[Cromulant]

That’s an easy no, geelong will be a good club for Oliver

And he'd want to go to a contending club.

We arent that yet.

 

[jackster83]

It a fair point, but would you back our current environment to deal with it if something does go wrong.

I'd be worried about Rachele leading him astray.

 

[footy4ever]

Look..don't shoot the messenger but this X poster has been posting a fair bit about Peatling.

OK now I'm convinced this guy knows SFA.

I've come in on the tail end of this, but how is this a Dutch auction? The price/terms keep going up...do they not? That's the opposite to a Dutch auction.

 

[CrowToon]

Based on recent history though, you'd have to admit we havent handled them well.

True but you'd imagine that with the prior knowledge we would have a clear plan in place. It wouldn't be an organic situation. Anyway, I'd take the punt

 

[JPetro83]

People saying he's signed with GWS other saying he coming to Adelaide and a few more saying he's undecided and renewed offers are still being given to his manager.

I love silly season!

If Oliver goes anywhere we all know it's Geelong, he ain't coming here lads, forget it.

ANB would have told the Adelaide footy club reasons not to go after Oliver. apparently, he has been up to no good in the off season

 

[jbanger]

I know we’re in the race, but how are you getting this impression?

Because old mate cricket says he's signed with GWS

 

[JPetro83]

Sounds like Peatling is Crows bound. Stoked with that.

Im hearing the GWS up the cash and length of contract. Sounds like he is staying from what i have read and heard..

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Look..don't shoot the messenger but this X poster has been posting a fair bit about Peatling.

I wonder why he would say GWS cap is tight. They look like losing quite a few players this trade period. One would think that would balance in their favour.

 

[GROTTO]

ANB would have told the Adlaide footy club reasons not to draft Oliver. apparently, he has been up to no good in the off season

I posted this thought a few months back, that the off season could really derail him.

Will be interesting how he goes in Geelong.

 

[Cromulant]

Im hearing the GWS up the cash and length of contract. Sounds like he is staying from what i have read and heard..

Because you read Fox Sports ?

Losing guys on low end contracts, bar Haynes

 

[Slime Roy]

Id trust him more than manure

[JPetro83]

Because you read Fox Sports ?

No, not fox sports. a number of pages/people on X

 

[JPetro83]

We are interested in Oliver. The doubt is about him committing to leaving Melbourne the city, not the club.

We are? since when? i have only heard Geelong been mentioned?

View attachment 2129071

wait... who's that in the Crows jumper?? that's not...that's not... is it??

 

[Mutineer]

We are interested in Oliver. The doubt is about him committing to leaving Melbourne the city, not the club.

Surely he could hook up with some dealers in Adelaide?
Certainly wouldn't be a problem in the Geelong environs!

 

[Slime Roy]

wait... who's that in the Crows jumper?? that's not...thant's not... is it??

No mistaking it. That's 100% Pure Peatling!

 

[footy4ever]

No mistaking it. That's 100% Pure Peatling!

Ah Geez.

For a moment there I thought it was a De Koning

 

[Peter Doherty]

ANB would have told the Adelaide footy club reasons not to go after Oliver. apparently, he has been up to no good in the off season

And who did we ask about ANB, before approving a play for him?

 

[Slime Roy]

Ah Geez.

For a moment there I thought it was a De Koning

Ooh, I'll have to check my sources on that one

Tony’s got more presence in front of a camera than the whole Ch7 footy team combined lol

 

[Pea Nut]

About a peanut.

 

[Billy Cart]

Really?

Who of the current AFL coaches were in media?

That St. Kilda bloke.

You post on average twice a year and you waste it with this worthless garbage?

Of all the hills to die on.
