Speculation Clayton Oliver [UFA 2030]

[Wojcinski]

At the Cattery today.

He's the perfect fit for their midfield I reckon.

prime Oliver would be a perfect fit for every midfield to be fair, that is if he can get back to his best.

 

[Cleric]

As far as trade value, a second rounder would have to be the Max, and by second rounder, that's Melbourne giving whoever he goes to for taking him.
That contract is massive, and not one club is taking the lot of it.

 

[Mofra]

I don't see how Geelong get both Smith & Oliver deals done.

They will be struggling to get just Smith done with what they got.

Bulldogs have asked for SDK and are still working on him. If Geelong are bold they can get both deals done.

Do u actually think we(GFC) are giving something up for that salary of his??

North have the salary cap space and he is great mates with Simpkin. So if the Dees throw in their first pick and we'll give them back something in return l would do it...

Both SDK and Cats said No.

SDK spat his coffee out and started laughing.

True but u left out the response from GFC regarding the ask part...
Yep for a straight swap for JUH.
Then there was silence from the kennel... not even a bark. LOL.

 

[jackag24]

How would Geelong afford both Smith and Oliver?

If they got SDK does that mean that Lobb might be leaving. They seem to be getting a lot of tall players but they don't have the position to play them all.

Oliver value is lower than people think - a pick in the 20-30 range is what it'll end up as.

Smith is a 1st and 2nd and Clayton is a r3 at best with that contract.

Geelong won't trade sdk this year and don't need to.

If that's the case than Melbourne are stuffed, getting that sort of return on him.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Freo couldnt blink at one of Stengle, Smith and Oliver, yet alone put all three on their list without it blowing up within a month. Geelong, while run as well as anyone, have some incredible list building advantages.

 

[Scythe94]

What X Melbourne guy?

Oliver posted this on his socials right after the media started speculating yesterday. Not the type of thing you would think someone wanting to leave would post don’t you think?

But yeah let’s believe someone who isn’t even at the club anymore instead. Our club is horrible at leaking and there’s been no formal internal leaks on this. Mostly external noise, probably Mackie trying to just get an asset he can’t afford.

He was plugging a podcast, and that was the picture that they used to advertise his appearance. It's not that deep.

How would Geelong afford both Smith and Oliver?

Those mysterious parcels of land down there are not going to buy themselves.

 

[Scottish Bob]

Reckon we get this chat every year till he retires, week after the GF one of Purple, McLure or Morris will bring it up ad nauseam.

 

[Venkman]

Those mysterious parcels of land down there are not going to buy themselves.

Basically this is the time of year where everyone scoffs at potential Geelong trades. And then...the deals get done.

 

[schmuttt]

Smith is a 1st and 2nd and Clayton is a r3 at best with that contract.

R3 is taking the piss a bit, unless Geelong are taking on the entire contract which I find very unlikely.

 

[TylerDurden]

SDK to the Dees is a good deal.

 

[Donflicted]

Oliver value is lower than people think - a pick in the 20-30 range is what it'll end up as.

Surely not?

I understand his value has dropped but surely still a first round pick is a fair exchange?

 

[Foxman98]

Did you not watch him this year?

He's fat and unfit

 

[Rich01]

His contract isn’t that ridiculous.

, Perryman.

All average players getting paid over $750k a year.
Oliver would be on a million a season and he’s significantly better than all the above.

Zac Williams, Ben McKay, Josh Battle, Perryman.

Apparently he is getting scaled up with the new deal and is on about 1.3m. Agree not ridiculous if he is playing 2021 Oliver form. But he was VFL standard this season.
