Hands down the best player I have seen in red & blue.

 

Except for one R Flower I would agree!

Scary thing - he's getting better.

 

Unravel the mystery of the best player at Clubs not being with AFL Flags. Probably near thing in most cases. 

To think that Clayton Oliver is only about 25% through his career. He is still only quite young at about 24 years old.

He can only get better. I can imagine him playing well over 300 AFL games too for the Demons.

He is an absolute super star and hopefully will have the desire to win many more Premierships at the Demons and be one of our greatest players ever.

Love ya Clarrie!

Without meaning to be a downer, I’ll be surprised if he makes it to 300. He’s a human battering ram whose arms already have to be taped on by his dodgy shoulders.

I’ll settle for him leading the dynasty until he’s 28 before he starts to struggle with injuries though.

Go the way of Nat Fyfe but with a trifecta of premierships maybe.

In the latest Gus and Gawny, Gus describes Oliver as "...looks like superman, no-one can tackle him".

It will be scary for the opposition to have two immovable forces in the middle who can both turn on the jets at will.

Is he better than Trac?

He works harder I reckon.

I think he is but it's close.

Great to have the two.

Deceptively strong. That footage of him being tackled by two players and he still gets a decent kick in was freakish.

Genuinely, my memory has it as 3 tackling him..

Can spend 2 or 3 years up forward winning games with goals after he has finished his domination of the midfield.

Not sure who works harder as they play different roles.  Oliver is in the thick of it to get the ball, Petracca is the burst player to go forward.  Yep, great to have the two.

Who is better?  Depends on criteria and one's emotional investment in each player.

But, now that Oliver has learnt to hold his ground in or run out of a pack, instead of treating the ball as a hot potato and blindly hand pass out of congestion, I reckon he has a few more levels of improvement.

Now that is a truly scary thought.

After a very long time, I'm getting over my deep seated animosity towards my father "guiding" me down the path of being a dees supporter. Hopefully my son doesn't feel the same way.

Very much down to our star studded lineup. When Clarry did that one handed pickup under pressure against the Hawks (2016/7?), I knew we were onto a winner.

I think about this a lot. It was incredible.

To think if we had have taken Wines instead of Toumpas we may not have ended up with Clarry or trac

We would have had two great players in Viney and Wines but quite similar in many ways.

 

I’ve never seen him struggle.

Best player in the comp.

Who is better? He won the coaches award, Mongrel Punt ranks him number one, I think he is clearly the best player in the competition. He reminds me a great deal of Barassi  - they have the same relentless, nothing-will- stop-me approach; Total aggression at the ball.

Oliver and Petracca are like having two Martins or two Bontempellis, or one of each.

I've said this before.  Clarry is VB, Trac is craft beer.  You need both for an awesome party 😁

Closer to the  latter but Oliver does not have the break away strength of Bont.

His handball receives and gives over his shoulders is sublime as well as his ability to work in confined space.

There's no doubt we took a little out of Dog's 2016 handball handbook into our 2021 season and boy did it work.

Petracca's ability to break clear and deliver or shoot in an unhurried manner is sheer brilliance

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
