Agree, Oliver number 1 for me.

football media prefer trac, because he has the looks and is more charismatic and likeable. 
 

 

I disagree, Clarry is an awkward  but likeable soul who may not have a "public" persona that suits the media but what you get is authentic and honest. Too me that makes him likable and in some ways,  unusual.

    I firmly believe that he is honest as the day is long, loyal to the nth degree and I think he will improve his media presence with confidence. He is also humble and unassuming, and this last comment is from someone who claims to know him quite well. He is also a very driven person who sets high standards of personal integrity. I would love to meet him one day! He is definitely my favorite player! :D

    Likeable for us, not so much for opposition supporters.

    You are right PF, I was pleasantly surprised in Trac's performance in front of the camera over the last 12mths. He too exhibits all the qualities you spoke about. More kudos to JT and the recruiting team for sticking fat with the philosophy around good citizens with honesty and integrity. Nice guys don't necessarily come last and the willingness to sacrifice for the team success is essential in building the "team" we have become. Goodwin must also receive some acknowledgement for this ethos. I cannot think of a time where I have been prouder of this Club and that's not just because they have ended 57yrs of pain.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
