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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
