has become a GIANT on the final day of the 2025 Continental Tyres Trade Period.

The GIANTS completed a trade with Melbourne on Wednesday evening, sending a future third round pick to the Demons in exchange for the midfield beast.

A three-time All Australian and two-time AFLCA Player of the Year, Oliver is widely regarded as one of the league’s premier contested ball winners. Known for his work around stoppage, as well as his vision and burst in transition, the tough and physical 28-year-old will add further firepower to the GIANTS’ midfield.

Drafted by the Demons with pick 4 in the 2015 AFL National Draft, Oliver is a four-time club best and fairest winner and across his 10-year career ranks elite in disposals, handballs, tackles and clearances. The premiership-winning Demon joins a star-studded midfield brigade already boasting some of the competition’s most exciting midfield talent, adding further depth and class to the GIANTS’ engine room.

said he was thrilled to secure Oliver. “It’s a fantastic result that Clayton has chosen to continue his career at the GIANTS,“ McCartney said. “He’s an extremely talented player who will strengthen our list and will thrive in the program, culture and environment that we have to offer. He is exactly the type of player who can help us take the next step in our journey toward success and we’re excited to see his future unfold in the orange and charcoal.”

As part of the trade with the Demons, Oliver becomes contracted with the GIANTS until the end of the 2030 season.

 

[Land of the Giants]

What a coup.

Well done to all involved.

 

[Colonial]

Another case of massive upside and no downside due to lack of risk.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Not that he'll need the motivation, but we can use the line from Moneyball ...

"[Melbourne] are paying half your salary. That's what they think of you. [Melbourne] are paying you [700k] to play against them."

 

[Orange crush]

Are we aware of exactly how much the dees are paying or is it something we’ll never know ?

 

[Colonial]

Seems we know his number too

Except that's his number at Melbourne and Oliver Hannaford is currently in the number 13 at the Giants.

Unless Oliver H is happy to change numbers, C Oliver will need a new one

He wants 10 doesn’t he?

 

[Giant Strides]

Why?

 

[Giant Strides]

Why?

I presume that's a joke on the illustrious history of jumper 10?

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Ah, I see it now. I was working off his current handle and missed the pertinent detail. My bad.
