Oliver has another perfect 10!

And taken the lead!!  One of these days he will get the recognition he deserves from the media and the rest of the industry.  And, hopefully from umpires when they do their Brownlow voting.

The votes for Keays and Seedsman show where the damage was done by the Crows

    Watch the umpires somehow give Tex the 3 votes and 2 to Clarry. He was a completely different level to anyone on Saturday, almost dragged us singlehandedly over the line.

    Strange way not to just say Oliver's Perfect 10 nabs him outright leader. Instead they take the opportunity to worship at the Bont's feet.

     

    Wow! That’s blatant favouritism right there.

    The competition doesn’t appreciate Oliver because he is not a poster boy. But my god he is an elite player and I don’t give a flying f who does and doesn’t rate him. He is a star and he is ours.

    Fantastic effort by Clarry.  A consistently brilliant season thus far.  Not at all surprised that Tracc doesn't feature on the leaderboard.  I think the over the top adoration of Mark Robinson and the crew at the Herald Sun regarding Tracc's season thus far is somewhat misplaced.  He's played in fits and starts, has had a couple of truly powerful performances and had many games with the odd moment.  That there is substantial improvement in him, and to a lesser extent Gawn, is what gives me hope that this might be our year.  But that aside, a great accomplishment thus far from Clayton. A deserved leader!

    I’d take Clarry over Trac every day of the week. 
     

    Christian needs to lose the friendliness/smiles/chats towards the opposition.and get a touch of mongrel in him. Leave that buddy krap for off field.

    Can't be many who score a perfect 10 in a losing side.

    There’s an add on SEN promoting the game this Friday and it mentions a handful of stars from both teams and Oliver isn’t one of them. It sort of sums up the lack of appreciation for him across the board and that includes some Demonland members who until he had signed on for another couple of years were not worried if he left or not, because  inside midfielders are easy to find. Well ones as good as Oliver are not easy to find, he’s a gun and will still get better.

    Mongrel is essential; that sense of self and teammates bound together across a field of play.

    Since day one, I’ve always thought Oliver had the potential to be our best player in the last 50 years. A hell of a thing if it happens considering the company in this team.

    He’s having a better season than anyone else going around right now. I’m glad I put money on him at $17 for the Brownlow.

    Feels like the penny has dropped a bit where he's realising he's bigger, stronger & quicker than almost all mids

    Oliver is awesome - there weren’t any Demonlanders last year willing to trade him re Blues.

    AWESOME!

    Or after the game.  I noticed that at the start of the second half and thought at the time it was a terrible look.  I agree on all fronts.  White line fever needed when the game is on.

    Had it on a string, literally. The ball would just bounce up for him perfectly. One of the primo efforts.

    His kicking has improved out of sight, not only is he kicking the ball more which is great, he's becoming one of our better kicks imo. 

    he's a very special player.

    • 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?
