    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?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
