Jordan Jones first cab off the rank to Sydney.

Seriously campaigner, give your medal to Nathan Jones and apologise for having it in the first place. Was simply not good enough to be best 22 and instead of working hard and improving he's cracked the shits and moved on.

Won't be on an AFL list in 3 years time.

Dont think hes worth get that worked up over mate.

Hes an honest trier. I got nothing against him, just not very good.

He doesn't have any opportunity.

FWIW, I think he is an AFL standard player and a move is the best choice for him.

Haha nah I'm not actually worked up, all the best to him.

I just don't think moving clubs will magically make him AFL standard.

I think he's handy depth at best, can't see him being best 22 in a side thats going anywhere.

I was just being a smartarse in my post and I actually wish him well! Seems like a good bloke.

An oracle. Might need to launch a recruiting campaign to bring him over from the asylum

 

[PerfectFooty]

Yeah i'm not fussed over the loss of Jordan clearly, but i'm not hurt by it either. If he can clean up some of his ball butcher tendencies then he's handy depth

 

[Fork n Hell]

so do we get compo for Jordon or not? the bloke was a superstar player for us, gotta be worth an end of first surely?!!!

I believe we do, and his age will help, but the contract will be minimal so I wouldn't expect anything more than a 3rd rounder at best.

Edit with update -

 

[Nickimus Rex]

Really good get for the Dees. Mature body with a basketball background. I see him as a mix of Gawn, Pendles and Jeremy Cameron. Will be a great get for the Dees.

Lions fan here, he isn't any of those. He is an awkward forward that is VFL level, can't really ruck, has no footy sense

His nickname among the players is Fullcream

Dear members, I would like to address recent media speculation that the Melbourne Football Club is exploring a trade for Clayton Oliver 10 Clayton Oliver Age 28 Ht 189cm Wt 88kg Pos. Mid Career Season Last 5 D 27.8 5star K 9.5 4star HB 18.4 5star M 3.2 3star T 6.3 5star CL 6.3 5star D 25.1 5star K 11.1 4star HB 14.0 5star M 3.6 4star T 5.6 5star CL 5.9 5star D 19.2 5star K 4.6 2star HB 14.6 5star M 2.0 3star T 4.4 5star CL 3.8 5star . Firstly, I would like to acknowledge that we understand the frustration among members and supporters when our players are discussed in the media as potential trade targets. At no stage has the Club entered discussions with any club regarding a trade for Clayton. Furthermore, Clayton has not requested a trade and will remain at the Melbourne Football Club. The Club has been aware of and supporting Clayton with his personal circumstances for some time and is committed to continuing to do so. While Club leaders focus on the care and support Clayton needs, we also have a responsibility to uphold our strong Club culture for the benefit of all our players and staff. We have a responsibility to ensure that everyone within the Club is committed to meeting the expected behavioural standards of a player within an AFL high performance environment. Clayton understands what is expected of him as a professional athlete, as well as the standards and behaviours a Melbourne person is expected to uphold. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the exceptional efforts of our football department leaders. They continuously drive our high-performance culture, while also providing care and support for any individual who may struggle at times in the highly scrutinised and high pressure environment of the AFL. We are fortunate to have such a caring and committed group of players, coaches and staff driving the standards and values our Club is built on. We now ask for the football industry to respect Clayton’s privacy, whilst the Club and he continue to work through these challenges. Kind regards,

Gary Pert CEO Melbourne Football Club

Apologies for the formatting...but that's put that to bed.

Thank you for clarifying.

We didn't realize that was false information.

Other clubs work out some scam or loophole to turn their spuds into 1st and 2nd round picks. We seem to routinely just accept whatever we’re given like an orphan holding out a beggar’s bowl in Oliver Twist.

I'll happily take Pick 39 for Jordon lol. With the Grundy trade still to come, I think we're still a chance at the GC pick.

In Jasper Chellappah's October Power Rankings, the top 10 continues to break away from the pack, but it's starting to look like a rather compromised draft, particularly at the top end.

Let’s hope Sydney come to the party a bit.
