Melbourne's unbeaten start to the season is already paying dividends, with star midfielder Clayton Oliver<\/a> reaching an agreement with the club on a new deal.<\/p>\n

Oliver has been locked in for a further two years, with the new deal to see him through to restricted free agency at the end of 2023.<\/p>\n

After a tumultuous 2020 season for the Demons, Oliver was linked with a move to Carlton during the off-season but has now recommitted to the club.<\/p>\n
