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 !!

.......................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...................that's all i need to know.

.... 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.

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?

Announced tonight. Live coverage on the AFL website from 2030

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
