We'll get Butters next year instead anyway! Lol
Wow.
I ain't one of these ITK folks, but it seems to me that there is still a hell of a lot of smoke around this one. Gotta be some fire under there somewhere.

He wouldn't be. He would have to sit it out for 12 months for violating his contract.
No that was a different big guy, this one likes taking his friends to yoga retreats, and they say he has a lot of friends, well wishers, loose associates, taggers along and otherwise flexible acquaintances

If he's soaking up Clarry cap I'd be pleased to make his acquaintance

I'm uncomfortable with this line of questioning but I'm sure I can have a crack

If we're getting Oliver and all goes according to plan, then that pick is going to nudging 20.
It might happen regardless even if we flop a bit, with '25 promising to be a heavily compromised draft.
No matter where you rate Clark, we're better off hoping he realises his talent than we are turfing him to keep a pick that is much more likely to be a Stephens/Lang/Smedts than it is a Max Holmes.

Look I like trading and drafting as much as the next guy but I do feel sometimes that I wish they'd just get it over with, like whoever the club backs in the end its all a bit of "**** it we ball, these are our people now"
if we get Smith and Oliver
"****ing brilliant players, astutely played Mackie"
If we just get Smith
"star of a player and we avoided a basketcase, astutely played Mackie"
If we just went to the draft
"Gee these guys looks like hidden gems, astutely played Mackie"
idk maybe its just me

Clark was pick 7 now we'd trade him out to keep our F1, real chance it's 18? I'd keep the kid around for a season or two before we try to pawn him off. I'm not a fan of him but at least give the guy a real go at it.

Last week, when their B&F was happening- a poster here said something along the lines of “it will be arms around Clayton tonight, but come Monday, the trade will still be on”… can’t remember who wrote it, but it was astute.Nailed it again mate...down to the attitudes on all sides, the way it's being played, and what the real points of contention are. Even got the stuff about the contract being the real issue, which other journos have ran with.
Kudos mate, brilliant to know we have a true ITK on our board now

No I don't think. Think of changing jobs, you don't carry your last contract with you

Oh? Please help me to comprehend. . .MFC are demanding Geelong pays Oliver’s full $1.3m contract salary, right? In addition Dees want a #1 pick from every Geelong Premiership player’s first born son + a #2 pick from every Geelong Premiership player’s first born daughter

CO wants to leave. IMO MFC want him to leave but they are posturing, and why not?Oh? Please help me to comprehend. . .MFC are demanding Geelong pays Oliver’s full $1.3m contract salary, right? In addition Dees want a #1 pick from every Geelong Premiership player’s first born son + a #2 pick from every Geelong Premiership player’s first born daughter
Assuming there are contractual performance issues already on the table wrt CO's behaviours and performance then there is certainly wriggle room for some negotiation.
If the contract is terminated it is not carried forward to the next gig. If the contract is broken by either or both parties there is potential for legal shit.
My earlier post also raised the potential for serious action down the track if MFC force CO to honour the contract to his physical or mental detriment, given MFC has form on both and CO's issues are presumably well documented.

Fox Sports saying we are willing to use our future 1st for Oliver, don't think I've heard that reported yet
