So glad we didn’t take parish. Jason Taylor’s best call yet

Ironic thing is Darcy Parish had 43 disposals on Saturday night against Richmond.

Yet didn't even poll a coaches vote.

Stark contrast..

His tackling is also up there as well.  3rd highest tackle average in the team and equal 59th in the AFL.

He is 6th on the all time "tackles per game" list at 5.9.

And he has the highest ever "contested possessions per game" at 15.3 (a long way ahead of Cripps who is 2nd with 14.6).

So he is in the all time record conversation for disposals, contested possessions, clearances, and tackles, yet people think he needs to kick more goals to be one of the greats?

Round 11  (+5) = 910 - 135 Matches Played

 P Cripps = 1000  Clearances - 144 Matches Played

=90 / 9 = 10 per match to equal.

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.

After today he needs 34 more disposals next week to complete 4000 disposals in his 138th game, placing him second fastest of all time to that mark.

Thanks EO, that's a really good write-up.  I can't recall Oliver getting much press at all previously.

It makes it sound like Clarry is from Echuca, but I thought he hailed from Mooroopna (Shepparton).

Probably one of the worst edited videos I've ever seen for a supposed highlight reel. Some clayton isn't even involved in and one is literally an essendon goal. Even the title is wrong. Thought I would share for the lols.

Agree ... very very average! Please do the great man justice when compiling a "highlights" reel.

Agree. It’s clearly a joke.  Surely.

I know he’s currently in London on holidays but the club should arrange for Echuca/Mooroopna’s favourite son to send a message of support for those doing it really tough at home with the floods.

Surely MFC chooses Oliver ahead of Parish.

Oliver is like Wines... a COMPETITOR.

@picket fence

yes we called it … there wasn’t outrage when MFC chose Oliver.  WE WERE VERY HAPPY. He was the player we wanted !! And what a superstar he is.

I was very please when we selected him because he made an unbelievable effort to get fit before the AFL camp and showed he wanted a place on an AFL list.

He was the Morrish medal winner in 2015 so the talent was there but he needed to show he was serious about becoming an AFL player.

A good insight into Clayton’s mindset as well as how cruel the AFL industry can be for young players looking to get drafted. Also some good insights on life inside the club.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
