Lot of anger from both side this morning. Can we at least all agree that neither Geelong nor the Dees want to pay 10 mill over 6 years for the current version of Clayton? Hence why no deal can ever happen as ultimately the only winner is going to be Clayton’s bank manager. The Dees tried to clear up salary cap space from a bad contract and get something decent for there investment l, fine no worries. Geelong tried to take advantage of a bad contract to get a very good player(at his best) for as little as possible, again who wouldn’t. Contract details ultimately couldn’t get a deal anywhere near done as the cats and dees were approaching it from different angles. Fine, it’s over, that’s business.

 

[Moo]

Dees is going to be a happy place to be around next year.

They seriously need to clean out the decision makers.

Shit show.

As expected, Cats can’t get the deal done.

As expected Melbourne asked for a r1 for Clayton's contract and were laughed out of the room which was always going to happen. What were the idiots at Melbourne thinking they could get that?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

We already were anyway,

Despite them all thinking they have no skin in the game and nothing to lose they're fairly wrong

The Bulldogs can do whatever they like but Smith is coming to Geelong.

 

[rapidfire7]

what I don't understand is how the MFC let it get like this?

Any idea what was discussed in terms of paying Oliver? If that proposal included Melbourne paying a fair chunk of his salary then it doesn’t seem so bad.

We've been saying this for two years lol

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

There are dumpster fires and there is whatever the **** Melbourne are. The place needs a complete gutting and restart

Lots of conflicting information indicates that nothing solid was ever proposed. Never got to that point

I think we would have tried to make that work if it was the case, reckon MFC thought they'd get close to a full return on Oliver. Oh well back to "well love Oliver here" & try again next year.

 

[SSSSSS]

Lol WTF is happening at the Demons.

I understand Danger rang the Suns several years ago and got the same result

Melbourne have backed themselves into a corner on this one. Hilarious of them to think they’re going to get full value without paying any of his contract. Looks like Dees fans are just as delusional as the apparent teenagers running the show at Melbourne

As opposed to your mob who thinks they're gonna get him for a packet of Twisties and have the Dees pay half his contract?

Mmmmm…

Still rather be in the position Dees supporters are instead of crows and freo supporters

Atleast they’ve tasted a GF victory this century!

I hate this argument. My statement is about the now. Yes, I would suffer a clib on fire for a few years if it meant getting a flag

 

[volcboy]

As a Geelong supporter, given the financial and cultural risk of taking on Oliver, I would have accepted paying a current or future 2nd round pick with Melbourne picking up 200-300K of Oliver's salary.

Probably a long way from what Melbourne wanted, so happy to let them keep him if that isn't enough. I suspect that it won't work out well for Oliver at the MFC going into 2025 unfortunately...

Classic three way trade.

I actually reckon there’s merit to this three way deal, but I’d tweak it.
Close stays at Geelong
