Clarry taking indefinite leave from football.

I'd still hit it.

Why do they persist with the "medical problem" line? It's fairly clear what has occurred ( again)

Yep

I thought "calf injury" was the preferred term for it anyway?

" mental health issue" is the usual. Technically correct I suppose, substance addiction is listed in DSMiv as a condition.

Justin Reid keeping a close eye on things from afar.

"Medical episode? Hellooooo"

 

[BucketsNj]

At least Melbourne won the premiership before starting to implode.

I reckon if we won in 2017 and then all the s**t that followed still happened it would be easier to swallow

Duh

’s granny flat gonna have a new occupant next year

 

[GreyCrow]

Chief Football Writer?

Cleary? Really?

 

[daniel_4tw]

We were going to offer what Freo paid for Hogan. We might end up getting him for what GWS paid instead.

We wouldn't have got curtin if we landed Oliver, then we would have been totally ****ed.

This isn't a bullet dodged, it's a nuclear warhead middle dodged.

The status quo isn't a premiership calibre midfield, nor will it be so...

 

[footy4ever]

not necessarily, players will accept less if they're a chance at a flag. Not a great deal less, but Port won't have to match a crap team's offer. If it was purely about $, Roos wouldn't lose any players and wouldn't have missed every high level target the last few years.

I did say the 'right' money.

I wonder if Don will arrange any camps being the boss at West Coast.

 

[Pugsley]

It would be Dean Bailey all over again. Oliver banned for things he did at Melbourne. I hope Demetriou got karma for the way he treated Bailey.

 

[whattagun07]

Oliver still has 7 years to run on his contract doesn't he?
I'd be happy to subsidise 400k a year for him next year. Let Goody pay the rest. Give them a 2025 2nd round pick

 

[MrBarry]

Oliver wouldn't have played a game for us next year if he came here, it's debatable that he ever does again.

I don't see how Curtin is "status quo" either...

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I doubt Pyke would let Birdbrain into WA.

 

[Pugsley]

He works with children these days. I hope camps aren't involved.

Tieing brats up to trees...

 

[Pugsley]

Tieing brats up to trees...

I am sure my schoolteachers wanted to do worse than that to me.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

If Melbourne were aware Oliver had some demons (pun not intended), but still offered him the contract they did, then that's grossly incompetent list management. Then again, they did the Grundy trade.

In fairness all clubs protect their stars. Richmond-Dusty, Collingwood - De Goey, WCE- Cousins and all their druggies, AC-Modra.

 

[StonesThrow]

Imagine having issues as a club AND winning a premiership

A 7 year x $1 mill contract is a bit more than "protecting your star"; in fact you could argue that it takes all the incentive away from the player to get himself on the straight and narrow. I dunno, taking shots from the sidelines I suppose, but maybe the MFC has over-reached on this one.
