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!

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
