Brett Anderson just tweeted me back an emphatic Oliver to go at 3/4 to Dee's. Looks like that ones a given. Question now turns to 7

    If we take Oliver I'll be a bit smug because as soon as I saw his highlights (I know it's hard to read a lot into them) I rated him highly.

    We all will.

    As if we were the only one who did.

    The difference is when I saw his highlights he wasn't rated a top pick.

    Is that a difference?

    I think most people thought the same.

    Still find all this last minute interest in Oliver really unusual. Have to wonder if this is some kind of plan from Essendon.

    Mark Neeld would want Parish over Ollie wouldn't he

    not sure if already mentioned, but oliver actually has a persistent/chronic groin issue and didn't train much his year, as in he just rocked up to games and played. (three of my mates who are getting drafted next year who play against and with him told me this).

    A bit risky imo

    Don't forget I agreed with you soon after...

    He has been doing a pre season program given to him by the bushies and one on one work with a personal trainer aswell.

    His body is injury free.

    The suggestion that our interest in and decision to select a particular player in the National Draft being dictated by another club is absurd in the extreme.

    Let me ask you this, what plans have Melbourne made for other clubs to select which players?

    Olisik just had one of the all time great orgasms. Well done son.

    Oh, and welcome Clayton. I reckon you'll be a gem!

  • Quote

    alright lets hope this pick works out. SEN said his mum is in tears. I hope thats because her son got drafted and not because melbourne got him.

    Looking forward to seeing what this kid can do.

    How long until there is a thread saying we should have drafted Darcy Parish? Too soon?

    I was thinking of starting tonight

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
