Also,

We desperately need an inside mid, not an outside winger like Smith. He's a bonus, not a need.

And Preuss is always injured. Wouldn't bother with him.

Smith can play inside mid without any issues at all.
In fact, it is being rumored that will be his main position.

Holmes will have another preseason to build on his frame so you have two explosive midfielders about to enter their prime.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

How much more was Danger on when he came in? Or Jezza?

Because if Oliver comes in healthy and we get a proper preseason into him his effect on our midfield will be similar to what Dangerfield did when he arrived at Geelong.

Chris Scott addressed this concern last night. Said Dangerfield took a cut as he’d made his money + wanted a Premiership. Players, many of whom, are from Geelong area accept lower salaries to live in the area in which they grew up to be with family + friends.

I do believe the conversation Turbocat posted is important.

Why are you here Clayton. What do you want from your football…. What we have here is an enviorment where we try to give each athlete the best chance to be the best version of themselves.

Please please please I would LOVE to see a posted pic on Insta at Rhys Stanley's farm with a bunch of Cats players.

Just hanging out lol

 

[Tex]

Maybe Oliver should simply retire, then have a change of heart later.
Wasn't that how Dusty was going to move to GC, although still under contract?

 

[rocker_oz33]

Crows cut paddy Parnell he looked ok .
I think he'll het another crack at it.

 

[Grimoz]

Pick 8 compo for Battle is bloody crazy!!! Blokes worth a 2nd rounder at best.

 

[Johanpetro]

Pick 8 compo for Battle is bloody crazy!!!

Hawks paying him over 900k is just as crazy

 

[Max Rooke]

Hawks coughing up a tidy sum to get Saints band 1.

Think it’s more to do with the CEOs cry at their B&F last week, Ross Lyons influence at AFL House and St Kilda’s underperformance for many years than how much Hawks paid. The compo formula is ‘secret herbs and spices’ as Damo says.

He’s going to Jezzas farm for some Great Northerns and a feed!!!

 

[Willo_]

That his leaving or staying?

I think the best advice this time of year, nothing is official until it's official... and/or trade week is over.

Even if the Dees say they aren't trading him, doesn't mean they aren't trading him

 

[tielgaz]

Any updates on Oliver situation and where it currently sits?

Do you still think this deal will get done?

No finished he stays at Melb

Yeah its an attempt to shift the power back in their favour.

Agree, we need to stop talking about Oliver now, its not happening, time to move conversation to other deals.

 

[CatRiot]

I was told Hawkins plans on playing some games for Modewarre next season.

With Ablett Jnr feeding him down his throat...

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Cool - let them keep him, and "we" non Melbourne fans can enjoy the show

https://7news.com.au/sport/afl/key-...liver-sold-the-farm-by-geelong-c-16257631.amp

“Despite reportedly wanting out, he is being urged to attend the event in what could be a final farewell to his teammates.”

On another note GWS getting 16 for Perryman compo so that pushes our 1st another pick back, doggies not gonna be happy

 

[tielgaz]

Keep him then ave the club with self destruct.
It would like being cheated on and the misses saying ‘it meant nothing’ I’ve only ever loved you…
Ridiculous situation, you can’t float a trade and then say no I don’t want to do it and expect the player to be committed to the club.

 

[goyoucatters]

What else is new? We could get in pick 1 and offer that alongside our future first and they'd still be asking for Ollie Dempsey as well.

And yet 'everyone knows' that Geelong is far and away the hardest club to deal with at the trade table.

 

[CatRiot]

Cats probably should bring back McHenry for the VFL system... Now that he is delisted.

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Aww. So...does that mean no trade to Geelong or every other club too?

"Clayton you're free to look at trade options".
"I choose Geelong".
"Damn it Clayton you're off the trade table".

got delisted.

Geelong local boy, reckon Cats would eye him up as a cheap pickup.

 

[Jumping Jack]

No news on whether Oliver will rock up tonight. But I'm told as recently as this morning, that his management team are adamant the player wants out and they are supporting the move.

This has all the makings of a classic stand-off. I don't think Mackie or Hocking will be the first to blink - but the way Melbourne are going they'll announce tonight that he's a required player - and by lunchtime tomorrow there'll be a courier van delivering Oliver and his locker contents to GMHBA in a nicely gift wrapped box.

 

[dazbroncos]

So the Demons hang CO out for the highest bid.... then pulll him back in.

Effects CO position.

Do it again and pull him back in again.

Yup.. great way to calm him down. nothing says loyalty like that.

GO Catters

 

[Zouz Kitty]

I think the AFL will make an exception and allow it on mental health / player welfare grounds.

His issues have been widely documented and if this helps him get a fresh start (which he clearly needs), I think they'll strongly consider it due to his unique circumstances.

Article 28 August 2024:
There’s the nuclear” option, apparently explored by Petracca, according to Ralph:
“The nuclear option, if all else fails, it’s the AFL’s grievance process which is detailed in the CBA, it’s never been used before, he’d have to prove a breach of contract and the basis of that would be the club’s treatment of him,” Ralph said.”

Robbo:
“I can see the Christian Petracca side but they’ve told him they love him, they told him they care for him.”
MFC are doing this to Oliver now. Dees 2024 Crisis Management playbook
