I reckon pretty boy Butters can now be known as a grub of our comp.
Dumb, weak & a slow learner…

Pretty boy?
Head like a half eaten pineapple

Yeah thought that was an odd call too, head like a watermelon helmet

No mirrors in our joints…

Petty signs 2 year extension with Melbourne.
You’d think Adelaide long term offer was removed? Otherwise a strange decision

This might make more sense now with reports the crows are still into Clayton Oliver

Would you take the risk with him?
I’m not sure I would

[MW]

From what they said (Footy Classified so probably wrong) Melbourne would be paying a chunk of his salary still so if thats the case I would take the risk

Certainly not at 7 million

Not old enough yet to go to Geelong.

[Brodlach]

I’d certainly take the risk

[marbles]

are there any other players in the league right now that a former club is still paying a percentage of the contract?

[Brodlach]

Grundy

Wouldn't touch him myself and if I was Adelaide I'd stay away. How do you think he'll go in the Adelaide fishbowl?

[Dutchy]

A reminder you are not only taking on the player and the dollars, but also a 6 year contract.

He would be worth the risk if it was 2-3 years.

[marbles]

Grundy

hahahahaha so the demons could be paying for grundy and oliver lol

[Brodlach]

Grundy

hahahahaha so the demons could be paying for grundy and oliver lol

I actually think Collingwood would be paying some

[marbles]

Grundy

haha yes that just struck me too. probably the pies long term contract?

[Booney]

Grundy

Did Collingwood get "out" of that deal when Melbourne on traded him?

[Booney]

It would also be worth the risk if Adelaide didn't have Dowling, Soligo, Berry and Taylor emerging with Rankine and Michalanney likely to spend more time in there. Massive risk.

Pretty sure the deal was between Grundy and Collingwood, not Grundy and Melbourne, and they're still liable.

[Booney]

Oliver reportedly on $1m/year (+/-) for 7 years through to 2030.

So Adelaide would pick up a 6 year deal with you'd expect a price tag of around $700-750k per year assuming Melbourne are paying $250-300k per year and bring Oliver into a market that will see him face more external pressure and scrutiny than he ever has in Melbourne.

Wow.

[tigerpie]

Oliver would be under more media scrutiny in VFLcentric Melbourne.
Coming to sleepy old Adelaide might do him the world of good.
