Been spoken about since he signed it.

Everything I remember was it was 7 years at $7million. That's not $1.5m/year, although if it was backloaded, it could be heading in that direction.

$1.3 mill according to Mark Robinson

https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/mark-robinson-in-the-professional-era-clayton-oliver-needs-to-accept-hell-be-a-demon-in-2025/news-story/4463dfd78b47a42b20fd4faa6b2b4a5c

The Demons have walked a tightrope with the 27-year-old for some time. Stupidly, they put him on a bumper deal that pays him $1.3 million per year when they were aware of his mental distress. His volcanic off-field behaviour may have come later.

For at least two years now, Melbourne has tried to help him. Medically and psychologically. They have cuddled him and cared for him. They have forgiven him and they encouraged him and they have also eyeballed him.

So is Lachie Neale worth talking about?

There was an article, either player agent or draft based, about a former SA player who was especially dark on one of the SA teams.

Seems they didn’t want a bar of him draft year, so any attempts to recruit him after that were met with a polite **** off.

I always thought it was Neale and us. Could be wrong.

It’s interesting that every report at the time was $7m over 7 years but the 2 subsequent stories after shit hit the fan added $2m and $3.5m to the total contract value, I call bullshit.

Matt Rendell says that he rated him and was expecting to take him with a 5th rounder or in the rookie draft and Freo got in ahead. Found it.

Ofcourse we went with the Nord guy over the Glenelg dual Brownlow medalist

Times were simpler back then, for instance Glenelg never won SANFL flags.

And I still think Neale fits the narrative I was jiving about

Well they cant make SANFL ones, they just buy them.

We also took Nick Joyce over Neale

There's no way he's being paid $10.5m over 7 years

Yeh, based on that article, we didn't even pick up the phone to say g'day and see how he is.

I believe this is so

Regularly speak to a cousin and the main thrust was this

Even when rumoured to be leaving Freo there was a ' no way he is coming here ' vibe from them

Man if Oliver goes to Geelong I'm going to lose my shit, there is obviously something dodgy going on with their recruiting but would be a bridge too far

Well I call nobody other than Oliver, his manager, the club and those really close to him know the actual figure.

One things for sure he hasn't lived up to the price tag.

And a fair way to go too.

Clarry Oliver wants out of Melbourne still and will request a trade

If we can get him relatively cheap trade capital wise and the Dees pickup a portion of his contract then we need to have a crack

A midfield rotation of

Rankine, Soligo, Draper, Oliver, Dawson, Peatling, Rachele, Curtin

Thats top drawer

He has the body of a 30 year old, the mental capacity of a 10 year old, and the nasal septum of a 95 year old. It's gonna be a no from me.

I wonder if Hamish Ogilvie was ever sounded out or applied for the Tassie role in the end? Anyway it looks like if he wasn’t moving for that role he isn’t going to be leaving his post anytime soon. Has held the head of recruiting role for over 13 years now.

Yeah he’s gonna be with us until he retires/is let go

Had a shocker 1/2 a decade (albeit with a few good picks sprinkled in between) but is looking better recently. Selecting more naturally talented players than ‘hard workers’

Seems odd for a player that was expected to be rookie listed, but was drafted at pick 58 to be upset about anyone not drafting him.

Curious how you can disagree with this Mutineer. On what grounds?

I think it was more not even getting a phone call. Might have been different Had Rendell called him and said, 'this where we see you, we're going to take you if you slip through to the rookie draft, congrats on year and good luck'. Not sure that's much better, but I'd imagine SA kids would be keen to stay local and at least get a call.

So that's Oliver, Butters, Harley Reid and Jamarra U-H all going to Geelong.
No questions would be asked
