Best midfielder in the game between 2021-2023. 

Not doubting that.

It was in response to kicking skills. JNM’s comment was vague in itself.  My god people are sensitive in regards to Clarry on this site 😆

Mate, you do realise you are 💩💩’ing on a great of this club and he is 27 years old, still playing. 
 

Clarry’s kicking skills is not his best attribute, but geez, he is a great player. 
 

People ain’t sensitive but I recognise you like to kick the boots in and take a negative, problem saturated point of view. 
 

Maybe that is what’s other have a problem with.

This time last year the message was ‘if Clayton doesn’t meet the standards we’ve asked we will consider trading him’ 

Despite his meh 2024 form Oliver held his spot & there was nothing to suggest he wasn’t doing the required work

Should the club reverse on that & look to trade him I’d be extremely disappointed because to me it reads like they’ve moved the goal posts.  He’s met the standards we set but that’s still not enough so bye bye. That would suck

Hnmm hypothetically..would you take Jeremy Cameron as a straight swap for Clarry???

Not in a million years. I know everyone (aka Damian Barrett) loves Jezza; I think he's overrated.

 

 My memory is no good, but I don't recall him ever doing much against us.

I didn't say he was no good, but if you defend him like he is a small-medium and not a tall he is beatable.

Jezza - I feel like he’s batting 50/50, he’s brilliant one day and me’h the next , I agree with this post. Clayton on the other hand turned the competition on it’s head, If he gets fit, he’ll be eating coaches votes all over again, and I wouldn’t mind betting he has more than Jezza next year.

And Jeremy hasn't? The guy kicked 62 goals in his second year of the competition as a 19 year old.

Cameron is one of, if not, the most consistent players in the competition and is still at his absolute best at the current age of 31 years of age.

He's already kicked 62 goals for the year and doesn't look like slowing down anytime soon.

Give me Jeremy Cameron everyday of the week.

 

Anyone suggesting we trade Oliver needs to look within themselves and figure out who hurt you so bad that you now have an ice cold frozen heart. 
 

Get some more love in your heart and take comfort in us being a different club to the big awful ones like pies and blues.

 Oliver is a person and part of our demon family.

Tell me you don’t understand the role of an inside mid without telling me you don’t understand the role of an inside mid

How many goals has Oliver kicked over nine years well it's 58 not many for an elite midfielder as some say, oh by the way Nick Daicos is 8 goals short of him in 3 years.

I have always been surprised he has not kicked more goals. He certainly has all the ability to.

If they were the same age it might be an interesting question but not now..

Marcus Bontempelli has kicked 232 in 11 seasons even Josh Dacios has kick more goals than Oliver.

Any club that does deep due diligence on Clayton will pass on a trade.

He'll be staying with us as a consequence. 

We have to help improve for him to be of value in 2025.

"As some say"? "As some say"? You are doubting it? 
 

The coaches Association doesn't doubt it!!

What is Oliver’s Disposal Efficiency % over his career?

Suprised he has only slotted 58 goals

I think it's this, but smarter people using the internet can confirm 

Disposal Efficiency 70.4

Kicking Efficiency 56.1

 


We know he doesn’t kick too many goals but……bang, bang, bang!

Thanks. 56% was close to what i thought it would be, If he could improve 3-4% it would be a huge difference in games

Oliver is the only player since Gary Ablett Jnr to win back to back coaches awards, but of course 18 AFL coaches know a lot less than pundits on the internet so please carry on.

By the way, disposal efficiency 

Daicos 67%
Clarry 66%
🙄

That kind of exemplifies how much of a waste of time disposal efficiency is as a stat.

Inside mids always have worse disposal efficiency stats because they’re almost always disposing the football under immense pressure and with little time to spare. 

My eyes, and Clarry’s accolades tell me that he’s an elite footballer and one of the best ever inside mids. Not sure how anyone is arguing against that because he’s had a down season, where he was still above average for disposals and clearances.

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
