How does a club like Geelong have over 2 million spare in the cap? Would love to see their books

I hate Geelong but who are they paying? They should have cap space, none of them are large earners other than Cameron and maybe Stewart?

Cap goes up what another $2m? Should easily fit things in on paper

 

[Giant Pete]

Sounds to me like Petracca has said if he stays I’ll be gone next year.

 

[00Stinger]

To move Oliver it will be painful for the Dees.

He simply is not worth the years or the dollars in his current contract .

I dunno, moving him at his lowest value would be utterly stupid I reckon

He was probably in line for a 4th AA until his injury mid last year

Effectively he has had 1 bad year in 9 years. Now that was a really ****ing bad year but giving him away for nothing would be stupid.

 

[fargothegreat]

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

Geelong don't have a good pick.

Obviously not knowing the details, id assume if Geelong are taking a punt theres a reasonable chance that he can get back to close to his best.

If not worth 1.1-1.3mil per year, whats he worth? 900k? Perryman is on 850k remember.
What are Geelong going to pay? If theyre taking Oliver on and paying him the 900k for example then theyre not getting a salary dump, thats just trading normally for a 900k a year player, what Melbourne still pays is irrelevant

Hes a player worth what hes worth at that point, a normal trade. A top 10 pick id expect if I was Melbourne.
If Geelong paid the full 1.3mil then sure, get a discount, their pick 15 might do it in that case.

People take way too much stock of this salary dump stuff

 

[Bucking Beads]

This guy could be the one that finally breaks the Cats. It might be one dickhead too many.

He is not going to get back to his best remaining at or in Melbourne. The guy needs a complete reset and to get away from the negative influences in his past life. If Geelong can support him to make the right the personal decisions he will be a player otherwise the guy remains a 'train wreck'.

And what forces him to leave his house in Melbourne and move to Geeschlong? Nothing.

 

[markm106]

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.

Sounds like Geelong or Dees TBH.

15 years this jealousy and ignorance has been travelling. I could have travelled around the world 8 times and came back to 2009.

Smith and Oliver will be Hopper and Taranto 2.0. Both blokes can’t run defensively or have any accountability if there life were on the line.

Media will hype it up all summer only for one bloke to get injured and be unfit and the other to go off the rails.

Wonder which Geelong lad is happy to put up there couch for Oliver like Gawn has on countless times.

Isnt he a disqualified driver?

Hasn't stopped him driving so far

In his prime, Oliver was one of the best defensive midfielders in the league. He literally did a defensive job on Bont in the granny which went a long way to us winning the flag.

At his best, he definitely is. if you don't think he'll get back to his best, that's another story.

Bont had 25 and kicked 3 goals don't think that was why you won,

Clayton is overweight now and doesn't have the tank to do both

 

[TY24]

Surprised he hasn't considered going to West Coast Eagles, could have all free Hungry Jacks he wants up there.

We've had enough coked up deadshits for one lifetime thanks

 

[The Slitherin' Snake]

You won because from about 10 mins to go in the 3rd you played flawless offensive football, our mids couldnt touch it and the Dees ran forward in waves.

If the game stopped when the Dogs were still in front, Bont wins the Norm Smith

 

[wingersclub]

Needs to happen.
The guy just isn’t changing his ways so I rather that behaviour be at someone else’s club.
If he gets back to his best good on him but I rather not risk another year of it.

Problem is Oliver wants to go to the Cats, not the BigBirds.

 

[T2B_]

Thoughts and prayers for Danny at this time

 

[Mich0]

Problem is Oliver wants to go to the Cats, not the BigBirds.

He has barely had a chance to shop himself around yet. Might have a few other clubs to meet still.

There is a reason he hasn’t formally requested a trade to Cats and that’s likely because he doubts they have the capital to get it done.
