Hope so. Another A grade player and we will be a genuine contender for a while.

Been saying it a while
I think we will approach Melbourne again re: Clayton Oliver and push a cheap salary dump deal

• get him for a 2nd round pick
• they wear 30% minimum of his deal

Clarry gets back into a good environment , has a crack at winning another flag, Burgess fitness program gets him back to his gut running best

A midfield of

Dawson, Rankine, Soligo, Peatling, Oliver , Curtin = A grade

Too much damage has already been done IMO.

 

[Sizzlepack]

No way I'd be touching Oliver. Way too much risk, and I simply don't think the upside is there. The wear-and-tear on his body have turned him from a superstar into a GOP.

You bring him in with some strict provisos

Honestly I think in a new environment , ANB and Burgess take them under their wing he will be fine

Pass for me, and it's not only the money it's contract length and also it's reported it's back ended.

Like the strict proviso's the Dees put on him?...that went well.

That club is toxic - top to bottom

We have built a good culture again, out of that shit heap dumpster fire he will get to a high level again

This can be re-structured

 

[spenze]

Not with a ten-foot pole, attached to another ten-foot pole.

Jeez, I'm surprised that you didn't try to get Petty added onto the deal

He needed to leave last year, another year there has ruined him.

Its a very very large no from me.

 

[Scorpus]

Based on this year's form he'd be our 5th best player.

It's a yes from me

This

A fit Clarry feeding it out to Rankine, Dawson , Draper and co. would be a thing of beauty

 

[Slim258]

People throughout pages been talking about not wanting a player like Oliver and similar things like ANB and Cumming not playing to the standard they expect. What they are forgetting is the players they are replacing from the side, Cumming getting 12-18 touches but going at 75% consistently and significant score involvements, rarely makes a mistakes. These players were stars at their other clubs and become significant role players for us. Not everyone can be AA but they can be key pieces in a premiership.

Oliver would come in and be our 3rd, 4th or even 5th Mid, free range to do whatever he wants because he wont be considered the main threat with Dawson, Rankine and Soligo around. He would take Crouch's spot and automatically take our midfield from a B to a A.

It's a yes from me.

 

[Trigger13]

Few shows saying how good our young list is and always follow with are a destination club?
I agree but then will genuine talent come? Not okay we need less is more now. Wonder if we have somone up our sleeve?

I’ve heard we are pretty keen on a couple of Lions forwards (Ah Chee Zac Bailey). Bailey would come at a pretty high cost. But a small forward is exactly what we need.

An A grade mid would be even better. But who is available?

I would debate heavily that Jake Soligo has been our 4th best player all year.

Everyone is available at the right price.
If we met with Ben Williams as stated in the posts above, he represents a number of Crows including Max and Billy who are both out of contract next year.

However, I have no doubt we're asking questions regarding the status of his other clients, ie NWM, Ah Chee - both out of Contract this year. He also represents Redman who we were hotly into a couple of years ago and rumored to be unhappy with the management of his injuries this year.

Bailey would be a huge get, but unless his partner is really pushing to come home I just dont see him being a realistic option. If we are indeed sniffing around though, thats a good thing.

Ah Chee would be a handy get, but probably not a game changer IMO.

Could offer 2 x 1sts for Bailey

Lions can use for F/S, Academy points

Better then compo they would get next year

[Rory Walkerfield]

We need a clearance mid. Full stop. That remains the biggest missing piece to the puzzle.

Yep.

Thus why Clarry is a valid option

**** Redman he had his chance and gave us the middle finger, he made his bed now he gets to sleep in it.

 

[GreyCrow]

We seem to be in that window where we think just one more player will get us over the line

Who that will be I dont know

I think we have 1 or 2 holes holding us back from being elite - yeah yeah we're doing ok

We cant do anything about this year and so we must focus on next year and beyond . And beyond is more important. Tex is struggling and Welsh is a few more years away if ever. If we believe the 3 tall structure is the way to go we need to find somebody to replace Tex

Our midfield is humming along nicely but again will an Oliver be the answer? I have concerns. Not just personal issues but length of contract etc

If he was a 1-2 year recruit ie high end finisher for NOW then sure - but there is too much of the other and we then have to look again in 2028

Our KPD need an extra - and not Petty - Butts and Murray both test the Burgess is elite narrative . Both spend significant time on the sidelines. Sure get them humming and its great but can you trust?

Forward - yes find someone

Midfield - can we do ok with what we have? I dont think we are that far behind others with who we have and if we are talking beyond then I think an Oliver is an overspend

KPD - yes find someone

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Comes across flaky too, great when they are flying but when backs against the wall does his best Madeline Mcann impersonation

 

[Mutineer]

Yep.

Thus why Clarry is a valid option

We don't have Maxxy Gawn palming it down to Carry every week and that's a big part of the Oliver equation re clearances.
