Mackie just put any ideas of getting Oliver to bed. Unless it was completely blown up by Oliver it’s not happening.

Mackie interview on trade radio. Threw in a cheeky “he’s out of contact and coming off an acl” but all but confirmed our first rounder is involved as expected.

Also didn’t seem happy with the compensation for Battle haha

It's interesting though, there was a lot of 'Melbourne have been strong...we want to be respectful...put it to bed.' but then towards the end, he said 'that's where it currently sits...that's something Clayton needs to work through...as far as we know.' It definitely reads as multiple outlets have been saying, that the door isn't closed yet, and it's more up to him and his management if they want to pursue it aggressively.

Perfect interview though. If it's going to happen, it's all in Clayton, Connors/Gieschen, and Melbourne's court. We're not chasing at all, and never really have been. If we don't hear a thing from Clayton via himself, his management group or media leaks, then I'd say as most of us have thought, then he stays a Dee yet again.

Watch the interview and judge for yourself:

Horrible news for Trade Radio. One of their biggest talking points has just been nipped in the bud.

Great that we've made the call and moved on. We have plenty of other targets both this year and coming up, so best to spend our energy on those.

Anyone hear Mackie shut down the Oliver talk this morning?

Congrats to Stkilda ..generous comp… and their strategically well timed comments ...

Not worth pick 29, but if you consider he’s contracted he’s pretty close.
56 is a junk throw away pick they most likely won’t use anyway

They should use 56, thats the range we get our best players

Well as said a couple of days ago unless Paul Conners went on the war path and drove this it wasn’t going to happen after their B&F. It was the only way and that hasn’t happened.

Mackie shutting it completely down today means that it’s off. He would have phased it differently had Conners asked him as it would need 2 or 3 days of public postering and re-positioning to allow Melb to save face.

Like they won't keep spewing shit about it until the deadline

Was Mackie on SEN or trade radio?

A LOT of posters here wanted us to draft him in his draft year.
What do they think now?

This probably means we can turn of trade radio till next tue or wed. Dogs will dig in till the start to think about the player they might miss out on.

Would get him for sure but only if its cheap.

Hmm for a 3rd/4th rounder i wouldn't mins as depth but he probably wants to move so he isn't depth
