Disappointing once again that we've missed out on a player that fits a great need for us. Carlton are building a potent list while we have more holes then a Swiss cheese with ours. They've done exceptionally well.

That's only my opinion Titan, I'm not saying that's exactly how they're feeling, but I have no doubt that thought comes into their head over the finals period. I am also sure they would watch St Kilda and Brisbane over the weekend winning, and hopefully get the sense that we are seriously not far off challenging for a serious tilt at sustained success considering we beat St Kilda and Collingwood and were a kick away from beating Brisbane. I'm hoping it's the latter.

We are about to go into the 3rd year since the 2018 campaign. When do you draw the line in reflecting back too far. A lot of personal have changed since and clubs have worked us out. As a club we can't continue to live off the 2018 finals glory. Its done a gone. Players care about what's in the now and the future. I do understand the logic of what you're saying @titan_uranus but reflecting back a couple of years ago doesn't fix the issue that we've now gone another year of missing finals. I can bet that doesn't exactly soothe the soul for some of the players that would be getting restless with the lack of success.

I meant the photo in general. Harmes is in QLD still with a group of mates. That photo was taken in Echuca last year.

That was taken last year.

Don't worry I agree with your point.

Spot on. Again, I too don't believe the placing of the best and fairest is the sole reasoning at all. I think at his age and what he's already achieved, he would be satisfied enough. He'll win a few more BnF's mind you. The middle part as you note is very interesting. Could be all of those things that we wouldn't know. I think we all can agree that 2021 looms as a very critical year for the footy club.

I just think think he like some players would be getting restless because of the lack of success. Oliver's already had 5 years in the system and he's played finals once. It would absolutely play on their minds knowing they have a bloke on the list named Nathan Jones who's barely had any success. Do they want to go down that same path? Putting my football hat on, as a player, would absolutely hand back all my individual achievements if it meant I was constantly playing finals each year and knowing that we were so close on the brink of success. Watching the likes of Brisbane, St Kilda go past us in the last 2 years would leave a pretty salty taste in their mouths. Having dealt with Oliver from our bushies days, he's a competitive beast who just wants to win every single game and taste success. He's never once come across someone who's in for the individual stuff.

Curnow is cooked mate. I would not be surprised if he doesn't play again. Still struggling with his knee injury.

Clarry won't get traded this year. He's contacted and I expect a Daniher/Papley like scenario even if he requested a trade. The big issue will be when he is out of contract next year and potentially miss finals. 2021 could not be a more crucial year then ever. Goodwin needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

I think this is the real worry. I honestly do believe there is some restless players who want success and Oliver and Trac i feel would be one of those players. If we don't make finals next year then Oliver will have every right to explore his options and would think he could potentially leave.

Yes i am aware of Cripps partner situation, I believe she is battlibg some serious anxiety issues and is very homesick?. Maybe that's what Garry Lyon is alluding too in terms of a trade bombshell going down. It makes sense why Carlton are going hard for Oliver.

Seems to align with what some have already said on here about a potential general manager's role.

On top of the 40 odd goals he kicked at TAC level that year.

All I will say is that I would not be surprised if there is legs to this rumour. Garry Lyon has been hinting at a potential bombshell trade that's about to hit, and with his links to Melbourne, I would not be surprised if this is the Oliver to Blues rumour that's swirling around.

Interesting what you find on Essendon bigfooty.. “One of my friends knows a few fox footy commentators. There’s truth to the Oliver rumour. But it does look like Carlton are in the box seat for him. Not sure how they’ll manage Williams, Oliver and Saad. In addition to all the players they’ve just re-signed, and no clarity on what the cap will be, so we’ll see how that goes.” With a bit of follow up.. “That he [Oliver] isn’t happy at the Dees and would be open to a trade. Dees are apparently looking to get into the first round for draft picks. And would consider a deal (that was obviously good for them). Viney, Brayshaw and Oliver were all options. But Oliver was the one more open to a move.”

I'm getting excited....

Bit of a nothing article hey..
