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

Yup. He only needs to get a fine to cop auto week.

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.

Yeah thats right and Clarence just happens to be 67/1 atm.

 

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.

And then again he might not. 

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: 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.
