    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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
