No issues with Clarry, we would be in big  trouble without him.

from the highlights it looked like he might have gained some speed over preseason?  he has always had a burst but it looks more pronounced now and lasts longer.

Just watched the highlights of his game on the club website. 

The boy is quick. It was very noticeable.   Hes so bloody exciting.

    As I have said before, he plays a different game.

    Multiple efforts, flat out attack on the ball, repeated exhibition of the quickest hands ever seen, perpetual motion.

    He might just be too good for his team mates. In time, they will learn to understand his plays better and will anticipate his delivery.

    Great that he caught the eye of the coaches, scoring 4 votes:

    10 Patrick Dangerfield (GEEL)
    8 Tim Kelly (GEEL)
    4 Clayton Oliver (MELB)
    3 Jake Kolodjashnij (GEEL)
    2 Luke Dahlhaus (GEEL)
    2 Tom Stewart (GEEL)
    1 Mitch Duncan (GEEL)

    From the other votes I'm guessing Goodwin: 3 and Scott: 1.  The other 3 votes went to Kolodjashni who didn't stand out to me on the telecast so I reckon they were from Scott for doing the job assigned to him.

    Oliver appears to have a sense of coordination and balance above and beyond that of most football players, and certainly far better than members of the general public. I’ve noticed time and again even when nearly upended, Oliver’s extraordinary sense of balance enables him to know exactly where he is in relation to the often chaotic environment in which he is placed. An extraordinary talent, a talent worth $$$$$ in a few years time!

    Oliver is a potentially great kick. I say 'potentially' because we never really see him kick effectively - he just long bombs. Its pretty pointless, not to mention lazy. Oliver should be held to higher standards than others. He needs to find the balance between when to handball, and when to hold onto the footy, find space and execute effectively.

    Keanu Reeves and Gordon Sumner. 

    Why do you feel a need to respond like that? I asked a genuine question because I am not familiar with those nicknames.

    Neo is a character played by Keanu Reeves in a movie called the Matrix and Stinga was the nickname for 90s MFC midfielder Stephen Tingay. Why l felt the need to respond like I did initially? I've done some self-reflection and I'm genuinely not sure.

    Thanks for explaining, Skuit. It's somewhat difficult for a French resident to understand all that goes on inside the club and in this forum. Lots of things go over my head.

    The whole team kept bombing it in on Saturday night, not just Oliver. We were nowhere near careful enough going inside 50.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
