The dees are in a cap mess. They have to renegotiate both the McDonalds, viney in 2020, and then Gus and Oliver as RFA AND Gawn as FA in 2021. If the cap shrinks someone gets squeezed out, but not sure they have the GWS like discipline to let viney walk to keep Oliver.
Petracca 2020 too.
Plus, I’m hearing him and Gawn don’t get along.
All points to one thing: Oliver is heading north.

First I’ve heard of this cap mess. We have room to sign another player according to the club last year after May signing. As we had room prior to May signing on. But also lost Hogan who was on 900k. Plus in 2021 Oliver will be the number one priority signing for us.
Also are you predicting free agency rules to change? Oliver won’t become RFA until end of 2023 under current rules and Gus 2022.
Fine, your 2019 first and second rounders plus McCartin should get the deal done.

Oliver won't be going anywhere!
More likely they might cash in Petracca who looks to have alot of talent but could be one that never delivers consistently on it so isn't worth the money he might command elsewhere.
Gawn will be 29 when he is an FA so can't think to many clubs will throw big money/years at a ruckman who'll have alot of miles on the legs by 2021.
Gus could be the one that gets squeezed but then again he is the second most important mid fielder so perhaps Viney will be taking a haircut considering he can't kick more than 30mts

So if Melbourne have cap mess than why have they said they will have money to chase another player in the off season?
Oliver and Gawn not liking each other is absolutely bullshit too

Another year another Clayton Oliver rumour
Is this the 3rd or 4th year in a row that Oliver is leaving Melbourne??
So the media create a rumour, then say it must be true because the club has shown no evidence of it.

If it's gonna make you feel better, keep thinking this
Thanks for the pep talk.
So it's now been confirmed that the media made up a story again, and the peanuts keep getting sucked in.
just as likely the agents were shopping / talking up their client.
delusional.
plenty of evidence, including comments from teammates.
his own manager
'It’s been confronting': Dees' talks with Oliver, why he stayed
Clayton Oliver's manager Nick Gieschen has revealed the tough conversations between Melbourne and Oliver, which clubs had genuine interest in the star onballer, and the mid-week dinner that helped Oliver decide to stay

For them to have said what they have, he must be absolutely cooked!
Exactly. All of which is ******* obvious to anyone who bothered looking at the stupid ginger campaigner.
I'd say Melbourne leaked to the media. Clearly had a player with issues they couldn't seem to reign in. Hope the penny finally drops with all the media attention.
Better to have front page news when you can still control the story. In 6-12 months time that might not be the case.
