ADMIN EDIT: This has been debunked. 

 Please take care when posting rumors. 

Apparently the young fella damaged his shoulder and has already had it operated on. 20 week rehab to follow.

Fingers crossed I’m getting a wind up...

    He had both shoulders operated on in 2018, if he required further they would of had it done weeks ago. unless of course he has injured one again, but I am tipping jjj has been hoodwinked.

    Was the surgery before the BnF? If it were, he would have his arm in a sling.

    His arm wasn't in a sling at the BnF.  Seems to be a fair bit of doubt as to whether this is true.

    20 weeks? Find that a bit hard to believe, unless he's had a car accident or something. They're not even training yet.

    I suspect this has as much veracity as the old story about the cannibal who got home from the pub so late for tea that his missus gave him the cold shoulder.

    Oliver has a history of shoulder surgery.  September 25, 2018:

    Oliver 2018 shoulder surgery

    "Clayton injured both his shoulders during the year and will require surgery... Oliver will not begin contact training until January at the earliest.   "He was unable to complete many contact drills at training in the last two months, so to perform the way that he did in that period is remarkable."

    That was 12 months ago.  Last year he had the surgery after the bnf.  Could be the same this year.

    Absolutely amazing that he played so well in 2018 with those injuries

    And his performance in 2019 equally as amazing if the shoulders have again been an issue.

    It is conceivable that he needed work again.   But would like to hear more than a rumour.

    Two days before the BnF he also won the longest kick competition. 

    If he has had surgery, it must be due to injuring the shoulder after the kicking comp and BnF. I smell a BS rumour though.

    Hopefully your post sums up this topic - a bad joke.

    I believe last off-season he had two shoulder reconstructions.  However, they needed to be done separately, which is why his recovery took the whole preseason.

    There's every chance that he went in for a clean-up.  Very much doubt that he's had another reco without the club saying something; there's no way you can keep that secret.

    Rumours of severe injuries are the worst type to even post online.

    Why bother?

  • Quote

    The club wouldn't have let him trounce around Europe with Trac and Salo if there was even a hint of a serious shoulder injury.

    I'm going to lock this thread for the time being. No need to spread a rumour with nothing to back it up. I've PMed the OP for more information. At the very least I want to confirm that this doesn't just come from a friend of a friend of a friend. 

    If this was a first time poster and not a long time poster then they would be immediately banned. 

    I'll reopen this thread if more information comes to light. 

    Unless this is a brand new injury (ie: last week) I can't believe this wouldn't have been acted upon before he went on vacation. 

    Methinks the OP has been hoodwinked. A reminder to all to not post rumours especially if you can't verify the credibility of a source.

    Screenshot from Clayton Oliver’s Instagram Story.  Video doesn’t show Clayton as he’s taking the video. Last shot of the scorecard most likely proves he didn’t just have surgery.  Rumour Debunked.

    Someone watched joker recently... 

    How'd you find it ET?

    A young man with a few hours to spare one afternoon figures that if he hurries and plays very fast, he can get in nine holes before he has to head home. As he is about to tee off, an old gentleman shuffles onto the tee and asks if he can join him. Although worried this will slow him up, the younger man says, “Of course.”

    To his surprise, the old man plays quickly. He doesn’t hit the ball very far, but it goes straight. Furthermore, the old man moves along without wasting any time.

    When they reach the 9th fairway, the young man is facing a tough shot. A large pine tree sits in front of his ball, directly between it and the green.

    After several minutes pondering how to hit the shot, the old man says, “You know, when I was your age, I’d hit the ball right over that tree.”

    With the challenge before him, the young man swings hard, hits the ball, watches it fly into the branches, rattle around, and land with a thud a foot from where it had started.

    “Of course,” says the old man, “when I was your age, that tree was only three feet tall.”

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
