Starting to look like Petracca and Oliver can’t stand each other and perhaps Tracs tantrum was a line in the sand him or me power play..

Mackie will begin negotiations by asking for Oliver plus Melbournes 1st Round selection in exchange for sweet f*** all.

We have close to no leadership at the club outside of Merrett - no chance it works for us - needs a strong club like Geelong. It’d definitely tank if he went to tulla.
Why would clubs even be enquiring if they hated his contract and didn’t want it?
Based on this thread
Geelong: is he available? You guys want to trade him as we are keen and have been tracking him since last year.
Also Geelong: Nah we don’t want him his contract is too big.

What are you even on about
Surely Sydney would have a look considering the chads out the door next year and basically no one cares if you get on the gear in Sydney as an AFL player cause no one will no who the **** you are

Melbourne should have moved him on last year.
They would have got the world for him.
It's clear this not going work out with both player & club.
I'm not sure what he is worth, he comes with a lot of baggage & has had another poor season by his standards.

Player has been great and potentially can get back to being great....but he has an albatross contract and questionable off-field decisions.
Of course clubs are going to be sensing a possible bargain and come sniffing around to see if the circumstances might make Melbourne happy to give him up for significant unders.
If Melbourne don't want to, then we all move on.

Blind Freddy can see the MFC want this bloke gone from the club and I suspect Petracca has insisted on it as well.
He'll get a full preseason this time and he'll be back to his best in 2025.

While it may not be accurate, the conflict could be explained by some claiming to be ITK saying that Oliver approached the cats about it and Geelong are simply leaving the option open.
Again, might not be accurate but there's so much going around about this that I don't know what to believe
Is that why he went on a family holiday with Gawn? Because the club leaders want him gone?
Club said officially he was staying and is a required player next year. But yeah seems Bigfooty posters know more than what’s been officially stated.
Enjoy Sav..

I wonder how many third-party deals Geelong have with certain players on their list.....

Yep, ship has sailed now. Dee's missed an opportunity. If they move him on now, or he they retain him, it's going to cost them one way or another.

So the X Melbourne guy who to blew the whistle was wrong?
After all he was right in the thick of it, seriously you can’t be this naive.
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.

It's exactly what you would post if you were trying to keep your options open
Nah, it's a persistent one. He isn't happy. He was thrown under the bus by Tracc and used as a reason why he was unhappy with the club.
Adelaide has been in his ear for a couple of years.
He's not guaranteed to leave, but I think you will find Melbourne would be happy if he did decide to move on at this point.

LOL.
Nope… you are right there, as a 2nd rounder isn’t even close enough for us.
They would have to offer us more than that to take him and that rather large salary of his.
To clear the salary cap space like Olivers will cost more than that these days I’ve been led to believe.
What have they got? Pick 5? Or 6? That might do...
So $1m/year salary cap relief is ‘sweet f*** all’ now.

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.

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