Clarry is a BEAST

Gotta say I’m a Clarry fan like most on here. He’s not flashy, never going to win a prize for being the prettiest player the way he goes about it but he wins the hard ball, does all the hard stuff and even stares down mofos in the crowd when they annoy him. Still young but can’t wait to see how he evolves from here.

    A nice piece about Clarry http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-05-12/star-dees-career-going-swimmingly

    If we needed reminding how good he is: " Since entering the AFL ...Oliver is ranked seventh in the competition for loose-ball gets, eighth for handballs, ninth for effective handball and 10th for ground-ball gets from 2016-18. ".

    And:  "Oliver has gathered 20 contested possessions in a match six times – one more than Patrick Cripps (five) and ahead of Nat Fyfe and Chris Judd (twice) – in that same 42-game period".

    He is in good company - would it be too much to think he might win a brownlow in the next few years...

    And as a forecast of how good he might become:  "I'm way fitter than what I was last year..." ?

    So glad he is a demon and signed up for quite a few more years!

    Didn’t even crack 30 disposals. 

    Needs to go back to the VFL. 

     

    Lol... imagine him playing at Casey. He would break the all time clearance record.

    I can't describe how highly I rate Oliver. We have some very good young players, Petracca, Brayshaw, Hogan etc, but Oliver stands head and shoulders above the lot for me.

    A majority of the game of footy is played in tight, and I naturally lean towards inside types more than others. Cripps is just about my favourite non Demon for this reason.

    Head and shoulders above everyone. Not just the young blokes.

    Still can believe he didn't make the AA squad of 40 last season.

    Should have been in the AA team itself, replacing the overrated Zach Merrett.  This season is just proving that even further. 

    Oliver is also way better than Cripps, who the media loves to drool over.

    In other words, Oliver is the best young player in the game.  Its not even close either. Hes a rare talent.

    Cool your jets there brother. Way better might be going a little far..

    I agree Oliver is a gun, but Cripps is a star in a very average side, he will be made captain next year and be a superstar of the competition.

    I hope Mrs Oliver doesn’t mind me mentioning this but I bumped into her and Clarry’s Dad, at a pub across the road from the Gabba before the game.

    An absolute bubbly and engaging lady she is. All she wanted today was to see a Dee win :)

    In his under 18 year, he switched TAC clubs because his initial coach simply didn’t rate him and said to him “You’re not good enough to play AFL”.

    He changed clubs and the rest is history. 

    Apparently we were heavily considering Parish and Francis but we landed on the great man!

    Clarry would’ve been happy to be taken in the 50’s.

    Mr Oliver is a diehard Hawks supporter but was wearing the Demon attire today. Perhaps seeing Clarry holding the cup might make him a Dee for life!

    • Shut up about Clarry for F@#k sack please. Yes he's going well. The last thing he needs is people saying he's a good as Chris Judd. He's not. Maybe one day he will be.  It's a team game. Getting a lot of possessions is good, but it's not everything.
    • Where would our win be without Tommy Mac tonight, and others? Where's they're post!

    Not sure Mrs Oliver would like her golden haired boy called a beast. He’s more like a magician that makes something out of nothing. Sublime skills in close.

    No we're Demons, not fuscias... and, he is a beast.  a midfield ball possessed beast.

    @Demonland and I were sitting near the boundary line and Clarry ran past us at one point while he was warming up on the bench.

    I yelled out 'Go Clarry' and he looked at me and half smiled.

    I'm never washing my eyes ever again.  

    Maybe you should have half smiled and yelled out " Clarry your carrying the weight of Demonland " !

    I love the comparison to Parish right now. How many years did we get them wrong...

    Yep. And then McCartin vs Tracca as well is looking like a mistake for the Saints.

    Parish will work out ok as a player. Clarry though... hoooeeey.

    At the start of this year I was talking to one of my clients who is an ex-Melbourne coach and this is the point he was making. He's already good but he hadn't even hit peak fitness yet.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
