Surely it's the MFC who want him gone and Oliver is now saying he wants out

Can the club just withdraw from the AFL and enter a team in the amateurs?

The BnF sounds like it will be a joyous occasion

in theory that has some merit but it seems likely we wouldnt be getting anywhere near the compensation necessary for him and may still be forking out part of his contract for years to come, which would be extremely unpalatable

they maybe waiting for the right timing to announce this, which may not be for some time

would have to convince De Koning to come which may be difficult right now

Tom Campbell reportedly prefers to stay delisted than join Demons on the back of this

normally the club shouldn't react to this type of gossip/speculation but considering the train wreck 2024 has been to date they should either get on the front foot and shut this down or perhaps they are genuinely looking to offload him for reasons alluded to over the last 12 months etc.

"who wanted to remain anonymous to speak freely" this is a McLure standard line that quality journalists would never have used in the past because it basically allows you to say anything without being ever called out. It's weak and lazy journalism

Red Bull have delisted Daniel Ricciardo possibly to clear cap space for Petracca?

unfortunately this circus doesn't ever leave town

surprised the media didn't run with "Petracca and Oliver noticeably didn't join Jack Viney out on Gosch's"
