@10newsfirst: Star Melbourne midfielder Clayton Oliver has spoken candidly about last season’s trade period, where he was almost moved to the Geelong Cats. Oliver admitted he understood being on the trade table following an injury hampered 2024. “I understand, (I’m) obviously paid a fair bit to play football and perform at a high level. And I wasn’t doing that,” Oliver told the media today. The Demons begin their season in round one at home against the GWS Giants, with Oliver’s star midfielder running-mate Christian Petracca also primed for a strong return for the club. #claytonoliver #afltrade #melbourne #geelong #afl #10sport
