Yeah, from when he was playing with MFC most likely… (edit might have gone early and Shagger was done with them before Clarry arrived)

Interesting to see SDK with the crutch too.

That’s not shagga

It’s not, I thought it looked like Byrnes

Good question Kitcat.

Which of our players earn more than $1m?

For $1.3m you’d expect Oliver’s best playing days. He’s lost that form. The risk is he may only gain some form. The hope is he hits top form + that’s when he should be rewarded. MFC has to accept part payment of his contract. I think $700k - $800k is reasonable.

Not making any insinuations here. Just one for the history buffs. Has there ever been a year where the sexiest player in the league and the unsexiest player in the league joined the same club in the one off-season?

We aren't getting Nick Blakey though?

 

[Zouz Kitty]

This has become a humanitarian crisis. We need to get him out of there for his own safety

Cats Special Forces are on their way

Volume up

Sure, if we were getting Patrick Cripps

Oliver isn’t in 2021 -2022 form.

Are we still a chance to pick the Gaelic lad Cillian Burke as a cat B rookie?
Talk mid year it was on the cards, but haven’t heard anything for a while.

Have a watch of this.. Jenkins knows alot about Geelong.. And he goes on Oliver doesn't have to bring the Melbourne contract to Geelong, he can agree to a new contract from Geelong, which could be alot less than what Melbourne has got in there contract

That would require a fair bit of afl approval and a lot of goodwill by Clayton

You could find games where Jack Steven tore us apart too. Imagine committing to 6 years at $1.3m or even 6 at $900k and he ends up like that. It would be diabolical.

That's true and that's the risk
