    One could, reading the last few pages, easily forget that this is a Clayton Oliver thread.

    Mods - how about setting up a pinned "personal abuse and bickering" thread?

     

    I agree. All threads should generally contain more comments about people commenting on other people's content, and whether it is acceptably close to the title of the thread or not. That is the type of quality people come here to read and moderators should be enforcing.

    Q. In your mind, if someone mentions the MCC or anything not specific to the title, and I have a response, do I have to go start a new thread for it? Or is it possible that maybe your brilliant mind can tolerate a slight, brief deviation from the topic you were just reading? Is that really so much to ask of you and your busy schedule?

    You've become a bitter old man way too early, Stak. Cheer up mate, we haven't even lost a game yet. 

    I responded to this and it was deleted. Apparently one person blatantly trolling another is fine but defending yourself is not.

    No, it's abuse that's not. And any further hijacking of this thread to whine about deletions will, of course, be deleted.

    Back to the thread... this bloke looks like a serious socks-down footballer. It's such a relief not see stick figures out there wearing the red-and-blue. Who knows how he'll go, but he's a chance

    I genuinely believe he could be our best midfielder in a couple of years time. Even better than Brayshaw and Viney (I see Petracca as more a fwd/mid)

    You know SWYL, having shared a few beers with you during the broadcast of a game, and sampled your fiery (passionate) disposition when the Dees play, I never pegged you as a MCC member.

    I think your implied stereotype of an MCC member is way off beam.

    I will take your word on that.

    Don't want to hijack the MCC thread, but does anyone have info on whether Oliver will play on ball, or will he play across half forward this week?

    Great opportunity to give the kid a real taste of senior footy over the coming weeks.  I don't see him getting a gig in Round 1 but he'll know a bit about what it takes at the highest level and hopefully spur him on to earn his spot early in the season.

    Will be nice to see him tackle Wines or ToumpAs into the ground this weekend

    Every chance to be this years smokey and play more games than expected as Brayshaw did last year.

    I am an MCC member but also get the MFC membership to support the footy club.  The way I see it the club needs my membership and I give the MCC membership a flogging during the summer.  Big Bash, test match and ODIs for me and the young fellow add up to a heap of attendance.

    There are a high note number of MCC members who religiously take out a MFC membership as well. In the MCC reserve there are the same passionate supporters every week we play there, packing the Reserve when the often other sections of the ground are nearly empty. I never miss a Dees match at the G where in contrast I haven't attended a cricket match in 49 years of MCC membership.

    Back onto Oliver, I can't wait to watch him debut this Saturday as we towel the Power and, like many on this thread, see him playing as many games this year as Brayshaw did but having an even greater impact. Shame it's not at the "G" but still fun down the pub with a few mates over a late counter.

    Not sure it was RFPC that accused Hogan of being a mercenary, think it was the Nut but could be wrong.  Don't care really.

    Not guilty .....

    I don't know why the MCC members, the ones who fork out the most every year to see the Dees play, are considered to be the least knowledgeable supporters

     

     

    I'm an MCC member and have no knowledge whatsoever...

    Excited to see Oliver this weekend. I think his performance will be similar to the intra-club match. Have an impact and win a lot of contested ball in first half but tire in the second half.

    The guy is a monster. His number one asset as a player will be the ability to get his arms free and handball over his opponents to our team mates. Will be a contested beast.

    Really excited to see Clayton get a run, very happy to eat some humble pie and admit i think we made the right call choosing him over Parish.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
