“Clayton Oliver has felt during the year – and increasingly so in the last few weeks – that he is undervalued and unwanted at Melbourne next year and beyond,” he said on 3AW.

“It’s had him questioning whether he will be back at the club for pre-season at the end of next year.”

Melbourne later released a statement to Wide World of Sports, saying Oliver remained a “required member” of the club moving into next season.
