Speculation Clayton Oliver [UFA 2030]

[CatToTheFuture]

When Geelong gift players these vacant oceanfront homes or farms how does the player know where the drums of cash are buried?

That's the tricky part, you can't just hand him a map, you can't go through any official channels. We used to code articles written in the Geelong advertiser which, when decoded gave latitude and longitude. Lately it's been the number of times Donald Trump uses code words in a speech (huge cats fan, thinks they're really really great)

Footy players aren't rocket scientists though so after 6 months or so you'd have to have a mate of a mate just go knock on the door and tell him

Because the more people perpetuate falsehoods the more it spreads around and changes the narrative, especially around specific clubs. People think because of it that Geelong are being unfairly favoured and Gold Coast were screwed...that in itself is the issue. Cats put in the work and Gold Coast's poor cap management dug their own hole that they had to then try and dig their way out of. Gold Coast had to agree to the trade, so no it is not Geelong's responsibility to police how Gold Coast manage their club...

Views exactly like the above influences how casual footy fans feel about situations.
Can't count how many times i've seen people whinge about it as if its like some kind of GOTCHA moment that Geelong is being unfairly favoured.

Like Covid Conspiracy idiots, if you ignore it, it allows them to keep pushing a narrative that isn't truthful.
I will continue to fact checking people on their bullshit...

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.

Care to explain? Were Gold Coast held hostage during these events?

GC are fine, it’s Geelong who are the duck. Every player going there takes a pay cut, ends up with a farm & magically coming good. What a coincidence that the AFL has lost the will to prosecute anything anymore for fear of damaging the brand.

Chicken passes out at a nightclub during the season. All good, he can play next week. Nothing to see hear, no please explain Geelong.

Thanks again for another laugh.
Keep your garbage coming. Highly amusing stuff.

1. Having a payment structure in place means guys don’t go too overboard and demand the World, this has been in place since the days of Bartel, Ablett Jr, Ling, Stevie J etc. It means we miss out on a lot of Free Agents as guys know if they want to maximise contract dollars they are better off going elsewhere. Jacob Hopper as a recent example was one foot in the door at the Cats until Richmond came over the top and blew Cats offer out of the water. I’m sure there’s a list of players we got beaten out for. It’s no different to any other team losing out on FA sweepstakes. You win some and you lose some.

2. Name the players with a farm? There’s about 3 guys total lol…it’s a meme at this point because you guys blow up every time a footy player wants to play for a successful, winning organisation. Just think of how ludicrous it sounds. The AFL scrutinise every sponsorship and deal done from the top down. Now you are telling me they overlook it for one team? Come on bud….thats cooker level conspiracy theories.

3. If they “magically” come good is it because they are coming to an amazing developmental system that prides itself on getting the most out of players?
By far have had the least amount of 1st round draft picks and yet….manage to turn outside first rounders, rookie draft and basically guys like two sport athletes into All Australians and Rising Stars. That’s not “luck”, that’s what good organisations do with recruiting and development.

Lay off the crack pipe brother. You’re melting.

Lucky for Oliver a lot at the club work in property development and should be able to get him his dream farm. Bring the boy home

LOL 'magically coming good'?

Like there's a league-wide conspiracy for players to deliberately play poorly or fake injuries just to get to Geelong cheaply, then they suddenly are fit and firing?

If there's anything fans of chronically underperforming clubs hate more than anything it's a well-run club that gets the best out of its people.

I was talking about the property they buy, not their on field performance.

No. I’m embellishing facts. Everyone knows Geelong rorts the cap.

Well run club with built in advantages that the AFL fail to address. Add in now a glowingly obvious trend of getting players to reduce money when moving there, it’s starting to not pass the pub test.

The AFL have not even fined a club for making an accounting error with salary cap for 12 years. That was after doing it multiple times nearly every year since it came in. Good time to have side deals.

Proof?

I'll wait.

Lol, yeah, Geelong are rorting the cap for a bloke who has played less than 20 games.

He's literally the work experience kid there. I'd be surprised if he made any money on it.

Is it true Brisbane Bears/Lions players get free car, home and business insurance from Youi for appearing in cringeworthy television adverts? Drain the swamp! (This is how pathetic you sound)

Bruh Geelongs and absolute dumpster. How anyone could spout the 'lifestyle' as some sort of reason for moving is having a laugh. Only lifestyle there is getting on the crystal pistol every weekend and listening to Dangerfield's big fat mop of a head talking out his arse to mirror Scott's enormous scone.

Mornington is 10x better and actually has some hot birds there instead of hillbilly's in Cotton On sweaters.

Only reason anyone's taking a pay cut to move there is for the free acres of farm land and brand new tractors that mysteriously pop up in all the new recruits driveways

Are you 12 or something??

Kolo answers that question
He normally gets sent down back to fill holes

now that the Dogs are laughably demanding a top 10 pick from Geelong for B. Smith I would prefer if we turned our attention and offers towards Melbourne for Oliver

How is it laughable to be asking for a top 10 pick for one of their best players?

 

[Wojcinski]

Because Geelong does not posses a top 10 pick, nor do they posses the currency to obtain one
