There aren’t many (if at all) clubs than can facilitate a trade for Oliver.The trade value back to the Dees is way too high.

Fevolution!
Senior List
The Dees can’t ask for too much if they’re are trying to get rid of him.
Blue and Silver
Brownlow Medallist
I think we're getting a slow burn as Melbourne offloads him.
The club not denying the rumours, silence from Oliver, the most linked in journalist at Melbourne backing it up.
They might want lots of picks, but they are dumping a lot of salary and it might open the door to getting a key forward they need.
He's burned some bridges it seems

Crows well positioned to make it happen…..
Pick 9, F1, McAdam, Pick 21, Pick 24 and Doedee compo pick to play with !!

Good. Not our problem
Essendon could. Might have the cap space too. Say it is end of round 1 compo pick for Gresham which gets traded back to them for Dylan Shiel. Circa pick 20.
Pick 8, 20 + future 1st could get it done.
Same for Crows - pick 9, 21 + future 1st.
They’re the only two clubs who I see having BOTH the cap space and draft hand (right now - things can change quickly with the draft hand).

Especially given he’s got 7 years left on his contract at drug money.

Jeeze I hope the Crows don't get Clarry, they should have made finals this year and adding the best inside mid in the comp will make them very scary.
They’ll atleast stop hitting up forward targets as much.

Oliver goes at 67.2 % disposals efficiency
And only 52.2% by foot
Thats terrible for an apparent elite midfielder

I think we lack leg speed. Saad no longer runs at top speed with the ball. Our mids are more inside mids and the wingers are more endurance machines than burt speed types.
The small forwards go alright but the rest of the ground not so much.
Our mids got beaten for pace against Brisbane but also GWS.

Him winning a clearance and then dishing it to Dawson? Frightening.
What if it’s an attention seeking “ex player”??
Yes Kane - I am referring to you………………..
Sydney are the contending team with probably the biggest donut in the league.
grundy and Oliver would be a massive upgrade.
It’s not a premiership list…
We are in the window to play in prelims…
NOT WIN THEM…
Do we have a quality ruckman?
Do we have a quality small forward?
Do we have a good CHB?
Are we quick enough through the midfield?
Do the pies get better next year? Yes (Daicos through the middle)
Do the Lions get better? Yes (Ashcroft through the middle)
1 more A grader and some speed…
Did you see the list that just won the flag?
Notice the quality of some of the blokes who got medals on Saturday?
I actually don't think Cripps is as bad a kick as lots say. I think this season in particular he lowers his eyes hitting up shorter passes more than he ever has and he hits them way more than he misses. It was just about his best kicking season imo
Every team has holes - we can always add talent and improve the least, but we are definitely ready to contend for flags.
Agree with this, first thing I thought when I read Adelaide was how it's probably the absolute best fit for player and club.
A mid 4 of O'Brien, Oliver, Laird & Dawson is elite.

6 million dollarbuck contract...sounds like it'll be a Brody Grundy type trade to me.

That's Ben Brown
This guy would get more possies than Frampton did in the granny

So short sighted.
So Brisbane and Collingwood get better because they have development in their players, but we don't in ours?
Our quality ruckman will be TDK.
Our quality small forwards will come in Motlop and Durdin. They are still kids.
CHB (maybe) - we did fine with what we put out on the park. We had the third lowest PA for 2023.
We are quick enough. You don't necessarily need running speed. We move the ball out of the midfield fast enough that we scored more than anyone else through clearance.
Wickzki
Definitely Sam MacLure.

We desperately need our small forwards to improve and to provide scoring if we're to win a premiership. Think that's our biggest weaknesses in finals.
Pies have 3 or 4 who can bob up for multiple goals any given week. So too does Brisbane. Beyond Jack Martin we don't have any that we can trust to do the same so if Harry and Charlie are playing hurt - which they were - or are well held - which they were - too much is relied upon too few.
Both grand finalists might carry some "spuds" but the list structure is right for both of them to deliver in the finals. I argue that we have as much of not more AFL level players but the structure isn't quite right at the moment.
Would change quickly if Motlop, Durdin, Owies and Cuners can find another level or we're able to fill that gap externally.

Cripps towards the back end of the season/finals was hitting targets inside 50.
