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

I thought "Richard the Third" was rhyming slang and far more applicable to Dayne Zorko than to Clarry.

Now do yourself a favour and watch the Ian McKellen 1995 version of Richard III set in fascist England in the 1930s. Absolutely sensational. Or, if you have the time, watch The Hollow Crown series from start to finish. It's unbelievably compelling.

I prefer the Supergrass version of Richard III

Sir Ian, Sir Ian, Sir Ian. (Extras quote)

John Lydon based the persona of Johnny Rotten on Shakespeare's Richard 111 - more than a passing resemblance bw youngish Rotten and Clarry for mine........

Winner of every MFC award, AA award and AFLaward multiple times along with an AFL Premiership the only awards he has yet to win is the Brownlow and Norm Smith which he may be able to win in the coming years

If Clarrie was one of the 'pretty boys' who gain so much media attention, he most probably would have already won a  Brownlow. Everything (or very close to it) that Clarrie attempts comes off with flying colours and that is what sets him above so many of the Brownlow winners in the past coupla years. Then, his consistency at playing at this level so frequently against any opponents can be factored into our praise for his efforts, just like it had with Tulip.

It is a ripper.  I have always supposed that they had the costumes and props from the Mosely series.

Best line ever. 

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

Layzie aside from McDuff there’s some troubled characterisations you’ve drawn on;

Tybalt may be ‘king of the cats, sleek yet violent’. (Danger got that role?) Orthello consumed by jealously kills his lover and himself. (All’s well Clarry is back...). King Lear spirals into destitution and insanity.(Peter Jackson stepped in).
 

Alternatively when associating Olivier with Shakespeare, we prefer these guys;

Henry V rallies the troops, Puck has wit and magical abilities and Prospero’s a wizard who gets sweet poetic revenge at the end of the season finale.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
