I'll also sticky this post to ensure it's easily accessible for discussion of our hypothetical trader


Also,

Good luck with what comes next Phoenix

Interesting, thought we may have persisted with one more year.

 

[year of the cat]

year of the cat has had pretty good info on this so far and not long posted that Oliver is not likely to pursue a trade now.

If I hear that anything changes I’ll let you know. But at this stage anyway it’s dead.

How did I find out Ollie Dempsey was Christian?

He thanked God in his rising star speech, went to Carey Grammar and he had a Bible verse written on his wrist in the finals.

Not sure I ever asked the question but we can file this away under TIL.

It always does my head in when club fans scream "we'll walk him to the draft!"
I asked someone once how that made sense, you will take NOTHING over something that isn't apparently good enough... how is that better for you?

And they can never answer... apparently it is a principle thing

You obviously didn’t read this forum last year when esava wanted to get to port

"Marked the ball like WAYNE CAREY"...

Both ladies men btw

At the time Rohans missus was cheating on him, so I don't blame him for hooking up with the physio.

Then she sooked when he left her. I wonder why.

No idea where the CO situation sits can’t help but think it doesn’t hurt to have it bubbling away in the background during the BS negotiations Mackie seems a shrewd operator so far.

 

[Larry Donohue]

Larry Donahue what does post 231 mean?

Just means it's not over until CO says so
Not sure how your name crept into that post. Not intentional

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Foxfooty need content for the deadline day special so don't expect it to be done until that is on the air

Not gonna lie, bigfooty is an amazing read while sitting on the can.

Of course Melbourne are trying to bury this. I mean what else was Green going to say at the best and fairest?

People saying that its dead and buried are taking Melbourne's word for it that it is. They are trying to save face, but by shopping a player around with 6 years to go on a contract (again), they have taken it way too far and Oliver has taken offence.

Why would he, Hocking, Mackie, Stewart and Stanley meet if they didn't think there was a distinct possibility that a trade was possible.

Also, I would be would suprised if this was the first time they have met. This time it was just made public.

This will only go away once Oliver publicly declares that he will be donning the red and blue next year. Until then, there is still a distinct possibility he gets traded.

Melbourne will lose whatever bargaining power they have left if they came out too early and say they are open to a trade. I mean it's only Day 1 of the trade period.

I would not be surprised if this all came to a head on the last day of the trade period. Oliver will at the last minute declare publicly "make me a cat" or else I will sit out season 2025. Melbourne will then be forced to trade.

I'm sure the Cats hireachy have war gamed this scenario. They are not stupid and will wait for Oliver to make his next move.

The big if, is when Oliver's next move will be.

Huh? She was cheating on him? I highly doubt that she had just had a bloody baby!!

Smart by Maxy, this is recruiting 101 by Cats players.
Don’t outright say anything that will get the club in trouble, but basically SELL that the Cats is where you want to be and that our players WANT guys to be here. Not worrying about their own stats or egos, just selling how good the team would be by adding guys to the fold.

A Finals club, a winning club, a club where we don’t tolerate the basket case bullshit.

 

[Commando]

There is talk around Toby Greene may have hit the wall. Still a solid player but no longer the game changer so Stringer could be a handy inclusion.

Yeah Stringer as third banana behind Hogan and Cadman

Not sure where that leaves Riccardi though

Sorry, cooked it!

Bulldogs list manager confirmed today that they have met with Mackie and co. He indicated they want more than our first rounder but made it sound like things were moving in the right direction.

A prototype of the deal has probably already been done. Mack made it sound like the deal basically just had to be signed off.

Power made it sound like he was using big bluff filled words to appease their fan base who are out for blood, a 23 year old kid is absolutely making them go mental on the Doggies board, seen all kind of physical threats and wishing him to do his ACL…****ing mental …

I reckon this’ll get done for that 2024 First and Future 2nd. I’m sure Mack basically came into negotiations with the straight up “You’re not getting two firsts for him, we both know that”

1. That's significant
2. That's almost irrelevant
3. What was the verse?

2. Carey Baptist Grammar

Regardless of what happens with Oliver surely Petracca leaves MFC after next season..
