I disagree with the order. Clarry for mine is number 1. We will find out on Saturday. Hopefully it's not Bont!

I disagree Gawny is special no ruckman has ever done what he has done. Clarry is elite but he's not special like what Gawn is and what Flower was.

 

I wonder if there are threads on the Carlton (Weitering), Brisbane (Schache) and Sydney (Mills) footy forums lambasting their recruiting teams for not selecting Clarry

Surely MFC chooses Oliver ahead of Parish.

Oliver is like Wines... a COMPETITOR.

And we’re back.

Oliver is pretty special too. He has lightning hands.

A lot of love for Patrick Cripps. I'm glad he is back to his best, after carrying injuries for a few years.

Anyway, a little stat showed up last night via SirSwamp.

and I thought I would compare Clayton and how he is tracking comparably.

Well, with 13 games before he matches Cripps's  144 matches.

Clayton sits on 877 clearances as of last night.

He is averaging 8.6 clearances a match this season.

123 clearances / 8 as an average = should take him to 15 matches, and just short of the record.

 

I am now on clearance watch. 🙂

Wouldn't rounding it up to 9 be more accurate?

It'll be close race no doubt, hopefully Clarry is aware of this and is a man possessed for the next 10 or so games. In any case, touching wood, Clayton's career seems to be injury free so should have better stats in the end.

 

Round 8 = 885 Clearances - 132 Matches Played

 P Cripps = 1000  Clearances - 144 Matches Played

=115 / 12 = 9.58 per match to equal.

Actually reminds me a helluva lot like Jordie Mckenzie in the way he moves.

This comment made me lol so hard 


He also needs only 216 disposals to hit 4000.

I think the record is Tom Mitchell (137 games), with Greg Williams 2nd fastest at 140 games. 

Clarry is currently on 132 games so he needs an average of 43.2 to match Tom (unlikely) but is very likely to end up in second.

 

Clarry did notch up 2000 Contested Possessions today is his 132nd though, which very much could be a record.

Still only 24...

Genuinely scary.

He actually does though! I saw some footage of Jordie recently and went, “what the…”

Not sure which recruiter brought Jordie in - if it was Cameron or Prendergast. Whoever it was though had obviously looked in to the crystal ball and gotten confused.

Absolutely love Clayton he is going to be remembered as the best ever midfielder to play in the ❤️💙. It’s hard to believe he is only 24 and so self effacing always passes off the compliments to fellow team mates.💕

Sorry, but how is this guy not spoken of as the best player in the competition. Absolute freak, only 24 years of age, if he plays at Melbourne until 32 or 33, he'll become our greatest ever player.

On track for his 4th bnf and 3rd All Australian jacket. Seems to be well regarded in the media these days but certainly is deserving of more adulation. I think he won't get that until he hits the scoreboard regularly, which is a stupid metric. He runs harder defensively which speaks volumes to his maturity and buy-in to a team first mentality.

On track for 138 games making him 2nd fastest to 4000 as well.

He has played 121 consecutive games too, 2nd longest current streak only behind Jack Crisp on a remarkable 173 (10th all time streak).

I agree that the media will claim it is that he doesn't hit the scoreboard, but in reality it's because he isn't doing the finishing, he is doing the extracting and set up, so they don't pay enough attention.

There is a reason he won the AFLCA Champion Player Award last year (and will be leading it again once this week's votes come in) yet the media still talks about Pettacca first.

He is averaging 8.2 per game this season, so it isn't out of the question. A couple of big weeks brings the average required for the other weeks down.

 

Even if he doesn't get it, amazing to think he is in the frame to be second fastest player to 4000 disposals and 2nd faster to 1000 clearances. That type of inside/outside skill mix is unbelievable. For context Cripps will need about 20 extra games than Clarry to hit 4000 disposals, and Sam Mitchell only has 771 clearances to date.

Clarry is very special in his midfield role excelling in lightning quick hands ( quickest in AFL) with amazing skill backed up by pace and good disposal.

Clarry is also the hardest most determined player I have ever seen with an elite competitive attitude. A match winner whose consistency is amazing.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
