Scans have confirmed Brownlow Medal favourite Clayton Oliver has fractured his thumb - likely to miss one game. But he's adamant he'll push to play off the nine-day break

Give him a rest this week and get him tight for the late part of the season and finals. 

Bring in Dunstan to cover the best he can.

Shouldn’t  Selwood be cited for this? It was reckless, dangerous and caused injury that could force Clarry out to recover. He should get a couple of weeks for what he did.

If Mark Thompson was still coaching Geelong he’d be blaming Oliver’s thumb for trying to break Selwood’s foot.

Hopefully it’s just the one week and we can adequately cover him for the Port game.

A shame he has to break his 130 game streak due to a reasonably careless kick from Selwood.

Someone commented that it was in play and not deliberate so there should be no penalty beyond the free kick. But the offence was kicking in DANGER.  Why does this escape further penalty when Chandlers did not?  In play dangerous tackle vs in play dangerous kick. The only difference is the focus on concussion. But I bet if Chandler had broken the blokes arm he would have still been rubbed out.

I did exactly the same injury a zillion years ago and had surgery had it pinned and missed 2  weeks but I was, a sook and was nowhere near as tough as Clarry and so I reckon he will be a chance to play!!😊

The little rat should with luck put his head down to pick up a spare free kick of his own

When was the last time we played without Oliver?

Round 18 2016 Vs Gold Coast. MCG. The early Sunday game.

We won by 2 points with Tom Lynch failing to make the distance after the siren to snatch the win. Vanders had a big 3rd with 3 goals.

He’s been so durable. Goodwin won’t know what to do with himself without Oliver in his lineup.

Bloody cats fans were booing that free for kicking in danger.

And afterwards booed clarry!

I reckon he'll play.  If he's had surgery today he'll be right with a hand guard. Some of the injuries this guy has played with are beyond belief.  And nobody could tell.

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    TRAINING: Monday 13th January 2025

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti
