If memory serves, isn't Clayton on the lower end for minutes played? Maybe that's changed since earlier in the season though.

Still being managed though T.O.G. And you can tell when it's happening, as it coincides with our flat-spots in the centre.

    Another 8 votes from the coaches and hes now sitting 6th on the leaderboard.

    Cant wait to see how he goes on Brownlow night.

     On the couch showed a graph with Danger and Martin on 27 with Clarry third on 18.

    Will be top 5 of he plays well in last 4 games. 

    Needs to work on using his kicking oppressed to turning backwards looking for a handball every time.

    So if Martin gets suspended then Oliver may have it in the bag

    You know what's funny about this? The one time he didn't do that on the weekend, he got run down in the last quarter..#notfair

    Ha ha yeah. Just needs to be careful that he doesn't become so predictable to opponents plus he has a good burst and is a good kick.

    i reckon Clarry might be leading the BL by round 8. 

    cant get over how good this kid is. how did he build up such a tank in one pre-season where he apparently turned up in not great shape?

    Clarry might poll a lot better than the media think, kids ultra consistent

    And as a team we haven't really suffered any blowouts.

    46 contested possessions in the past fortnight. Against two big-bodied mid-fields. Insane.

    Can someone with Twitter ask Champion Data what the two-week and three-week records are? (This question was asked re. tackles earlier in the year and quickly answered).

    I personally think Zach Merrett will be right up the pointy end as well.

    One very determined dude we have there.  Willed himself to do it.  Well done Clarrie.

    His drink driving was probably the best thing that happened in a football sense as he got the kick up the bum he needed, and worked hard to repay the clubs faith will be scary to see what he can do in 3 years, will be dusty and danger levels imo

    We should lend him the club Corolla with some bourbon & colas in the glove-box. Imagine how good he would be with another kick-up-the-bum? Add a few more indiscretions and he'll eclipse Dusty in no time.

    Not sure if the umpires are big on the quick handball clearance.

    I think Oliver will poll very well. I think he could even be a danger to Martin.

    He polled 2 votes in his first AFL game...I think they see him and he gets votes.

    Clarry is just taking the pizz with those numbers

    by the way how did he not make the team of the week, do they only put players in from a winning side, had a much better game than coniglio who made the bench

    What a great stat - I just text it in to SEN to try and get some media love for him - not that I listen to the show... maybe someone listening can let me know if its repeated on air.

    Beware - if Clarrie was getting too close to the bookies' favorite in the next few weeks*, the MRP would be instructed (by the Integrity Department no less) to find some tiny indiscretion (maybe a high tackle they could deem deliberate and dangerous) to ensure that the chosen one wins.   The media and the gaming / gambling industry call the shots at AFL HQ.

    * and I do not believe the BS that they always spin about all votes being locked away at Chubb or Mayne etc.  They know. Maybe Gil gets the duplicates.

    If Oliver won the Brownlow, I don't think I'd be able to stand the masses' cries of "Stager! Diver!" Gah, I'm angry just thinking about it. But it probably won't happen, this year at least. Will be nice to watch the count with Dees players wracking up some good numbers for once though.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
