Clayton Oliver will face his former team Melbourne for the first time since being traded to GWS.
## What happened?
Oliver was traded to GWS in the last year's trade period, with Melbourne entering a new era under coach Steven King.
The 28-year-old has returned to form, averaging 32 disposals, eight clearances, and five tackles per game this season.
## Why it matters for Clayton Oliver
Max Gawn, Melbourne captain and close friend of Oliver, admits the trade has worked out well for both parties.
Gawn will treat Oliver like any other opposition player when they meet on Sunday.
Oliver has been instrumental in GWS's success, including an 81-point win against the reigning premiers.
## What comes next?
Gawn says Melbourne will have a plan for Oliver, who will likely have a plan for his former team.
The match will be played in the Northern Territory on Sunday, with Oliver facing his former teammates for the first time.
And Gawn jokes that Oliver thought he would get away from Alice Springs, but the Giants are scheduled to play there.
But Gawn is looking forward to the challenge, saying it will be fun to play against his close friend.
The trade has been a win-win for both teams, with Melbourne bouncing up the ladder under King.
So Oliver's performance will be closely watched, as he faces his former team for the first time.
## Key statistics
Oliver's form has been impressive, with the 28-year-old averaging 32 disposals per game.
GWS has benefited from the trade, with Oliver filling the void left by Tom Green's torn ACL.
And Melbourne has also benefited, winning seven of their 11 games this season.
But the focus will be on the match between GWS and Melbourne, with Oliver facing his former teammates.
The match will be a test for both teams, with Oliver's performance likely to be a key factor.
