I genuinely believe Oliver’s best football is past him and the club knows this. Without his ability to burst out of packs he becomes just another ‘in and under’ player. Not worth $1m. I reckon if a club were to offer to take his contract, dees would be happy to part ways.

Agree.. I doubt we would have won the premiership that year if there wasn’t a Melbourne lockdown and games were played at the G

How is this a fair system where Sydney has 7 academy players and the rest of the clubs are lucky to have 1???

Not owning the land is a concern. Not sure what appreciation you can get with depreciating facilities. We were able to make a nice profit from the Bentleigh club because we owned the land.

Adam Simpson?

Just chatter and rumours.. hopefully not more than that

Anyone hearing chatter about the coach and his position?

They aren’t proposing to build Dubai.:: it’s a few football ovals, a pavilion and a 4 storey HQ..: a members fundraising and some contribution from council and state governments will be enough. I’m in construction and the total cost for this isn’t going to be exorbitant

The issue will this is that everyone wants the space to be utilised and that the current status quo needs to change. dees are putting forward a shared public and MFC space. This is exactly what the council wants. Can’t see what the objection is other than funding.

Most people that gamble know exactly the risks and rewards and enter into it like adults. Like everything in life some people take it to the extreme. You can’t completely regulate for those at the edges.

You do realise gambling isn’t illegal? The world is full of vices

What do you mean part of the mcc? Do we have an ownership stake in the mcc? How does this work?

It still not clear why the mcc would be investing in the Caulfield redevelopment. What benefit are they getting?

Also poor by Brisbane fans. Sydney is a 1 hour flight. They sell out the home games. Surely they can get a few thousand to the game

Isn’t there infighting amongst the melb racing club… I think this is holding up a deal

I thought he was more of an outside player getting the ball from libba and trelor

Her interview wasn’t terrible and it wasn’t the only reason she departed. In reality, 12 years in any organisation is probably too long. She had an amazingly successful stewardship since she took over. GF followed by 2 x top 4 finishes is an outstanding record. I would have expected a little more progress from HQ relocation however I can’t imagine that the infighting at the Melb racing club is helping our cause. Time will tell if her efforts at Caulfield Racecourse will be successful. She volunteered more than 12 years at the club. time, effort and tears. we owe her a massive thank you and well wishes.

Brad doesn’t instil too much confidence in me

I can’t see a way that a Clayton Oliver trade is done. firstly, his trade value has diminished. Last year he was worth 2 x 1st round draft picks however this value has dropped to only 1 x 1st round. secondly, like petracca, clayton is on an extended multi million dollar contract. Again, there is too much risk for other clubs to spend that much money on a talent that might never reach his peak again. dees are unlikely to agree to only 1 x 1st rounder and won’t agree to subsidise Clayton’s wage at another club.

Interesting that you make a call on a guys career after 1 year… I’d hate to be your partner and things got bad for a year

We ended up getting to 244 pages… thankfully it didn’t go as long as Jesse hogan 484

The rumour that he wanted a move so he could get more instagram followers was probably the most bizarre

You do realise there’s something to this story. Morris had every right to report it

Brayshaw would have been a good captain 😢

How on earth does Zorko and Ryan get AA honours. Selectors have no idea
