Carlton Supporters Club

According to recent news, Melbourne is open to trading their star midfielder, Clayton Oliver, with rival clubs already enquiring about his availability 12. However, Melbourne is not willing to part ways with the 26-year-old unless they get the right deal in return 1. Oliver is a four-time best and fairest winner at the Demons and is contracted until the end of 2030 on a lucrative contract 3.

It’s unclear whether Carlton has expressed interest in acquiring Oliver. However, given his impressive track record and the fact that he is still young, it’s possible that Carlton might consider acquiring him if they believe he would be a good fit for their team.

It’s worth noting that Oliver endured a difficult 2023 campaign, primarily due to consistent injury setbacks that cost him half the season 4. He was also out of action from Rounds 14 to 19 and was forced to address ugly drug rumors that spread like wildfire on social media 5. However, despite these setbacks, Oliver remains one of the most talented midfielders in the league and would be a valuable asset to any team that acquires him.

In summary, while it’s unclear whether Carlton should acquire Clayton Oliver, it’s worth considering his impressive track record and potential value to the team.

Yep
It wasn't really meant as a 'one's better than the other, both are tremendous power singers...and it's a personal preference.
It was more about the technology.
I'm still not certain where I stand.
It would be great to hear singers of the past doing songs they didn't record while alive.

But there may be ethical issues that need addressing.
Who benefits financially from the singers 'intellectual property'?
The singer has no control over the music...he may have been very resistant to recording a particular song or genre?
Old band members can 'reform' with the deceased on AI, not necessarily a bad thing.
I understand Lennon's voice has been AI'd to some old Beatles material
But do we want a top 40 consisting of Buddy Holly, Elvis, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Bowie etc singing new material
(I reckon 80%+ will answer yes)  

Implications are also there for actors as the technology advances.
Will we see Marylin Monroe in "Barbie 2"
or
Oppenheimer himself in "Oppenheimer 2"

It's a brave new world

Not sure if you are aware but SAG (screen actors guild) are striking at the moment basically for this reason.

The actors can pretty much be made obsolete with basically current technology. We could have new Brad Pitt movies coming out for the next 300 years.

ChatGpt had Freddie Mercury, Bruce Springsteen, Prince and Bono as the best male lead singers of a band in that 80's era when I asked the question....Steve Perry didnt get a mention.

Perry has an incredibly powerful range – spanning from F#2 to A5. As far as singing goes, he’s peerless and a force of nature at that. Even fellow rockers have nothing but praises for him. Queen’s Brian May even described him as “a truly luminous singer” and “a voice in a million.” Plus, he has a smooth tone and a perfect pitch. He essentially raised the bar for every other lead singer out there with his emotive delivery which gave an extra punch to Journey’s power ballads.
