Parties usually involves club and player

From Melbourne’s perspective it’s very clear. He’s one of the best paid Players in the league yet playing at round 200th best according to rankings He doesn’t suit the way the game is heading and for the money we’re paying him we can replace him a lot easier (Rivers already showed what a gun he is there last night) and we’re still stuck with Viney for the inside bull role So if we can move him on and get that salary off our books we could solve problems elsewhere Clarry loves the club, just needs a fresh start I doubt we’ll find a suitor to take on his sort of cash so hopefully the new coach can turn him around if not

What is not clear about it?

Plenty of whispers and loose lips in the room last night all parties desperate for clarry to go

Goodwin was all in and May was a key part of it KB changed a lot, Gawn defended him in public because that what good captains do but behind the scenes he was filthy

Petty Lever McDonald Turner Adams Derksen I'd say we should be rather prioritizing a Key forward or speedy midfielder

1.Clubs often make decisions like this before coaches begin. It's part of the process. 2. May will ask to leave regardless of the coach 3. It's not a footballing decision with May, you will lose more players by keeping him. KB was the final straw The only issue is finding a suitor, playing him against Hawthorn won't help that

Melbourne's

Its the plan

To be fair the trade was for Holmes But yes, the amount of rubbish we backed Tim Lamb with these picks rather than Taylor is why we are here today McAdam, Billings, Hunter Genuine negligence when you have a guy like Taylor who can find absolute gems

🤫

The idea that Adelaide were offering 2 firsts is the biggest fantasy of all time. The discussion with Petty didn't get past the golf course because Melbourne told him and management he's going nowhere Media floated the idea melbourne could be tempted by 2 first rounders Then all of a sudden it became a fact it was on the table and we said no and never disputed again Yet somehow, the same 2 firsts were on the table for Oliver. Luaghable story

The issue is you said he has silky skills Whereas at St Kilda he was known as the butcher

He's only established himself as best 22 this year and we're talking captain without even knowing if he can keep up this form. To me, it shows the lack of option anywhere at the club and lack of on field leadership we have

Melbourne and McVee were confident on the deal being proposed and believed it was all sorted They just never signed it and it dragged on Found out recently that McVee was promised midfield time and then Goodwin didn't think he was good enough to get it based on what he saw in training Seems unlikely he would sign now but I'm sure his management will sit with the new coach

Worth remembering that the Monday after the saints game Goodwin was asked to deliver to the board his direction moving forward Sacked a week later Go figure

Well the club has said that the decision to rebuild or go for it will be discussed with the next coach. So Buckley will have a big say in any of these decisions

My money would be on Lever, May and Fritsch for shopping purposes McVee and Rivers are hesitant to sign new deals but that isn't our desire But remember this could all change with a new coach because the club hasn't decided on the direction yet without consultation of the new coach Incoming - Goodwin wanted Worpel and Derksen committed to us 12 months ago. Doubt Worpel happens but Derksen coming in will allow us to shop defenders Haven't heard of any other incomings

Yep. Just because lever wants to stay doesn’t mean we won’t shop Fristch is also the one who has gone in the other direction. Goodwin had no plans to lose him, things could change now

Very well sourced

Very true At 0-5 he was spoken to The feelers stopped after the Sydney win when the board felt it had been turned around

we're past the stop-gap players at this point and some bigger pieces need to be shifted for us to really hit back hard. I'm talking shifting two of Oliver, Lever, T Lots of teams were keen on Lever. He couldn't wait to get out. After the Goody sacking, he's very keen to stay If club could have the last 2 years back, Petracca Petty and Oliver would've been moved on for a kings ransom better than what Richmond had Enough senior players to ensure we don't bottom out and build a good future Lindsay Langford Windsor a good start

Oh no doubt Kozzie would've signed that deal knowing full well theres a chance Goody could be gone and was happy to sign it.

Lever was on his way out before this news McVee was disillusioned with false promises Rivers furious the midfield role he trained for all summer was then given back to Viney and Oliver I imagine only Pickett and Viney are truly upset at this news

Because if Culley was to play, Spargo, Laurie, Kolt, Sparrow, Sharp would've had to miss and Goody had his club
