Melbourne have emphatically shot down rumours that there is tension between star midfielder Clayton Oliver and the AFL club, saying it’s simply not true. Oliver is contracted to the Demons until the end of 2030, but Melbourne briefly considered trading him last year and his future remains a hot talking point. The 27-year-old is averaging 23.5 possessions and 4.33 clearances this year — both the lowest since his debut season of 2016.

Goodwin, who is battling an infection, is expected to be back in time to coach the side in Saturday night’s crunch clash with GWS at the MCG. The Dees are optimistic ruckman Max Gawn will be given the green light to face the Giants. Gawn hasn’t played since suffering a chip to the base of his right fibula against West Coast two-and-a-half weeks ago. His absence was especially felt last week when Melbourne lost the clearance count an astounding 47-16 in a 50-point loss to Fremantle.
