Clayton Oliver Contract negotiations

Watched the replay last night.

when clarry gave away a stupid free kick near our goal square the the second quarter I was really disappointed.

within a minute or so there was a cut away of goody having just spoken to clarry who had been immediately benched, with the sort of expression you have when you have just questioned someone about something and searching for an honest answer. Iā€™m sure it was a conversation about team versus self. Clarry responded by tapping goody on the body - I expect along the lines of yep ā€œIā€™m good coachā€.

50 years of disappointment means Iā€™m trying to keep a lid on it, but Iā€™m very excited.

im seeing a connected team - both with themselves and the coach

im seeing a team that is maturing enough to change things on the field.

im seeing a team, that once it gets a couple of key forwards back doesnā€™t really have a major identifiable weakness (unlike even the best Melbourne teams Iā€™ve seen)

im seeing a coaching group that seems to identified their own strengths and weaknesses - ie goody on the bench to engage the players, and yze in the box helping to identify the trends of the game and adjusting on the run.

im big Kev right now and it feels very unnatural, and Ā as a lifelong tragic it doesnā€™t sit comfortablyĀ Ā Iā€™m waiting for the disappointment to come.

but I really think all the reasons to be positive are true!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last yearā€™s grand finalists.Ā  Well, it wasnā€™t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer.Ā A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.Ā

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
