#Fun fact.

I'm not sure that it's directly on topic, but I just saw that the name of the Queensland Education Minister is Grace Grace.

I'm currently in that state. I think the humidity is getting to me.

I am sure it is not relevant in any way, but since you bring it up the QLD Health Minister is / was Ms Death (or D’Ath).

Flower was the single best footballer I've ever seen wear the Red and Blue. I think Clarry will have him covered if he plays like this for another 6 years+

The only blight on Olivers game are the overreactions he does to any form of high(ish) contact. You know, the fake spewing and stuff. It is not a good look for someone as hard at the ball as Clarry is.

Not sure about faking it. He gets more than his 'fair' share of opposition attention. Not sure how you fake a spew... 

If the opposition gets the chance they forken smash him.
And he always gets up.
Clarry's as tough as they come.

Agree. He is targeted* more than any other Demons' player.

Her real name is Ignazia Graziella Grace, called "Grace" for short.


Grand Final? It was the Grandest Final.

How long ago has Clarry done this ?

2019? 2020? 

Clarry had grown out of it. 

I'm still waiting for Bont to be singled out for his head knock on Oliver in the Gf. It's been a while now.

He did it against Richmond this year after pickett's goal. He's as tough as nails and may well be our best player ever but he doesn't mind milking a free. Most players do it.

You don't watch him enough.

He does it often, and will again in the coming season.

You know how a cat reacts when you stick your finger in its mouth? That dry retch thing they do? Clarry does that all too often after high or heavy (illegal) contact.

 

Watch him more closely and you'll see what I mean.

Well to be fair to Oliver,  they should keep their fingers to themselves. 

I rewatched all the finals and the preceding games since our last defeat and it is obvious to me the inclusion of Bowey and Ben Brown were the last pieces of the puzzle required that made us a premiership side. Bowey’s clean disposal and clever decision making over Hunts spectacular but often error ridden play made our defence “no weakness” and Browns contesting and ever present danger freed up our forwards  and midfield to score heavily which we couldn’t do previously.

At 3/4 time in the GF, Oliver looked like he was about to collapse. I dispute that he fakes getting hurt. He cops plenty of savage hits but always gets up even if it’s up to an 8 count. He has remarkable toughness. Reminds me of Rod Grinter who copped heaps but always got up.

During the finals he got hit in the back of the head by Selwood and hit in the side of the head by Bont, both players seemingly apologised to him. They wouldn't have if they thought he was faking, they both knew that they had hit him and it was an instantaneous apology.


Any mention of Fox Footy doing the Grand Final Recall?

Late in the season he stood under a couple hospital balls and copped knees to the kidneys.
I nearly had heart palpitations with the finals looming.
Had been our best player for the year as far as I was concerned. 
If we needed something it usually started with Oliver going to work.

People forget that Balls was on the receiving end often. Gave as good as he got.

Gee it's not far away now.

It's a tough job selecting from a fit list. I understand Adam t is doing well. I wonder if round one is too soon for him.It's hard removing a gf player for him and anyone else for that matter.

I would think Hunt is an auto in but again tough to break up a gf winning side.

Not sure. Possibly young Jake b but he played so well in the granny I'm not very sure.

Good question.

The Dogs in 2016 ???

I was hoping the Dogs won in 2016 as much as if we were playing but I enjoyed the Swans victory over WC with the Leo Barry You Star Mark. Great Game.

Unless you listened to Hunt regularly you wouldn't know who TF had the ball or WTF was going on.

I remember watching Melbourne and Geelong live while listening to him on the radio.
The way he was carrying on it was hard the believe we were actually watching the same game.

Listening to the Footy on a cold winters day making Spaghetti with my Nan one afternoon she had to ask me what we were listening to.

  • 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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
