    Seems Carlton and their supporters are looking forward to this one because of Lewis and Hogan's strikes last year.  Reckon it will be hot early.

    We played them again later in the year and beat them by 2 goals (ANB to Lewis with 30 seconds left who kicked a goal).

    Both are outstanding players and will be stars of the competition for many years to come. I'm more than happy with Oliver, but I suspect Cripps might benefit from having some quality around him and from getting a full season in.

    If the 2013 draft was re-ranked Cripps probably sits top 3 with Kelly & Bontempelli - a fair few clubs would be regretting not taking him with a top 10 pick.

    Oliver is surely the best player from the 2015 draft by a fair margin - thanks Sydney for matching our bid for Mills.

    If you listed a Clarry v any other player in the comp, I would choose Oliver.

     

    Yes, I'm serious.

    Oliver...for obvious reasons. He's MELBOURNE

    That other fellow plays for scum.( Goes ok though ...no silverware for him )

    Let's see if he, Cripps, goes out onto the ground on Sunday, in a manner that was to be expected to be required from him, from Gerard Healy's team. after last year's skirmish.......supposedly.

  • Quote

    By my reckoning it's 2-0 to Cripps with one wipeout, but that's somewhat expected given young Clayton was taking on a senior footballer. But now that Clayton is a mature young man, he should be able to hold his own at clearances and his superior speed and kicking means he should be more damaging overall. Both great players. Oliver closing in on superstardom.

    2016 - MCG: Blues win, 18-year-old Clayton schooled by Cripps who gives Gibbs a birthday treat.

    2017 -  MCG: Blues about to win with Cripps unstoppable before the elbow of Jordy intervenes. 

    Etihad - Evenly matched until Jayden intervenes to send Cripps on his way.

    One is an absolute superstar of the competition already, and has a lot of elite footy ahead of him.  He will go down as a club best.

    The other?  Well, he is the above too, but has a little bit extra.  What's that?  He wears red and blue, and he does things with the football that I've never seen any other red and blue player do.

    Will be worth the price of entry this weekend just to see these two doing their thing. Feels a little like a heavyweight bout with Cripps holding the belt and the brash 20 year old seeking to take it off him.

    Game time this season is interesting, as is metres gained. I think they are both great players but given the choice I would take Oliver every time. He is the best young player I have seen.  ---Table from footywire.

    Just wonder if Lewis can do it again?

    A man of his experience and football know-how will be familiar with ground revisited.

    It's still the same target (jaw), at the same location, elevation and physical topography, so I reckon we could set him a task for this weekend and he would not need a map and compass to triangulate such an impact, surely?

    Thank the football Gods we took Oliver and not Darcy Parish.

    I believe this is when we perfected the drafting science. Whatever Melbourne would’ve done in the past, do the opposite.

    Well Clarrie is an emerging super star.  I've had too much red to even contemplate Cripps, so Clarrie wins hands down from my pov.

    No poll disappointing. Clarry is better by a long way this year. He will be AA while Cripps won't.

    id take parish over both clarry and cripps, if we're choosing who would make the best altar boy.

    I feel like there have been a lot of highlight touted juniors who have struggled to live up to their pre-draft hype over the past decade.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
