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.


  • Demonland changed the title to Clayton Oliver Thumb Injury

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

Censored!


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.

1 game but says he'll play 

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!


Anyone got the footage of the incident? 

Just another reason to hate geelong even more.

 

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.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
