AFL: Melbourne are reportedly open to trading Clayton Oliver after a disappointing year for the Dees.
Rival clubs’ interest in Melbourne superstar Clayton Oliver — and the public silence from both the Demons and his management — has the potential to blow up this year’s trade period.
Described by Dees champion Garry Lyon as a “generational midfield talent”, Oliver looms as the potential centrepiece of this year’s trade period. And many clubs would be interested.assesses how all 17 rival clubs would be placed to make a possible play for Oliver — and what they’d realistically need to be prepared to give up to get him.

It still feels like Adelaide is one midfielder short, and with the club charging back into finals contention, it’s no surprise why the Crows are among the clubs that have already been rumoured to have interest in the superstar on-baller. A report has already stated Oliver would be prepared to join the Crows, too.
Damien Hardwick sensationally said the Suns already have 80 per cent of their next premiership side, so could Oliver near alone make up the rest of the 20 per cent? Gold Coast does hold the all valuable Pick 4 – yet expendable to it – to potentially use in a deal, though it can’t afford to give away too much more given the club’s need for draft points for its academy prospects.

It came as the likes of Newcombe, Day, Worpel and Connor Nash stepped up with extra responsibilities to lead a promising new-look on-ball group.
