Last time, I haven’t. It is a fact that some people think we will dip next year if we don’t get Oliver.
I disagree and believe we will be right in contention again .

He’s been told to seek a trade.
They don’t want him.

That guy thinks he's in the know because he posts what has already been reported.. and then when it turns out not to be true, he has some weird excuse or he 'trusts his source' more

His kicking is currently absolutely dire - unco ruckman bad. Everything else is good. It comes down to whether they think the kicking is fixable. I think it's a technical issue and is fixable, but it'd take a fair while.He's been mentioned before but is Tsatas someone we take a hail mary on?
Doesn't seem to be in big favour down at Essendon so might be willing to move and be attainable.
I know his kicking is seen as an issue but his production levels at VFL level look decent, by all accounts has speed which is a plus for us in terms of our mix and I see he racked up 11 clearances (average of 5) against Adelaide this season from only 63% TOG.

If we don't add to the midfield the only premiership you're getting is on AFL live
With Oliver seemingly out, we stated that we identified our clearance and midfield as a need before the end of the year.
Before we chased Clarry the club would have had an extensive list of midfielders to target.
That would not have changed and I would be shocked if we didn’t have at least a great depth plan.

Collingwood list boss Justin Leppitsch is set to fly out to Sydney to meet with Melbourne’s Clayton Oliver.A lot of incorrect posters in here,
Leppitsch is literally quoted as saying he was flying up to meet Oliver and that the Midfield was a big position of need which they found out the hard way against Brisbane.
Perhaps when Oliver was not contactable to arrange a meeting for Leppa's arrival, he decided not to take the flight.

I don't trust the media at all.
Maybe a meeting was indeed intended until the news was coming out that he’s already telling GWS players he’s picking them.
We probably thought why waste time, let’s just call and see where he’s at, and probably heard directly from him that he’ll be choosing GWS.

Neither do I. I'm going by what Leppa and Fly have said.
Leppa had planned to fly to Sydney to meet Oliver. Fly has said Oliver was not contactable.
Based on that, it makes sense that Leppa didn't end up flying to Sydney.
Nor should you. Or anyone for that matter.
Add to this also, that it’s being said he was telling GWS players he’s going there and it’s all seeming pretty obvious that chasing him was a dead end. Hence no flight and just a call, probably to just confirm directly if there’s any point having a meeting.

Ferris?
It was his day off
Rowell had the courtesy to call Fly personally to inform him he’s staying at GC, now that’s class.
While Clarry can’t be found, tells you everything.

I'd be shocked, perplexed as to why we would want Oliver. Sounds desperate. We don't need his type around our club.
Family club values down the toilet with a trade like this. Ginni wasn't anywhere near as bad and he was shown the door.

Why keep posting his stuff when just made up or info already said

He'll still be on that party boat. He'll fit right in at GWS
We did seem desperate there for a bit. I myself succumbed to it!!
I think it just feels like our time in the window is coming to an end unless we inject an A grader in with Nick.
We’re at 11.55pm on the Premiership clock, with the dependence we have on Pendles, Steele and to a lesser extent Howe and Elliott.

The club probably wouldn't take too much notice of what someone supposedly said. Nor who he does & doesn't follow on instagram.
I think it just makes sense to not fly up to Sydney for a meeting with him when his manager can't even make contact with him
