Clarrie the goalkicker

A little flashback to the not so distant past. This is round 23 v Geelong at GMHBA Stadium and highlights Clarrie’s two goals.

The first is quite amazing, like Moses he parts the Red Sea and finds the way to the goals. It’s not as if it’s accidental - he’s done it a few times in the past couple of seasons. How does he do it?

    What I find noticeable is that he never rushes it. Neither of those kicks and few if any of his other shots from play seem hurried OR hesitated. It's actually really impressive despite being completely undramatic.

    "No dramas" Clayton, that's our guy.

    That is the greatest Melbourne victory of all time. To come back from 44 points down was remarkable.

    It was the beginning of the greatest streak I have ever seen. After that game bang, bang, bang

    This is the final missing piece of Clayton Oliver's game that he needs to focus on more. Kicking goals regularly.

    We all know how much of a fantastic midfielder he is with his hand balling. Furthermore, Clayton's kicking around the ground has improved significantly. In fact, his whole finals series was magnificent.

    The final hurdle for him is to become a regular goal kicking midfielder. If Clayton can start kicking 2, 3 or 4 goals a game on a regular basis then he will probably become as good as, if not a better player, than Dustin Martin. Therefore, making him not just a star but a superstar of the AFL.

    Let's hope besides continuing to get fitter and stronger and improving his kicking that Clayton also looks to doing more work on kicking goals on a consistent basis.

    It will be a very close Best & Fairest count for the Melbourne Football Club this 2021 season with so many standout performances. However, I still think that Clayton Oliver should win another Demons Best & Fairest over Christian Petracca, but only just!

    In the end it is all about winning Premierships and I feel that Clayton is definitely hungry to win more Premierships for the Demons! On ya Clarrie! Time to create a Demons Dynasty!

    Despite a small blip against the Bulldogs,  from that point that Oliver kicked that first goal Melbourne became one of the most dominant teams in football history.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
