    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
