Step 3: Read responses to these comments.

Step 4: Laugh.

Gosh some people are pathetic.

"if he gets drafted to bombers i am gonna cry"

Clayton Oliver replies with: "Why?"

"Cause essendon will actually draft someone gun cause your a jet"

"Soz for the confusion, looking forward to having you on my supercoach"

Yeah, right.

 

What gives me the [censored] is our club hasn't leaked one little bit of info.

I want the old Melbourne back where Motor Mouth Connolly would open up with, tonight we will pick Jordon Gysberts, I assure you he will be better than our priority pick and pick one in a couple of years.

I want those leaks NOT!

I would suggest that in fact something HAS been leaked.

In the last few days it's suddenly been all aboard the Oliver train

i can't recall if it's already been suggested, but has anyone seen/read oliver & olisik at the same point in time?... last night's interactive social media session that oliver had on FB just had me asking a few questions..... if so, hi olisik! if we do end up drafting you tonight, it's gonna be pretty sweet having your insight into the dees for the next few years!

If Olisik is Oliver then I no longer want him.

When St Kilda overlooked Petracca and GWS took Plowman instead of Toumpas there was strong word in the last 48 hours before the draft that a change in thinking had occurred. This year it feels different. Not one journalist has listed Oliver as our first pick and done so with any authority. I wouldn't be surprised if they were using the meeting mentioned in the article above as the basis for their selection of Oliver. I still think we'll pick Parish.

 

I don't get it

Im pretty sure he ment the back peddling some of those flogs do.. alot of fat jokes and when Oliver replies to them (in a lighthearted way) they back peddle pretty bad to the point where you could see them go red in the face.

Exactly.


Good article on Oliver here.

States how we met him at his home after the draft camp and that we were a lot nicer club to talk to than Essendon who ripped into him.

What a bunch of flogs!

Melbourne considers Clayton Oliver with first pick: Plays like Ollie Wines

Inetersting - if true - that according to the article most clubs rate him no 3

The player we just 'had to pick' has been Parish and when there has been the player 'we had to pick' we have picked Watts, Morton, Scully, and Toumpas...

I have developed this affliction to ask 'who is the better player taken at 15 or 20.

Maybe Clayton Oliver is that better player usually taken later?

i think we are all haunted by the ollie wines catastrophe

i won't be surprised if we go clayton

if so i'd love to know (after) when the decision was basically made

correct, edited

Why would Parish slag off Essendon and say Melbourne were really nice?

Maybe we told him we are going to take him?

All I was saying is that Quayle, Twoney and Anderson all sound like they're making educated guesses.

This is what Landsberger said on the morning of the 2012 draft:

After SuperFooty revealed this week GWS would pass on SA gun Jimmy Toumpas with its first three picks, the Dogs suddenly had the option of taking Bendigo Pioneers captain Ollie Wines. But it seems Wines, touted as possibly the second-best player in the draft pool, could slip as low as pick seven - and even then he creates a headache for Port Adelaide, which is also keen on home-grown talent Sam Mayes.

And Jay Clark said this last year:

ST KILDA will crown Paddy McCartin the No.1 draft pick, believing the full-forward is the man to lead its list rebuild.

The Herald Sun understands the Saints have settled on the 194cm goalkicker, who has been likened to Hawthorn spearhead Jarryd Roughead.

See how the language is far more definitive. That's what I mean by making their picks with 'authority'. They happily suggested they had the inside word and they did. Not so this year.


It could have gotten out of the Dons bag with a guess that we'll take Oliver... Dons then take X and Y leaving us with the Wiedeman.

Melbourne considers Clayton Oliver with first pick: Plays like Ollie Wines

Oliver won me with this comment: “I do pride myself on being competitive. I always have ever since I was little. I just see the ball and want to get the ball. I always want to win. I never want to lose,” Oliver told Fox Footy...“I think they (Melbourne) like my inside work, my clean hands, work at the stoppages and competitiveness.”

I like the maturity in that...proud of his strengths and nothing egotistical about it!

The words underlined would be music to Jesse's ears...he made similar competitive comments after the RS award.

With that attitude Oliver will fit in nicely with the commitment our your brigade have made to winning.

For too long it was ok for our players to accept losing/floggings.

Can't help but think there is a new breed in Demon town!

I would suggest that in fact something HAS been leaked.

In the last few days it's suddenly been all aboard the Oliver train

Tend to agree C&B if it does go Oliver and Weideman you'd have to suggest that there was a leak somewhere, or they've all guessed correctly which is very unlikely. It would be funny now if they were all completely wrong. Would just go to show once and for all that they are all just guessing.

I just see the ball and want to get the ball.

Interpretation is funny isn't it? How often has the above been used as an insult against a player...

It could have gotten out of the Dons bag with a guess that we'll take Oliver... Dons then take X and Y leaving us with the Wiedeman.

Feels to me that its our choice Parish/Oliver and the bombers will deffo take the other. Then Francis is the clear best of the remainders, so the top 5 is pretty locked in.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
