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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
