Melbourne star Clayton Oliver departed the Demons’ pre-season training camp in Lorne on Monday night as he continues to deal with ongoing health issues, reports The Age.
The situation adds to the midfielder’s tumultuous off-season which included intense trade speculation with Oliver at odds with the club’s standards.
Oliver underwent a minor knee procedure post-season but hit the training track earlier than required for Melbourne’s pre-season campaign.
