Melbourne star Clayton Oliver has signed a monster seven-year contract extension.
Oliver’s new deal ties him to the Demons until at least the end of 2030.
The 24-year-old midfielder is a premiership player, two-time All-Australian and three-time best and fairest winner.
Oliver also won the AFL Coaches Association’s AFL Champion Player award last season.

Melbourne List Manager Tim Lamb said in a club statement: “As one of the best players in the competition, we are delighted that Clayton has turned his back on Free Agency and chosen to commit to the club.
“It shows the faith he has in our playing group and coaches and it is a huge endorsement of the culture we have built under Simon.
“Clayton is an elite midfielder who has shown incredible consistency over his career, highlighted by the three Bluey Truscott Trophies already to his name. He is loved and respected by his teammates and coaches and is a key pillar of our ambitions to achieve sustained success.
“His ability to perform at an extremely high-level week after week is a direct reflection of the amount of work and effort he puts into his training. His training standards are reflected in his performance come game time.
“At only 24-years of age, we are excited to see what Clayton can achieve in the future and we know our members and supporters will love watching him perform in the red and blue for the rest of his career.”
Oliver is the first AFL player to sign a contract extension through to 2030.
Demons teammate Christian Petracca and GWS midfielder Josh Kelly are contracted through to 2029.
