    We have no media department.

    We do, but they are obviously thin. They managed to film a video piece featuring Checker drinking a sponsor’s product.... clearly  a matter of prioritisation. 
     

    maybe it is the way of the future though - the players have all made a fuss of Clarry on social so perhaps that’s a low rent way to celebrate the occasion nowadays.

    Interviewed by Ben Gibson as part of ‘Demons lock in first side of 2021’. As a normally young man of few words was articulate and quietly confident. A highlight reel is also there with Clarrie ‘kicking’ the ball a great deal. (vision of the complete champion!)

    Upwards and onwards Clayton! 
     

    May your next ?for the MFC really scale the heights and attain the ultimate fabled grail.

    • Grapeviney changed the title to Clayton Oliver’s 100th - no puff piece, no profile, no promo

    He played a little bit too cute today, needs to take the first option more often, use his good footskills rather than rely on the handball. Still nice to see he got the pill though

    Of more concern right now is the joint is empty 20 minutes from the bounce. Cannot for the life of me understand why we don’t have 40k+ here.  Embarrassing 

    Yes, it was a disappointing crowd.  I wanted to come. But after considering the 17,000 km distance, $8,000 airfare and two weeks’ quarantine, I decided to give it a miss. Slack, I know. Seriously, i just wish I had the chance to attend.

    35 disposals for the game. 

    10 kicks and 25 handballs. The part of his game I was hoping for an adjustment over the summer.

    The most unfairly disrespected superstar in the league. 

    We're not likely going to see a better first 100 games for a long time. 

    Well done Clarry - now sign that contract!

    Should have led the team out yesterday Didnt, Should have tossed the Coin yesterday Didnt, should have been hoisted on someones shoulders in acknowledgement of probably the best first 100 games ever. Wasn't, Massive question WHY NOT??

    What argument are you trying to win here?

    The club loves the bloke, he is plainly the future of the joint, and I expect they’re desperately trying to get him to commit to a long term deal.

    So what’s your point? They should should be being more naff, more cliched, less cool?

    Pretty sure all that happen when a player plays 200 games,  not 100.

    Really hope they can get a contract sorted during the season. Would be a massive set back if we lose our number 1 midfielder.

    He's a gun and as have everyone on here has done we have enjoyed every one of his 100 games.

    I don't need Robbo to tell me he's good. He can kneel down and slobber all over the Dusty Martin statue he's put up in his backyard.

    What did he have Oliver ranked at again?

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
