[Lucifers Hero 39,819]

Oliver has another perfect 10!

Amazing effort

[Pates 9,660]

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. 

[Deeoldfart 8,033]

What a competitor he is!!

His post match interview sums him up perfectly ........ he hates to lose!

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. 

[Swooper1987 3,322]

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! 

[ProperDee 1,698]

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.

[deebug 1,754]

Well done Clarry?

[Demonised 1,354]

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

[ANG13 2,063]

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. 

[Garbo 1,536]

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. 

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

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.

[The Swimming Dee 1,904]

I think Saturday night’s game was the best he has played...it was an amazing performance!

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

Reminder that Oliver is still just 23 years of age.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,842]

Could have as many as 21 brownlow votes after round 10.

 

[adonski 12,160]

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

[D4Life 2,475]

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.

[layzie 33,814]

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

[Kozzie4PM 765]

Kicked 5 goals in the last 4 games as well - perhaps becoming a goal kicking midfielder.

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

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.
