Had the pleasure of sitting next to Oliver at the MFC season launch function, with Ooze sitting on the other side of Oliver.
 

He commented on the significant step up required in fitness, but said he’d already cut his 2km time, by I think it was 20 seconds, pre and post Christmas. We had a great chat about footy and non footy stuff and he was more than happy to answer questions from everyone else at the table.  Not sure if Ooze is naturally close to all the new draftees, but he clearly has a very close bond with Oliver, based on their interactions that night.
 

I’m watching his VFL season with added interest, really hope he can make it.

    Both Goulburn Valley lads so I'm guessing they may have bonded over that when meeting.

    Hence why young Harley Reid will slide straight in seamlessly ;)

    Seston isn't a Goulburn Valley lad. Born and bred in Melbourne and is a classic city slicker/private schoolboy.

    Seston only travelled up for a few games for Mansfield under 18's.

    I also really like the look of Oliver Sestan he does have that Jacovich “air” about him, good size at 188cm or 6’2” in imperial terms .  I can see him slotting into an attacking forward line  with Bayley Fritsch, JvR and Matty Jefferson in 2024.!!!

    He was interviewed on Gus and Gawny's podcast. Absolute unit.

    Have a good feeling about him. Seems like the kind of bloke with a ton of talent but never really took footy too seriously growing up. Putting him into a full time, high standard organisation and he could really come on as a real smokey from that draft.

    His highlights remind me a lot of Robbie Gray personally.

    A good debut...

    The beauty about Casey this season is that it will be the kids with a handful of veterans that are driving the team.

    Last season it was the vets.

    We may not win it but we will have a good idea on our depth and where the list sits at the end.

    Sestan can play.

    I he has the will to do it he will be a really good story.

    Dane Swan???

    willo?

    Daz - In my comment I was talking about Yze and Oliver, not Seston.

    edit:  I don't really know anything about Seston to be honest.  Why would someone play in the GV when under 18 still?  I get it if you're a senior player and chasing some $$$ but is it common for U/18's to do this??

    I'm a tool.  Literally 5 hours later I realise you were talking about Oliver Sestan - not Clayton Oliver (who I was referring to)..... which makes sense noting its an Oliver Sestan thread.

    Yep, I shanked that completely.  Apologies for the confusion.

    You can take the boy out of the city, but you can never take the city out of the boy!

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
