This Clayton Oliver podcast popped into my feed. He is in relaxed form and gives some insights into his early career and from the Grand Final. Credit to Dylan Buckley (I've never listened to his podcast before) he is a good interviewer.

Lost 3 or 4 kg, running better (he says). 

Yes and still felt really strong and been getting through all his weight sessions. I'm not going to drink the bath water but gee, wow , oh boy, I like the sound/feel of everything at the moment!

Thanks @BDA - top interview.

Interesting Billy Stretch's professionalism being such an influence on Clarry and more reciently Goody, with his 3 big rocks.

Don't here Clarry speak at length so often.  So many other great insights, but one of the others that really stuck out to me was the connection between Clarry and Gawn on the field, with Clarry pretty much instinctively knows where Max is going to put it off his ruckwork.  Sort of reminds me of the way good onballlers I played with just knew where it was going, in a way I never seemed to be able to.  The really interesting one was regarding Gawny bringing all the midfielders in to turn things around in that third quarter.  Gawny seems like such a great leader that his players really respect.

I need to start this post with a disclaimer. All players should be free to go out and do as they please within the legal framework of legal rules.

I bumped into Dusty Martin at a restaurant last night and asked him how it feels to take a back seat to Oliver and Petracca as the best players in the league. I shouldn't have said it and I regret it. I want to be humble Melbourne supporter.

Dusty wanted to punch my lights out but was too smart for that. I was amazed at how much weight he has lost. He would be more similar to Bailey Fritch than Petracca on the scales at the moment.

If I had my time again I wouldn't have said anything. Thanks Dusty for being as diplomatic as one could be in a split second decision.

Go Dees and I hope supporters show more diplomacy than me.

Write to the RFC and say this. Dusty probably deserves to hear that his self control in the moment was a winner.

I'm sure hes going to win a Brownlow in the next few years. 

Three years ago I think his disposal of the ball was sloppy at times with those Hollywood handball over the head.

He is so much more effective and clever with his ball use and so much more confident. 

There was a scene in the granny that Daisy pointed out where he was tackled by two dogs players simultaneously and still managed to take a decent kick.

He and Trac are worth the price of admission alone.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
