believe or not. But there must be some noise to it somehow? I hate to continue to tag him, but when@Chook in Perth confirmed last week that Oliver is unhappy then i definitely take that as legit.

I'm Just the messenger..

From the chat. Is there any info around what exactly Clayton Oliver is unsettled about at the Dees? less Hi Kent, he was frustrated to finish 5th in the best and fairest. I don't think he believes they value him highly enough. He also wants to play in a finals team. He's frustrated.

Private school boys There i said it.. ?

How do you know its a contract situation? He's still contract until the end of next year ...

Fair point.

Problem with that other clubs by then will be in deep discussion with both players if not already.

Collingwood fans will say that's why he has stagnated this year due to being moved to half forward in favour of Daicos.

If we have our interest and eggs in the Isaac Smith basket then I can't see how we will be chasing Phillips. Where does he fit in all of a sudden? Unless Smith turns us down then I cannot see us chasing Phillips.

How so with this? Riley Beveridge mentioned that Oliver, Hunter and Wines had all been linked to the Blues in recent weeks. To me that's interpreted as the Blues definitely showing an interest and asking the question. But as they go on to say, Oliver would be commanding more then they would be willing to spend. Oliver won't go anywhere this year. But won't stop clubs at least asking the question.

Nothing

Agree! I'm talking about being linked in general. Whether you're pushed put or not.

Maybe.. But would you say that if it was us linked to Lachie Hunter, Ollie Wines and Patrick Cripps? Funny how supporters look at it at a different angle when its in the different show. People were froffing over Ben Brown being linked to us when Damo Barrett broke the story on Sunday. Yet when its one of ours, its all [censored] and made up. Not saying Oliver will be traded at all. But its fair to say Carlton are showing some form of interest which I'm guessing is normal for him each year.

AFL.com.au running with Carlton showing interest in Oliver in their latest Trade show. They also mentioned that they have interest in Hunter and Wines.

Perfect player for us.

I think Covid was the big pull.

Interesting that he catches up with Scott Pendlebury...

Freo I reckon.

Huge news for us and a massive win!
