Why Oliver is More Dangerous Than You Think

Whats funny is that the guy Essendon took at pick 5 behind Oliver, Darcy Parish, is finally having a breakout season but  is still a about three levels below Clarry who is now a footballing god.

Moving up to pick 4 to get Oliver was a stroke of genius.

    Jake Melksham is 6th on that list lol

     

    The Player Rating model is a bit of a joke.  Most of the best rated individual games in the list are forwards kicking bags when their side won by over 100 points. Oliver was herculean and would be sitting alone at the top if the system worked.

    Sorry Mr Landsberger but I have always know Clayton is dangerous.  Would love to see him hit the scoreboard though.

    Surely, we could slip Clarrie into the forward line for just one quarter, per game? The deeper, the better. He is getting bashed and held, every match. Takes it like a champion. If they do this to him under the umpires' eyes without umpire adjudications, imagine the frees he'd get before goal. Gawn and Clarrie, the two most 'thugged' footballers in the entire AFL playing lists.

    It is time for the team to step up to his standard.

    We have had a successful year to date. Largely, this success is due to Clarrie and his influence on Tracca and Jackson, forming a trio par excellence. Sadly, I feel that the rest of the team has left him to carry the weight of the season. The rest of the team has - to a considerable and recurring extent - let him down. This is a team - it has shown this clearly, earlier in the season. It is about time that 'team' support and the macro-endeavour that is required are blended with Clarrie's game, style and intent.

    This is nonsense. Clarry is my favourite MFC player of all time, but you didn't watch Mitchell closely. He was constantly on the bottom of packs and had brilliant hands. He was every bit the extractor. He was not an outside mid.

    Clarrie's game against the crows was something that Mitchell could only dream about.

    There is no comparison to Clarrie's dynamic running, ball extraction from packs and inventive, literally "over the top" handballs.

    Have watched highlights only but the only team mate who has figured out Clarrie is Langdon who seems to receive an inordinate number of handballs because he runs with Clarrie and positions himself to assist on the outside. Clever.

    The rest of the team should look and learn and so should the coaches.

    I think Clarry can be better in the long run than Mitchell because he's got that elite burst, but Mitchell is a legend of the game.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
