Haven't seen this posted anywhere else but Jack Watts was on radio this morning about Oliver: "He can do it all. I was with (ruckman Max) Gawny last night and he was sitting in the (coaches) box

You're way off the mark with the Parish/Morton comparison. I'm a huge Oliver fan but the rose coloureds don't extend to denigrating Parish who is a great young talent and on his way to being an A

Does anyone else think Oliver is really good value at $34 for most brownlow votes of any Melbourne player?

Max Gawn and Viney obvious dangers but $34 seems pretty good to me?

As you know Wrecker, I am not a betting man - but if I was that'd be as good a punt as I'd ever get.

The kid is gun, plain and simple.

Good game and nice to see him getting a lot more of the ball through to the end. Still has a lot of work to do defensively, a prime example was priddis goaling in the second quarter. Oliver was ball watching after the centre bounce while priddis streamed forward and had 30m space. Tried to catch up but was too far behind.

West Coast were on to him early, if not a tag then they were watching him very closely at the clearances.  Played a lone hand in the midfield until Jones moved in there in the last.  Best game he's played.

Super talent.

His hands are great but it's also nice to see him becoming more damaging with his kicking.

Such a strong core for a young fella as well. The tackles he stood up in broke out of last night were excellent.

At $34 that is certainly worth a bet.. However on Crownbet his odds are $51 !! Couldn't resist

not anymore. I tried for the $51 and they wouldn't take my bet and then moved him in to $15.

$51 was available for me and I didn't have a massive go. I tried to put a bet on and the screen sat there thinking for ages and they eventually let me have $20 on it and wouldn't allow the rest of the bet. Then I noticed the odds had been adjusted.

Clarry's clearly been the best of our mids this preseason , with Salem and Brayshaw looking like they'll go up a level this year.

Viney Looked a little subdued , maybe saving it for the real stuff.

No disrespect to others but Clarry's impact with ball in hand already makes him our best midfielder. Its now all about game and quarter consistency and when a tag shifts to him (which it will very quickly) how he goes. The addition of his outside work we are starting to see shows how quickly he is developing. Lock to be in the pivot round 1 first bounce against saints I reckon.

Not so much tagging but I've noticed even last year that oppo coaches were aware of Olivers impact around the clearances and have put a lot of work into him.

They try to block his path to the ball but he's still getting plenty of it and he will learn to get plenty more.

Imagine Viney not getting a tag though, because he can't break one, whereas Clarry will be able to. It improves our midfield and gives players like Viney and Tyson a few extra moments to get rid of it.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
