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.

How good was his contested mark against a more senior and bigger Callan Ward :roos:

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

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.

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.

Viney, Oliver and Wines. Echuca would've had a fairly decent midfield.

With those numbers, how could they not give it to him? 

Well they could find a way....but luckily they didn't........

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!

  • 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.
