.......................Not give a damn. I don't need a board of selectors to tell me if he is in the best 22 players' in the league or not. I know he is, and he plays for us.................

When is the AA team actually announced?

And you're right, if Oliver doesnt make it there will be riots.   Sadly I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't make it as its the same idiot selectors who failed to even put him in the squad of 40 last season.

Roll my eyes as media favorites who had inferior seasons are selected ahead of him.

Then return to my daily hunt to find Matthew Nicholls and end his existence.

Still flies under the radar for opposition supporters    They all know big Max   but no idea of Clayton Oliver.

Will be  No 1 in the league next year    Go Dees !!

.... remind myself that the AA selectors will, whenever there is a toss-up between several players for the same position, reward the "big" club with selection.

Oliver is so far ahead of the competition it doesnt matter.

Thread topic, sounds a bit presumptuous, conspiratorial and cynical... he will be in.

my essendon 'mate' hates him. reckons he's super over-rated and just racks up the possies with rubbish handballs. says that his kicking leaves a lot to be desired. i just laugh. i've about given up sending him highlights packages of him. just keep asking him how parish is going. LOL.

While I get this line of thinking, it's not about you or me. The bloke should get the credit he deserves, and he deserves an All Australian jumper to tell his grandkids about. The first of many I'm sure, and will sit nicely besides a few B&Fs, a couple of premierships and a Brownlow.

You don't think you might be just a little biased?

Many football experts have him on the pine with 'more deserving' mids starting.  Fair enough.

But if you were picking a side to play for your life, you would have him starting on the wing instead of Gaff/McCrae, because he matches them outside, AND trumps them inside AND going forward too.

 

These footy experts can't think beyond their nose.

Both Clarry and Maximus absolutely have to make it.

I can see why Gawn might as he has been the stand out Ruckman this year but why Clarry?

yes he has had a good year for us but in the position he plays there are a large number of very good players.

It is like the Mid fielders award there are some very good players scoring votes every week.

Pretty sure the whole squad of 40 would be there, even the interstaters.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
