AFL: The Trading Day panel analyse the Clayton Oliver situation after Melbourne's list manager Tim Lamb denied Clayton will be traded.
“I think we all agree it’s been a shambles, the way that this whole thing has been handled,” St Kilda great Leigh Montagna told Fox Footy’s“The whole year for Melbourne has been a shambles, and it continues to be the case with some of the comments — it’s been a tricky situation.”
“I would think that it destabilises Clayton, because he thinks ‘you’ve told me one thing and you’ve done the other thing’ — and that’s the worst possible situation, because it breaks the trust between a coach and a list group and the player himself,” Ralph said. “ if they’re going to decide ‘no, we’re all chips-in again and we’ve all fallen in love with each other again’ ... then just do that — then squash it.
“It’s going to take some sort of effort for Simon Goodwin and this football department to get everyone buying in and being on the same page for them to have another crack at a premiership ... Do they have it mentally to be in the right headspace?”The 287-gamer placed the spotlight on one man to cultivate a togetherness at Melbourne to elevate it back into flag contention.
