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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
