Speculation Clayton Oliver [UFA 2030]

[markm106]

That's true if the afl would sign off on it. I bet whatever contract gets lodged (if it goes through) we never really will be told exactly what specific amounts each club is paying.

Journos make an educated guess that’s for sure. I don’t see why the AFL wouldn’t sign off on a percentage rather than a figure. Also I don’t think many players are willing to accept a massive pay cut. We’re possibly talking a 300k pay cut or something along those lines.

Dees should be moving him on and ideally not pay any salary, take unders if you need to but just make a clean cut. Goodwin will probably get the arse next year and maybe Petracca gets his wish to go. Staring down the barrel of a hard rebuild with compromised drafts coming up. They have squandered what could have been a golden era for the club.

Fairly certain any Richmond rebuild will be 10x as bad following the North strategy you blokes are doing selling all your experience.

Will be North 2.0 with a decade on the bottom.

 

[Mich0]

What players do Geelong have that the Dees would want? O Sullivan? SDK? Humphries?

Reports stating like it will be f1 and a player. Shame you blokes delisted Parfitt as he would’ve probably fit the bill.

I agree.
I don't think Geelong will pay him 1.3 (if that's what he's really on)
I don't think he will sacrifice 300k per year
And I'm not sure how much melb would pay
So this is where the complications will be more than whether melb are willing to trade (they clearly are or he wouldn't be meeting with geelong).
We know Grundy is on a contract where 2 clubs are paying him-i assume the afl would allow the same if its a % rather than $ figure as its not that much different.

Don't worry guys Hawkins out the door clears at least 1.5 mil a season! Hopefully all the pubs and farms being dished out get swept up in the next Helene. Worst kept secret in the AFL.

Sdk won't go this year (next year might be a different story). And humphries and O'Sullivan would be as close to untouchable as you can get.
You might see the likes of more fringe guys like knevitt and clohesy move around.
I think we delisted parfitt to make it easy for him to find a home as a DFA.

Someone gets pushed out with Martin/Smith and Oliver

I doubt it as we have a thin midfield with plenty of vacancies. Who were you thinking of?

I think you’re going to be very disappointed in what Geelong will be willing to pay.

I’m just stating what’s being reported. Which is usually around the mark.

Bowes, Clark and Bruhn still going to be getting a run in the guts behind Danger, Oliver, Smith, Holmes, Atkins

 

[Warhorse]

Hopefully we hand over Bruhn in the deal

 

[rye]

Hopefully we hand over Bruhn in the deal

if you could convince any other club to value bruhn higher than a future third geelong should take it and run.

 

[stallon]

Do the dees go full rebuild without Clarry or still try to topup with mature players to go for a finals push again?
If they commit to a rebuild then surely Jhye Clark is on the table

Oliver for Clark + a pick?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Bowes, Clark and Bruhn still going to be getting a run in the guts behind Danger, Oliver, Smith, Holmes, Atkins

Clark will (once he builds his tank which he needs to) as he's highly rated and it will actually probably help bruhn not be buffeted as much.
Bowes is an interesting one as he may end up in defence (he's versatile there) or vfl but that's okay.
It could put pressure on Atkins but he's almost 30 and a role player anyway your Atkins types are exactly the ones you want to upgrade and phase out to contend.

Holmes I think will benefit from having more inside mids to get the ball to him as his metres gained will become more dangerous.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

I'd back Oliver to be a perennial AA squad contender for at least the next 3 years. This season was likely an aberration for him with his limited preseason; give him a clean run at it and he should be right.

Geelong's future 1st should be okay. If Melbourne are willing to stomach a sizeable chunk of his contract, I'd say he is worth closer to a pick in the 10's.

 

[Rumplefish]

Oliver f3 to Geelong
SDK, Pick 35 + f2 to Melbourne.

No chance of us giving DeK even if he wanted to go . And seriously? Do you think there’s a player wanting to go to Melbourne?

 

[MisterMarcus]

We'll have Blicavs, Bews, Dangerfield, Duncan and Guthrie (although he's been injured anyway) leaving in the next year or two - almost certainly all of them will be managed throughout the year even if they're best 22, so there'll be opportunities for others to come through.

 

[tiger_tough]

You just know cats will get the best out of him if he goes there.

Na I reckon he's cooked

Not so. Hawkins was never on that much and took a paycut in his last contract.

2 first round picks? Depending on how much of his contract Geelong pick up, you’ll be lucky to get a 2nd

I would agree with you but Geelong's firsts are very late firsts.

 

[danster168]

he still cops the opposition tags each week. Opposition coaches still rate him.

 

[rye]

going to be a lot harder for you to argue that hes the greatest midfielder of all time when he gets traded for a future third.
