So we have 1.1m and 1.3m three weeks apart and we're supposed to believe these clowns? ok

Yup, we will be terrible for a while.
Behind all clubs at the moment, and by a fair bit.
But you guys aren’t yet at ground zero.
Need to nuke the joint over the offseason.
The prez and two assistants have already made way.
Expect the coach and the CEO to depart within 12 months as well as Petracca, Oliver and Pickett before the ground up rebuild starts in earnest.
Weak draft next year apparently too so I reckon they may try to fast track it if they could.

Both can be true, with the Smith deal, Geelong won’t have much currency to trade, so in isolation it is a surprise that they are interested. What isn’t surprising is that they will be interested in taking him for nothing, which is what their offer would be I imagine.

It's 1.1 this year, 1.3 next year. Pretty straight forward

What a sh1t-truck of a situation.
Melbourne have nobody to pay next year. They could pay $800k for him to play at Geelong next year with the $$ going down every year after that if it means getting a good pick

I honestly wonder if the the AFL will stick their nose in here:
* Melbourne cry to the AFL that they've made a horrible mistake saddling themselves with a massive contract for a player who has suffering from [Lifestyle Choices].
* Geelong cry to the AFL that they want to do the right thing by a player suffering from [Lifestyle Choices] but another club has made it impossible due to their ridiculous contract
* AFL wants to hush up all discussion on [Lifestyle Choices] so uses some secret herbs and spices formula to pay out part of Oliver's contract themselves, or re-negotiate most of it into AFL Ambassador payments or some shit.
Lets both clubs off the hook and shuts down any nasty narratives for the AFL.

Oliver is definitely the hardest to value of all the players discussed this year.

Smart move would probably be to join Eagles/Freo, self exclude from Crown Casino since its the only place with pokies in all honesty
Pick 16 from Freo for Oliver works

They don’t have the currency to bring in Smith and Oliver.
Cannot see it happening unless Melbourne give him away
Cannot see it happening unless Melbourne give him away
Unless Trac has demanded it
This would be what Geelong would be banking on
Taking the contract albatross and agreeing to.a 2nd rounder
How does a club like Geelong have over 2 million spare in the cap? Would love to see their books

Or they have to trade out a decent player to get the pick(s) they need.
Only having a handful of players contracted beyond 2026.
Its amazing the flexibility you can operate under when you don't throw around 6+ year contracts
Oliver will cost Geelong only one of salary or picks... it won't be both.
They either take a heap of his contract into the Hawkins, Tuohy, SDK (?) hole and give Melb a token pick or they get him on a minimum contract and pay up draft pick wise

Why? Nearly ever club would be willing to pay Oliver that. Perryman got 900k allegedly.
Even with that contract Oliver would be worth 2 first rounders
Probably by planning ahead, which is something I don't think many clubs are doing very well. Teams have known for years that the salary cap was going to increase by $3mil over the next three years.
How many do you think calibrated for that, as opposed to recruiting and contracting for the moment?
I think a lot of fans can't handle that another club does the off-field stuff better than them, which is why you only ever hear this conspiracy rubbish on forums, and not from the other clubs themselves.

Perryman may be on 900k, but what did it cost the Pies to get him other than salary?
That's where the difference is here. It's not quite Bowes 2.0 but it's not far off.
That seems nefarious, shady and completely unfair to the remaining clubs. Sounds right in the AFL's wheelhouse!
My point is, its not a salary dump.
There is no need for the Dees to take it up the arse
Are we talking about the same Clayton Oliver that is being shopped by his own CEO, had trips to the ED because of drug issues, has a history of behavioural issues and played like absolute dog shit this year? Which clubs are falling over themselves to pay him 1.1m - 1.3m per year?
Swans picks 17 and 19? Melbourne pay $250k pa of that silly salary for x ? years!
If any team needs a clearance beast it's the Swans. They were smashed at CDC'S in that GF. Smashed.
