Its hard to see it clearly from this angle. Sometimes there’s a really long ladder that I climb to take a pic but it wasn’t there on Thursday night so this will have to do…

It doesn’t look very impressive from this position but I’m sure it’ll look fantastic from the stands.

Just thought this deserved a separate thread on Demonland. As mentioned by @WalkingCivilWarin another thread, it will be Clayton Oliver's 150th game for the Melbourne Football Club. Clayton

Just for the milestone, let's take a moment to see how he's going on the stats. Disposals: 4,341, at 29.13 / game. All-time target for total disposals is currently Robert Harvey (9,656) but

Good player but needs to work on his consistency. We can’t afford to carry guys who go missing every 149 games and only get 37 possessions.

That banner is really impressive. I mean really, really good. I’m sure Oli will feel very proud, and, as such, the DA should also feel proud of what they’ve done and continue to do. We are very fortunate to have such a dedicated, and talented group, representing the supporter in all of us.

With milestones we have the player’s name then “150 (insert adjective) games.” With Fritta’s 100th it was “100 hair-raising games” 😁 

But with Clarrie there’s an additional sentence coz Clarrie 😍

We should enlist you for copywriting Layz! They’re great! Now the adjective on the banner is gonna seem boring. 😭

Well I’m old enough, and lucky enough, to have seen all of our ‘greats’ in the last seven or so decades, and I can honestly put my hand on my (❤️ & 💙) heart, and say that Clarrie is up there with the very best in my lifetime!  
Outstanding achievement Clas!  You will be weighed down by medals around your neck, when the inevitable time comes, and you will have earned every one of them!  I love your ‘never say die’ attitude!  I love that you bleed ❤️ & 💙 for us, each and and every week! 

Thanks DOF.  Nice to hear this from someone going back who can compare.

Im old enough to go back to Greg Parke (the first Demon i remember as a kid as he would choof a ciggy and butt it out as the siren sounded to start a match!), Hardeman, Alves, Wells, Biffo etc onwards.  And of course then came Tulip.

I'd have to put Tulip in there alongside Clarry.  Different types of players though and diff positions.

If i was asked who was/is the better player overall wow.  Very difficult call indeed until we see how the remainder of Clarry's career pans out.

However what i will say is he's the best MFC mid fielder i've seen in my time and anything he does from here is just going to add weight to what is already a stellar career.

So reliable and so gutsy.  The mark of a great player is not just how he goes in a winning team but what he does when the team isn't.  Clarry you star son... fingers crossed you get to 300 plus...and i live long enough to see em! ❤️💙👹💪🏼👏🏼

I did, because that’s what I call Clayton. He likes it (no surprise since he’s so agreeable) as well as “Clazz” which I think he likes best. 

What about Clarry Choo Choo ??

Clayton Oliver was absolutely magnificent in his 150th game for the Melbourne Football Club.

He has such a voracious appetite for the footy and always goes in hard for the ball. Tough as nails too!

Kicked 2 goals and got 25 possessions too. It was a great game!

Well done Clarrie!

WOW, The banner was fantastic, certainly one of the best I’ve seen in my many years of Dee watching!

BUT, you’ve set yourselves an almost impossible task: how are you going to better it for Clayton’s 200th?

@WalkingCivilWar thank you and the Demon Army for that amazing banner

Did @Demon Dynasty collect it after the game? 😆😆

Ruined ...completely ruined.  Alas just the memories remain. 

But hey that was some banner.  Well done to our Demon Army (yes im one of the many minions) and those that put it together including (i assume) WCW.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
