Yeah I just think it was a really interesting choice of words from Mackie.
You could tell he was trying his best not to lie.
He hasn't completely shut it down and from what I could gather still thinks this is a chance of going ahead, but it really is up to Oliver now to force Melbourne's hand.

year of the cat has had pretty good info on this so far and not long posted that Oliver is not likely to pursue a trade now.
Oliver and Smith together would have been a bit of a leap into the unknown in terms of off field management
Our so called ‘culture’ May have taken a big hit if things went sideways . Happy to let Clayton marinate in the demons fishpond and see what develops.
maybe get him for chips next year…
There are always disagreements within a football on who we should trade for so who knows. I'm just reporting what I have been told.
St Kilda coming hard
As if Oliver's manager hasn't made it perfectly clear to Mackey where he stands by now.
For politeness, considering we facilitated a meeting for them- The Clarry team would want to stay in the good books just in case -anything can happen in future seasons.
Mackey appeared to be telling the truth- it's up to Oliver. I say call made either way.

My take on this is that the only reason why he is staying with Melbourne is because we don't have the picks to satisfy them.
If we did, then he would be gone quick sticks, it's just Pert didn't count on Oliver wanting Geelong. He was probably hoping he would go to Crows (Which he was linked to last year) and the Crows have pick 4 or someone like Saints/Tigers who will have a good draft hand.

I think Oliver will realise that he's been burnt twice now by Melbourne shopping him around.
Pettraca and Pert since the end of the season (while not publicly) made it clear they want him out. He is not wanted by Melbourne and if it wasn't for his contract, he would already be out.
Geelong's point of view and given Oliver's age, it either happens this year or won't happen at all.

Another Melb club is in play with Oliver. I'm still getting told certain higher ups at Geelong don't want Oliver here
Interesting. I haven’t heard this. All I’ve heard is we are deeply into him but over the weekend haven’t had any updates. I think Geelong are playing their hand face up. Melbourne are just completely volatile and unpredictable. I wouldn’t be shocked if they went and traded him to a desperate Melbourne based club prepared to offer more… if they can convince Oliver. But imagine if they were to say now, “oh, North want you by the way… so…”, they’ve snookered themselves.

They'd want to be pretty damn sure that Oliver was fine to be traded somewhere else - or we'll get him for a firesale. All his manager would have to do is turn around and say 'this is the third time you said he won't be traded, now you're in talks with the Saints to send him there for a better pick, Oliver wants to go to Geelong and will not return after your repeated poor conduct.'
Honestly, the best thing they can do now is call it a day and revisit this next year. Don't see Oliver pushing if Melbourne don't say/do anything else.

How did I find out Ollie Dempsey was Christian?
He thanked God in his rising star speech, went to Carey Grammar and he had a Bible verse written on his wrist in the finals.

Happy to have God as a supporter
They believe they are one star player away from a flag

Gary Rohan is a premiership player

Hall of Famer
I agree, Bailey Smith trade gives me bad vibes too. I really hope the club has undertaken a rigorous due diligence process.
"Marked the ball like WAYNE CAREY"...Gary Rohan is a premiership player

There WAS something in it, but it seems to be as flat as a paper bag now.
There'd have to be a seismic shift for it to happen now you'd think. He's committed to a 6yr contract and it seems Melbourne are determined to hold him to it.
Hard to see how that all changes. Further to that is the fact that Oliver hasn't officially nominated Geelong.
