It's pretty odd. Usually this kind of thing seems reserved for players 22 and under, no?

Exactly. You expect it for young players, homesick players, kids from the country, Interstate..
He must really be off the rails.
Tom Morris reporting that Sydney were prepared to offer Naughton $11m over 10 years. Stated that we asked the question, but weren't heavily invested.
Also reporting that the offer to Naughton from the Dogs isn't heavily backended and fairly consistent across the period.
Risky move.

Different rules when you are having a teammate over for some cold turkey.

Wonder why he didn't take $11 mill for 10 years at Sydney. I'd jump at that as opposed to staying at the Doggies.

Who knows ... maybe he wants to stay in Melbourne?
I'm sure he's not being paid a pittance by the Dogs either.

It's a lot of money for 40 goals & 30 points a year

Not sure I buy that offer from Sydney. Outrageous deal for Naughton

I am just liking Oliver's ability to have pulled off such a spectacular role reversal. Bullying staff, not being nice to teammates - sounds like he is treating people like they are the ones with red hair.
No. Not saying had to. More like wouldn’t be surprised if the club thought about it in the past. Aka JDG and Ginni.

It's a good lesson for all the Dees players and their relentless bullying of rangas
The Dogs' CEO mentioned clubs offering him a 10 year deal when he announced the extension at their best and fairest last night.
If it wasn't Sydney, then Morris thinks it was West Coast.
Outrageous, but Sydney have form and like Brisbane don't seem to have the same salary cap constraints that other teams do.

Not sure Ginni compares, given his age.

Just can't wrap my head around it! Naughton is a very good player, but I don't think he's one of those generational key forwards (Buddy, Jeremy Cameron, etc.)
Might've also been a smart play by Sydney or West Coast to squeeze the Dogs, particularly given that everyone knows they have 3 other players who will be out of contract at the end of next season and expecting big money.
For West Coast it could mean squeezing the Dogs to obtain English. For Sydney, maybe you squeeze the Dogs and if it doesn't eventuate you turn your attention to JUH.

WC using it to try and squeeze the Dogs on English makes sense to me

There's more to the Oliver story regarding his seven week hamstring injury earlier this year. For weeks Goodwin and Richardson swore that 'Oliver would be right to go next week' only to have him miss again. This was not an 'injury' more a discipline or 'other' infraction... Other clubs should be warned, stay clear if you value culture...

Would be so much fun to hang it on Oliver next year even if he stays at Melbourne.
"Hey Clarry, we like you more than your teammates do"
"Don't argue with the umpires. They are the only ones out here who don't hate you"
"Did Big Maxy make sure you ate all your veggies last night?"
"Did Maxy give you your own room or are you sharing with one of his kids?"
"Did they give you a racing car bed?"
"What is your curfew?"
"Do you have any chores?"
I just hope that in this new world there is a place for relentless abuse of opposition players.

Ginni's only 20 & he's made one blue.
And I don't think JDG's issues were even remotely similar to Oliver's which seems to require daily monitoring.

I like how they word it as demands, it’s pretty much the minimum expectation you’d have for any half decent human being, the guy must be a piece of work
I hope Ginni or Murph get a few of these shots in
Feel like Murph would be the most effective sledger , that voice would be rough to cop some criticism from if you were annoyed by him haha
