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!

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
