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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
