Agree.

Not enough love for Jason Taylor and his recruiting team for biting the bullet not get sucked in by the hype Twomey and likes spruik out.

Just gets his hands free every time. He has time that others dream of. I think the comparisons to Voss are quite apt, but there's quite a bit of similarity between he and Cripps. Our bloke is just doing it a lot earlier and has that quick burst of speed that Cripps doesn't have.

Agree his ability to get his hands free is uncanny. But he gets his hands up high and shoots off a handball, did it 5 or so times today, amazing. Must have big hands to hold the ball so high and unload, Voss didn't do that so often as I remember.

Was that the one on the wing where he wrestled and tossed his opponent aside?

Yep

His clearances in the start of the last quarter were what got us back into the game.  

A clearance beast. 

Love him taking on the tackler and getting off a clean handpass.

Awesome.

And he hits targets with those handballs. Something a lot of our guys have struggled to do in recent times. He's been a breath of fresh air.

I'm not sure what I thought of this guy when we drafted him, but, I'm damn sure now. Clarry, your a gun, through and through. W.O.W. !!

The irony is that, in contrast to the Wines vs. Toumpas debate which raged on this site for years, both Oliver and Parish seem to be the goods judging from yester day's respective debuts!

Imagine when he is fit enough to spend more time in the middle along with Petracca , Brayshaw and  Viney?

Stop dreaming, the premiership could be a reality in a two to four years time.

Yep, we looked so much better when he was on the ground in the middle. More game time = more win for sure!!

I think this thread needs more people claiming to have pegged Oliver as a superstar upon first reading his name on Big Footy.

Congratulations all of you people, it'll be a travesty of justice if you haven't all been handed gigs as AFL recruiters by the end of the week.

Early days yet, but he does look the goods. Certainly looks like he has top end talent.

He's my favorite player and is already our best inside player. Not surprised our clearances drop off when he's not in there contested and releasing his teammates.

This kid is special and we f*cking nailed this draft pick!

Seriously, the kid is incredible. You only have to look at the way he burrows in and wins the contested footy and knows how to fire out a handball over opposition players to one of our running players into space. His awareness is on another level, not many players have that in the AFL. He is very similar to Cripps but more athletic and explosive.

I love Clarry!

Nice article.  Spot on with the facts and adjectives.  So glad Clarry is ours!

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
