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

7 Ben Keays (ADEL)
7 Paul Seedsman (ADEL)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
