Love how he gets the knees up. Stopped just short of us seeing an AFL coach plant feet on the wall trying in vain to rip a railing apart on National TV. That would have been priceless!

Reminded me of some WWF Wrestler getting ready to go up to the top rope to deliver a huge forearm on some poor unfortunates Sternum!!

    Oliver is the pinball wizard. Gets plenty of hard ball and loose ball with his quick reflexes. Doesn't always damage with his disposal and goes unnoticed coz he doesn't hold the ball long quick disposal his forte. Often the one two tree four links are lost at another point in the trail so not as damaging.  He also doesn't shepherd and jogs off the ball so can allow space for opponents.Nouestioning his work rate which is consistently forged in the boiler house but he gets no release with umpire protection so can fatigue  and be less effective.

    Love him and when he is on we are a lot better. The coach should use him as a barometer. When he's good he's very good when he's off he should be taken off and rested.

     

    That's the old or previous Clarry!

    Now plays both inside and outside (like Trac) and kicks and handballs  with much precision and care now. It's not the no care and no responsibility Clarry any more.

    Its very much the Trac like Clarry get ball and accelerate out and then carefully dispose of the ball to a teammate but mixes it up with his superb handball skills.

    its all about maximising possessions for the team benefit now!

    Still won't get as many Brownlow votes as Trac  probably, even though he has ginger hair!!!

    Yep and doesn't it improve results.

    Hope the coach and other players reinforce this and continue to maintaining n the momentum to success.

    His slight build compared to others is deceptive. He is a hard nut and strong enough to extract. 

    I do think that his effort is outstanding although it sometimes seem to fatigue him which reduces his defensive work.

    Needs to be managed with time in the engine room moderated.

    Significant part of our mid field team strength.

    True DP Very very Happy to watch another near decade of this midfield if they play like they are now. Plus Jacko!!!

    i get his frustration

    There were I think 4incidents if below the knees

    The sidebottom one where we got the free. The Viney one where got the free, The Fritsch one at the top of the square in the last that wasn't paid. And another that I cant exactly recall where a free wasn't paid to us

    The rule was brought in for that 'front on contact' sliding like Lyndsay Thomas and  Goodes used to do. That is the one that has potential to break the legs of an opponent

    Diving on the ball when the ball is on dispute was never intended to be part of that but it has somehow crept in through mis-interpretation.

    Absolute rubbish post 

    Olivers a star pure and simple, very few 23yo have done what he’s done

    Sick of the armchair critics continually picking his game apart

    In my opinion he’s better than Cripps& the Bont, but we’ll never hear that

    It's another Burgess influence. Clarry was interviewed briefly after the Adelaide win and was asked something along the line of his improving performance and he said Burgo wanted him to take 5 quick steps if he received the ball and wasn't under immediate pressure. If you look at the last 3 games it's obvious that's what he is doing and it's allowing him to kick more. Simple but genius.

    Thanks DW thought Clarry May have seen Trac  now do it on ball and realised he could also as had gitness and training bade to do the same 

    Yes Burgo that's a definite genius tip.

    And our whole midfield has turned on it's head as we have 2 inside And outside bulls (Clarry and Trac) now plus much more rated outsider in Gus who likes time  and space To dispose.

    Jack still ferocious and he also is much more composed and kicking beautifully. Did 2 or 3 beauties in front of me at the Gabba yesterday. He is steading like Hibbo and disposal is VIP now.

    BTW I keep including young Jacko in our midfield as his ball gets after ruck work and 2nd and 3rd follow ups are elite.Rarely wastes a handball and Kicks on the run fine. Such a future has he Cant  wait till he plays 50 games wow how good!

    Its all a half glass full let's hope it continues as We don't really know where this journey may take us!

    Just win the next game each week and concentrate like that and our position will take care of itself.

    Yup, I can relate to that as well.

    Regardless of how the rules are interpreted was nice to be on the favourable end of the umpiring decisions this week.

    Not sure why you say rubbish.

    i agree with you that he is underrated, I think wizard reflects that. It's difficult to pick his game apart coz it is such high standard, usually fast and reactionary. I still reckon he gets no protection from the umpires, which shows how good he is. I said he works in the engine room and that is meant as a high compliment.

    i did say he sometimes doesn't put on pressure but I acknowledge and maintain it is because he is often recovering from the high ntensity work he has done., and I only said that and all other comments as to why he is underrated by opposition supporters.

    personally I don't care what opposition supporters say it's more important that we recognise he's a star and that our coaches look after him and use him well coz he is one of the significant part of the team that can have prolonged success for the next ten years. That's why your right mentioning his age.

    Point of order ... The filth headquarters/training facilities are in Olympic Boulevard, not Swan Street. 

    But the filf fans didn't know what a boulevard is.  Street is much easier for them to say and even try to spell.

    FWIW . . . 

    • I trawl the different opposite forums, mostly looking for patterns and themes. Oliver was not mentioned in any of the fora this week that I can recall. 
    • Most fora degenerate into 'group think' and latch on to a weekly theme. Only natural and fully human to do that I think.
    • A significant percentage of supporters at most clubs dislike their coach, footy department, head recruiter, president/chair and the AFL.
    • I would say most opposition supporters that voice an opinion about the Deez, voice a negative one.
    • There is almost universal respect for Max. I think I can only remember one derogatory comment this year.   

    fully human?  Not even partially on that forum.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • 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.

      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?
