List Mgmt. 2025 Trade/FA Thread (Cont’d)

Telling him he's likely to play VFL is absurd to me. His value is absolutely tanked.

 

[gtrain23]

I don’t like Clayton but bloody hell that’s bargain basement
Worth every cent of $600k
Plus we can change him

 

[No SPIN]

Oh my god. This is a bargain.

FMD another huge free kick for Geel - just absurd - if true!!!

 

[Peters_Nuts]

Should be all over Oliver but probably wont be, should have been all over Tyler Young but he's going to West Coast, Leppa is out of his depth.

No one was all over Oliver outside of Adelaide and Geelong until about 2 hours ago.

Tyler Young won't even move the needle for contending teams, hence the request to West Coast.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Well damn. The club would have to at least look at Clarry as an option at that kind of discount, even with the personal "issues" and our relative lack of trade capital. Due diligence and all that.

At anwhere near his best he's elite. As others have said, most of the comp will do the same though.

Plus he would be pushing himself to have one of his best seasons to stick it up Melbourne....

 

[MoreMoore]

I’d take Ed Richards over Oliver

Can’t believe we didn’t go all in to get him as a free agent

 

[Dtennent94]

Can’t believe we didn’t go all in to get him as a free agent

Probably wants to stay and play with the best 2 players in the comp - Darcy and Bontempelli.

In all seriousness, I’m sure the doggies came to the party and paid up for him as their mids are getting on in years. Losing him would’ve been a disaster.

He was intent on staying, so not much anyone could have done, but there was clubs interested

 

[Horaceg]

I’d take Ed Richards over Oliver

Everyday, even bring JFN back

 

[BillyElliott]

Desperately in need of a token ginger

We have Beau.

 

[gouki88]

VFL? Wow

 

[TakingThePies]

Lol

 

[BEEG]

If they are paying 600k you give them the future 1st and Checkers.

Come back for more embarrassment after your silly Elliott call?

You realise Leppa can’t just magically make players want to come here, right?

 

[Apex36]

I respect King for cleaning shop and acknowledging a fresh start. Something Goody should have done.

Issue for him though is Oliver's value is low and the leaks today that he isn't happy and Dees are happy to lose him makes his value even lower.

They either offload the whole salary with minimal in return, or they pay some of the salary and get something decent back.

Let’s offer them pick 27 and they can pick up 30% of his salary. See how those campaigners like it when it happens to them.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Boy, the Oliver situation escalated quickly.

If Melbourne are willing to pay half his salary over the next 5 years, we surely have to explore the possibility of bringing him over.

I'd prefer him over May if given the choice.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

 

[Horaceg]

12 minutes to say “piss off”

He struggled to find the words

 

[gouki88]

Sharp insight there from Cal. I would never have thought that adding good midfielders would help our midfield

 

[stormskye]

Nah this is a pure salary dump.

you think dees are paying 500k for nothing in return? They’ve said to the market come at us with your best offer. He’s not leaving for free

 

[Ugene41]

Now Melbourne have takes Olivers value, he's a must get target for us. We've been clearly missing a clearance beast that Long hasn't been able to take over yet (good defensively but doesn't win the ball enough).

He would be a massive upgrade to our midfield for ~$700k a season.

 

[BillyElliott]

Let’s offer them pick 27 and they can pick up 30% of his salary. See how those campaigners like it when it happens to them.

30%? Dees are willing to pay $700k of his ridiculous contract

“Honestly, f*** off”: Oliver's journo spray as new trade suitor emerges

Melbourne are set for a massive hole in their pockets to get rid of Clayton Oliver.

www.sen.com.au

"Melbourne is willing to pay as much as $700,000 (just over half) of Oliver's contract per year for the next five years in any trade," SEN's Sam Edmund said.

"The Demons today called him to a meeting to sell him a role change, expecting him to reject it. His days as an inside mid at Melbourne are over.

has big vic hacked your account spinny?

 

[Apex36]

Oh my god. This is a bargain.

Wow they really want him out of there. A bargain though? There’s a reason they’d do what they’re doing and I think most clubs would probably steer clear under the circumstances.

Geelong will be jumping in because they can hide his shit better down there.
