With our unwillingness to play Brayshaw in the middle, no

    His brilliance and determination have masked how poor our midfield is performing this year. It feels like an eternity since we won the clearances and could stop opposition midfields charging through the corridor. Would be in a world of pain without Clarry doing his bit.

    Best player in the competition. Superstar.

    Still hasn’t learned how to kick, but at least he hasn’t mastered kicking to the opposition like Petracca

    Petracca tries to do it all him self, Clarry actually does it

    He genuinely looks like a man playing against boys with how well he wins contests

    Can win genuine contests (i.e. not talking about the contested posession stats necessarily, but those genuine one on one, 50/50 contests where if you win it you either drive a meaningful F50 entry for us or stop one for the oppo). Sadly outside of him, Gawn, Brayshaw and May (and probably Petty) we have too many who just can't win or half those contests.

    SUPERSTAR!! JUST PHENOMENALLY BRILLIANT!🤩

    No Doubt he is the most important player in our list. He's our barometer, when playing great you know we are a chance no matter the odds.

    I believe his contract situation is paramount to that of Jackson.

    Dare I say the order of priority as of today is:

    Oliver 

    Brayshaw

    Jackson

    A Million a year over 7 should do it!! I mean Viney got a very generous offer that I thought was far too generous... Clarry is a much better player and should be after top dollar. If we don't pay it all the other clubs will! Gladly!

    43 disposals at 81%. Really? He was creative with hands and his feet today and hit the scoreboard. Incredible post...

    Went at 81% today. 
    It’s a fallacy that he can’t kick. He disposes of the ball under more pressure than anyone else. 
    He is a freak. We are absolutely [censored] without him.

    One goal, plenty of nice short kicks, the number of times he’s run through the centre and hit a leading forward for the year is still under 5. 
     

    He might be the best player in the comp but there’s still a major limit to his game.

    Seriously what do you want 50 possessions at 100% and 5 goals??Give me a break!

    Absolute gun. End of.

    A few feral filth supporters sitting around us today thought otherwise and weren’t afraid to let the whole bay know it…….but deep down, like the supporters of every other club, I know how jealous they are he’s not on their side.

    Should have got 2 more (free) kicks too that the umps didn’t pay when he got tackled head on with his head over the ball. Collingwood also got a goal as a result of one of those not being paid

    That I can agree on. If there’s a player who deserves a HS back page about his poor treatment by the umpires it’s not the Collingwood kid

    He goes alright he’s not perfect but where screwed if we don’t have him. I think his kicking could become more damaging if only someone else was feeding the ball out to him. My favourite Demon of all time and getting harder and harder to think of a better Demon in my life. Really hope he signs a contract extension to be a Demon for life.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
