    Worth every cent. One of the greatest talents to ever pull on the red and blue. 

    No doubt. Just getting in first before the likely suspects put out the “the cap being up means Oliver’s deal gets better and better for us over time!”

    Its not like that, he will be underpaid anyway he is that good.

    Whenever I worry about our future success I think of Clarry and feel better. Genuinely the best player I’ve seen in red and blue and the most consistent bloke in the league. He won’t rest until we win another flag.

    I know we’ve had Mann, Flower, Barrassi but for my era, only Neitz and Oliver are etched in my memory for life. Such a privilege to be able to see this class

    I'll add Gawn and Jurrah.

    Gawn, because I've never previously seen a ruckman with the ability to tap the ball to all 360 degrees of the compass with either hand and with such precision.

    And Jurrah because he's the most freakishly talented Melbourne player I have seen. Not the most consistent, not the best at all aspects of the game (tackling and aerobic capacity, for example) but just the most exquisite in aspects such as kicking and marking.

    Most freakish in my time, and one I'll never forget, is Allen Jakovich. More unpredictable and yes, more exciting even than Jurrah.

    Maccas and Clayton on Social Media, just released.

    What an odd sponsorship partnership ... For a bloke that's never done media, now doing media...

    And even at this early stage, I would like to commend the efforts of the audio department to make Clayton sound like he hasn’t got a terrible sinus problem.

    I think it’s just part of the Maccas obligations that each club has to do. I love how Clarry is just Clarry 😂

    Just look at it from the perspective of other sports.

    Messi in soccer is probably the all time GOAT. However he, like Clarry, is not a natural when it comes to public speaking or advertising.

    Clarry let’s his football do the talking. He’s a regular Shakespeare on the field.

    I hang around with plenty of people Male and Female where Clarry words resonate with homespun candour, no bulltish and a lot of common sense. Suits me just fine!

    Best line ever. 

    Clarry is Tybalt, McDuff, Othello and King Lear all rolled into one.

    The first seven words of Richard III were certainly appropriate when Oliver started his career.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
