ClaytonOliver2019Review.png 

Clayton Oliver had the most contested possessions in the league, showing an incredible ability to win the hard ball for someone of his age. He racked up 30 disposals and averaged 19 handballs per game in 2019. He is known for his fast hands in congestion and was one of his side’s most reliable performers for the year and won his second  ‘Bluey’ in 2019.

Maybe we should fill our forward 50 with murky water and let him boot the ball over it. 

Still believe he can reach greater levels and it’s quite scary to think what it will look like. So glad he’s ours.

Clarry is the best at everything ever even kicking when he deigns he's the second messiah end thread. 

 

i think you should highlight that we won the longest kick competition too!

if he learns to slow down his approach to the game then i think he could get even better

he could be, if he's not already, the best midfielder we have ever had


Magnificent thus far in his career. I am less critical of some about his disposal. If players spread from stoppages I reckon he win find them A Grade and well deserved.

Clarry what a Star, what a great selection for MFC.....!!!!!!

Didn’t have his best year and still tied for the bluey.

For the record I would back Hunt to kick further than him in a torpedo shoot out.

 

His game needs more refinement. The club has to find away to maximise his talents and  ball sharing ability. He did a lot for little impact. Not so much his fault as poor midfield chemistry.

Love Clayton, great get by the MFC.

Didn't think it was his best year to date but...

Taking from these 2 posts if we can get the midfield chemistry right, better spread, we get better use of his ball winning talent.

I think he will also hit the scoreboard more as he learns when to take his shot & have the confidence to do it.

Both he and Gawn could be so more damaging. They are generational players. Up to the coaching staff to maximise their impact.

In the back half of the year I would have liked to see Oliver being played as an outside mid simply to improve his kicking and awareness. The game results were irrelevant and most were losses anyway so not sure why there was not more thinking towards 2020.

Clayton is a machine a robot and will enjoy his success's for years to come. His season was not of what his capable of IMO he can be  a little cleaner with with hands and be able to kick more goals in a season.

I believe in 2020 he will be able to take the next step now that he has played 80 odd games.  Now that is quite scary.

He had a good year (not great), but needs to use his run and carry more. He's explosive, but too often hives the dinky handball rather than busting through packs.

Hopefully Burgess can get him to work on this, and then the coaches can convince him to use it. He's quick; you just wouldn't know it because he rarely uses it.

Coming back from two shoulder clean ups and considering the season other players had around him, a very good year from our young gun.

With a more fit & in form Viney, Tracc likely to play alot more time through the mid and some additional outside options to link up with in 2020...we just might see our first Chas medalist since 2000.


Love this guy

needs to hurt the opposition more with his disposal

Gun player who may very well be our next Brownlow medalist. Crucial player in our bid for a flag(s) over the next five years. Can be a bit of a dique sometimes. Needs to iron that out.

  • 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.

    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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
