When Oliver was drafted an Essendon mate said what were we thinking drafting him ahead of Parish and found it funny. Today I messaged him and said, "would you still take Parish over Oliver?" - his response, "Oliver is Too slow and poor disposal"

How do I reply to that! Best answer will be used!

Just delete him and block the number, you don't need dumb people dragging you down.

Oliver is not slow he is quick you just don't see it because his a 1 touch player, he does not kick much but he is a great kick, parish is a average footballer to skinny, and I have said from the start parish  is no good and Will never win a BF.

https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/clayton-olivers-sensational-skill-shows-why-the-demons-arent-fazed-by-his-high-handball-numbers/news-story/41f7546b5f45374e26f18d22db0c98d8

"Oliver has averaged 28.1 disposals per game. He ranks elite in terms of average handballs (19.1), contested possessions (16.6), contested possession rate (58.9), ground ball gets (11.7), and score launches (2.1)...The thing is — he’s not a bad kick either. Oliver’s kicking efficiency of 65.1 per cent has him ranked above average, while he also ranks above average for effective disposals, with 20.3 per game. He also averages 4.1 inside-50s, 0.4 contested marks and 0.7 goal assists per game — all ranked above average".

It is easy to forget how good he is in so many (every?) aspect of the game.  Deservedly, in the conversation as one of the very best young players.  Now regularly being compared to Cripps and he is right up there with other elite young players.

We have a truly elite player (Ie one who consistently delivers at an elite level over an extended period of time) in our midst? 

 

Oops!  Just noticed a new thread has been opened on this.  Mods can transfer if they wish...

Don’t reply. 

Your mate is suffering enough being so incredibly stupid.

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
