Anyone else cringe for a second when he gets the ball thinking it's McKenzie? Might take me a while to get used to it.

Nar if Clarry Choo Choo is the ultra sleeeeeeeeek monorail number I have depicted 

Jordy Mc Kenzie is the "Little red Caboose behind the train"!

Clarry Choo Choo masquerading as the "Oliver Express" is meaner much meaner than some of the characters in the classic movie

"Midnight Express"

This thread just keeps on giving. Where's Dee-luded at?

Yes where is Deeluded? 

 

I was looking at the pics at training today when this occurred to me - if Norm Smith was the Red Fox, maybe Clarry is the Red Bull.

How lucky are we to have two young beasts like Oliver and Petracca?

It's like having Wolverine and Captain America, throw in Viney as Iron man

Need a small man for AntMan. I can visualize Kennedy in ant man mode.

See!!!!

Clarry Choo Choo gets changed to some crappy name and away from the cold iron name Clarry Choo Choo and he misses to a weak corky.

Lumumba is Black Panther,  Frost the Winter Soldier naturally.. 

Will be missed around the ball this week. He's already very important to us around stoppages so hopefully he is back in next week.

Viney is The Punisher.

When he learns to kick more precisely he will be an absolute gun. I made the comparison with Michael Voss when he first arrived and he seems to be vindicating that more as he gathers games under his belt. His first instinct is usually to hand pass, and he has sensational hands and vision in traffic. I wonder whether kicking has become such a non-proffered option because he is less confident or doesn't have time to clear traffic and balance himself. His hands and vision in packs are so good that maybe he is not ready or prepared when he gets clear. I am very excited about this guy! And he tackles for keeps!

When they're all fit and firing Imagine how scary it will be for other midfields to face Jones, Viney, VDB, Petracca, Oliver, Trengove, Bugg, Kennedy, Tyson, Vince around stoppages time and time again. Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch! No let up. The Swans have this now and the Hawks and Cats have had it in the past. Midfields full of GRUNT!!!

Absolutely will be missed LT. I hope Dom is in for an absolute cracker. 

Whilst I do like Oliver for the Rising Star still, I'll now concede that if Petracca can play the remaining games and play like last week, it will be all his.

Tyson has played well against Port in the past, IIRC. I believe in his first season with us he earned 6 Brownlow votes against them.

Saw this as well, but I think the poster meant Vanders. No confirmation at the moment either so I wouldn't look too deep into the story. Clarry should be good to go for this weekend and for the rest of the season.

I thought Clarry performed very well on Monday his 16 possesions were classy, in close and insicive. I particularly loved his bone jarring Tackle in the last quarter I think it was when he "Rag Dolled" some poor Magpie player and buried him almost into the underground car park! 

That plus mid 20ts "Selfless Acts"

Clarry Choo Choo/ Oliver Express stopping no stations.. Luv ya work son!

What does that tell you??  Besides the fact his original tilte was "Cool"?

He doesn't need to get a heap of it, but he more often than not gets the contest going our way

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
