Regardless, if I'm Melbourne, we'd want something in this years draft, not next years. I can't see this getting done.

yeah, it does. I'm not demanding 2x top 10 picks. You're offering the same for Bailey Smith who has equal, if not more risk considering his history and now coming off an acl.

not really. Bailey Smith has well documented mental health issues and a drug history.

yeah, but what did people expect? clearly, people that expected more haven't played sport at a high level at any point in their lives. You could tell by looking at him that he was grossly out of shape could you not? I could. His conditioning was horrendous.

not true. read the melbourne forums. I'd say most want him to stay. I'm a huge Oliver fan but I'm over his character flaws and would be okay with him to leave. at fair value. but I'd want more than a F1. Bailey Smith has had just as many off-field issues and you're telling me he is worth the...

because, he's been a head case. You don't lose your talent though.

THat's what I'm saying though. Geelong would only pick him up if they are very confident of him returning to elite status. It's a bit premature to say he is cooked. If he wants to be a top 3 player in the game again. He can be. If he wants is the thing in question.

so why would Geelong want him?

You're comparing Grundy to one of the greatest mids in the game. please. Grundy is a spud and I saw that first hand when he was at the dees.

He was All-Australian in 2022 as well as being voted the game's best player by the AFL Coaches. Do your research before you post. Next

...except a million dollars a year for 6 years....

Melbourne is so screwed. Out: Oliver, ANB In: F1, F2 Tim Lamb needs to get sacked

yeah exactly. As far as I'm concerned Petracca is more of a head case and a higher maintenance player.

Full value is 2 early first rounders. F1 is extremely unders already.

not really. we're rebuilding anyway. you're forgetting we were 14th this year with petracca and Oliver playing in most of our smashing losses.

Oliver at his peak is one of the fastest at the club. You're comparing a plodder with a guy who is lightning fast but grossly out of shape due to his lack of professionalism in 1 year. Dangerfield would be slow too if he got up to what Clarry was up to. :)

I'm more angry at Tim Lamb for chasing Houston when we're clearly a rebuilding club. I guess it's just an extension of the club really having no idea where the club is at. The AFL has screwed melbourne over so much in the last couple of years. Stealing Mac Andrew away from us, making us pay...

yeah, and he had 14 and 2 at half time before Oliver went to him. Just to refresh your memory, Oliver had 33 and the 3 quarter time sealer. Not to mention the most tackles on the ground. He's a defensive midfielder. Mich0 has no idea what he's talking about.

At his best, he definitely is. if you don't think he'll get back to his best, that's another story.

In his prime, Oliver was one of the best defensive midfielders in the league. He literally did a defensive job on Bont in the granny which went a long way to us winning the flag.

haha, his accolades speak for themselves.

he still cops the opposition tags each week. Opposition coaches still rate him.

I would agree with you but Geelong's firsts are very late firsts.

can anyone explain why the dogs are happy for him to go? and have been for some time?

lol this whole thing bores me. No way this happens. Why would melbourne do this when we can wait until next year when clubs can offer 2 first round picks? Another non story and mainstreamers getting caught up in trade radio lol

I'm not saying it's anyone's fault regarding Brayshaw, I'm just saying we still haven't replaced him. So that hole still exists. Petracca missed half the season but he still played in all of our worst games. He played in the embarrassing loss to West Coast and in the 90 point thrashing from...

we will be trash next year. We didn't get destroyed by injuries what are you talking about? Petracca was playing when we lost by 90 points to freo. We've got no Brayshaw this season either. Petracca is disgruntled and will be a distraction all season long. Oliver will be Oliver and be a...

they're elite. what are you banging on about.

if Melbourne circle around and chase Houston, I'm done with my club. Even some dees supporters seem to be delusional enough to think that this would be a good decision. A future 1 is going to be a top 5 pick next year. We need to go full rebuild. We've lost Neal-Bullen, and bringing in Tom...

yes they would. if it's a generational player like a Harley Reid or a Daicos, they'd use it as a development year. All NBA teams do this. The tank is already on for Cooper Flagg and the season hasn't started yet.
