I'm sorry but poor Oliver is just lost out there.

He had one touch that quarter and five for the whole game.

Of those he's just turned it over.

Almost feel he should be subbed off.

We can't afford to carry these sort of games.

I know he's been one of the greatest players ever for us but that makes it even more worrying.

Oliver’s hand has to be the excuse . So if he cannot handball or tackle, then why is he out there? Seriously it is so glaringly obvious he does not belong in the starting line up.

sub oliver off to give him a rest. they guy needs time to recover. At the moment he is a liability the way he is playing. our forwards need to do better, as does our delivery into the forward line. a lot of good play up fields is totally destroyed by our delivery into the forward line. and the umpiring has been pretty bad our players held, pushed in the back, they drop the ball everything going unnoticed by the umpires. really the AFL needs to do something about that.

Just nicked out the shed for a dart.
Radio on and hear the commentators.
"Bit of a nothing game ATM"
"Yeah, hasn't reached any great heights."

This is my issue with Goodwin.
Our games never do.
Dour, rugby scrum.

It always feels like Port spear their kicks and we're just up and under kings.

Exactly. Up and under kings … jv7, Salem, Billings, Clarry… all like 9 iron chip kicks versus Houston, Bergman, Horne-Francis darts !!!

Petty's been good. Turner too.

Jvr bern struggling of late but he gives his all. 

Our delivery fwd hasn't been quick like Ports.

And to be fair , Port have flooded our fwd line quick smart all night.

Surely it's not still his hand. Don't know what it is. You'd think instinct would kick in.How can you go from being the best player in the league to being a passenger

Really sick and tired with all and sundry, commentators included, slagging the champion that is Clayton Oliver. Issues well documented and 14 pins in his hand and still our highest possession gatherer for the season. He'll be back bigger and better than ever. Champions are rare. Give him the respect he deserves. 

Absolutely agree!

Here at the ground Oliver looks sick

Came to say the same. He tried making himself throw up with the doctor standing next to him.

Really liking what I've seen today.

Nothing perfect or flashy but highly contested and every player giving a lot of effort.

This is what we need to see for the rest of the season.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
