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

[Bussie]

Rather than just recruiting May, JUH and Clarry, we could make them our leadership group.

It would great to see them all at one club, they would all cancel each other out based on who the biggest dickhead is.

 

[gouki88]

You know it's $700k for the next 5 years? Not 3. And I think it's clear he's past his prime.

He is past his prime no doubt, but he's still good for 25 disposals, contested ball winning and tackling. Hmm!

 

[NQPieman]

That would certainly turn this ship around.

Any other bad boys we can get? Keep going until we assemble Fly's Dirty Dozen, - Train them, excite them, Arm them, ... and turn them loose on the AFL!

Trying to be serious.

Surely not.

 

[NMBB]

People are forgetting how average Oliver has been in the last 2 years plus the off field issues. He might improve but doubt he will be back to his AA best.

If we got both Clarry and May, how much of the Dees' (vomit) footy IQ could we get?

Haha, Clarry, May & IQ all in the one sentence

 

[Dtennent94]

Surely not.

Trying and failing

They'll get checkers for free through free agency, it'd have to be a seperate trade for Oliver.

hope was for nothing was the reason for the post

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

That's why I said 2027. Butters can choose where he wants to go as a FA.

No he can't he will be restricted. Port can match.

[tranquilli lace]

Oliver = Titch of 23

 

[Ugene41]

We are gonna lose our status as a destination club if players don’t hear us making moves on Trade Radio.

We're obviously bad at organic reach on Trade Radio. Might need to consider some paid ads to get our name out there.

Yeh I figured after a google
Tigers don’t want him so we are def getting an A grade defender

 

[PiesHateU2]

For the money he'd be a risk worth taking IMO, IF his off field issues are not insurmountable. Doesn't matter if he's past his prime, doesn't get brownlow votes etc. But it does sound from all the commentary that the IF is a big IF

I also wouldn't be taking both Oliver and May.

Let them match it. If he'd prefer to leave, that's his choice.

 

[lyfsux]

The crucial part in your comment is:

Oliver 2-3 years ago was a top 10 mid in the game.

My preference would be to put those $ towards going all in for a gun midfielder who is younger & in their prime now for 2027 when we've lost Pendles & Sidey. My wish list includes Zac Butters.

do the same as Melb did with Grundy use him for the 2-3 years then pass him off with Melb still paying
then grab Butters as a FA

 

[BillyElliott]

Butters would be signed elsewhere by then.

 

[Tadpole]

It has to be a humourous thing, surely. Dry sense of humour to spice up our day?

Not a fan of dry spice. A wet rub is more my bag.

 

[lyfsux]

Is Cumberland still available? Asking for a friend.

a friend just asked me about Owies

 

[manicpie]

I could only dream of having Owies, Papley and Cumberland in the same forward line

 

[WanderingDude]

Didn't he get more than a few votes in previous years when Melbourne were winning a lot?
Hard to attract votes when your team loses more than it wins.

Just looked into it. 195 career votes. 23 games with 3 votes. 59 games in which he polled so far in his career. Definitely no dud

Good fit for Geelong. He could get a farm. Build a barn. Try to focus and hit it.

 

[PiesUserName]

I'm all for looking at Oliver as I imagine asking price is as low as it will likely get. He has had a few bad years, his documented personal issues and made it on the park this year but form was down. He was likely in a terrible environment and somewhere he probably wasn't thriving in.

He was a top 5 player years ago and is what, like 28 or 29?
