He's miles from top 3. To put him ahead of RBD is shameful.

Way behind Stynes, Alves, Lyon, Hardeman, Wells, Jones, Neita & several others.

Still bombs away over the forwards heads - perfect punching practice for opposition defenders.

And in 2024 & 2025 he's been bog ordinary.

The last two years donโ€™t erase the previous 7.

He was our best player, and one of the greats of the game, for a solid 4 years during which we won a flag. He is up there, and certainly beyond most of the names you just pulled out of your arze just then.

Jeez Cranky Franky, Clayton Oliver won every available award from when he started in 2016 through to 2022, he was our most decorated player at age 25. Only the Brownlow medal eluded him, he hit a rough patch in 2023-24 and is currently rebuilding his career with MFC. Itโ€™s his 200th Game on Saturday night and he deserves full recognition for his service to Our footy club which includes our only Premiership in 57 years.โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

Give it a break Cranky. Clarry is definitely up there with the best of all time. I was around watching RBD and others you mentioned and not sure if you were but have a look at how the game was played back then. They also just bombed away.

Melbourne Football Club legend. Noone else has accomplished what Clayton has in the last 50 years.

Robbie, Max, Clayton. In any order the most impactful on ground contributors.

ย 

for 7 years clarry was unstoppable. I havenโ€™t seen a better player in my 45 years on this earth.


I was reminiscing about the 2021 grand final and re-watched some old interviews. Garry Lyon pondered whether there had been a greater midfielder at the MFC than Clarry after 2021.

I know his last 50 games aren't what we would have thought, but you surely can't find a player who had a better first 150 than he did.

Congrats on the 200, Clarry. Whatever happens with the rest of his career he's always going to be a MFC legend.

A great player, and I was watching his genuine delight in being with genuine people especially the kids.

He spreads his time for the enjoyment of others.

He is a credit to his Club, and apparently a character.

He was a great player, but that rough patch is undoubtedly still happening. He is better than last year, but a shadow of his best self.

Well said, I just hope he can get back somewhere near his best for the remainder of his career.

Congrats Clarry!

I had you in the Top 3 posters on this forum until your above post.

Way to celebrate a champion of the footy club, you need a hobby.

IMO.

I'll be there with the kids on sat night cheering him on.

He deserves to be recognised and applauded by all dees supporters for what he produced for this club

phenomenal player in his prime. absolute beast.

makes it all the harder to watch his recent struggles. he has not been the clarry we all know and love.

Not sure what the future holds for him but no matter what happens from here he will be immortalised in eternity as a champion of the club

His consistency in performance and ability to bring his strengths and display them at such a high level for such a long period of time was phenomenal.

His capacity to hit a contest at top speed and extract the ball from congestion during those years was unmatched and was of such enormous benefit for our team. And I think for someone like myself who can be highly critical, I probably took that skill for granted given his propensity to butcher the ball/give it up easily with silly handballs.

200 games is an enormous feat, so congrats to Clarry, we've been lucky enough to watch you at your best over those years.

Then comes the following to round out my top 10

4 Gawn

5 Schwartz

6 Alves

7 Neitz

8 Stynes

9 Lyon

10 Wells

Apologies to Gary Hardeman, Brian Wilson and Hassa Mann, Junior McDonald and Chunky Jones!

Edited by picket fence

Really happy for Clayton, it's hard to explain but I haven't been this happy about a milestone game for a while.

This guy is a club legend, end of story. We know Garry Lyon has constantly had great things to say about Clarry but the one that sticks out was around early 2017 when he said out of all the youngsters we had, this one was going to be the best. And Clarry's best is as good as I've personally seen at Melb.

Whatever happens from now till the end of his career, whether he's a one club player or does take a fresh start, he will always be a favourite son at MFC for me. This Sat will be a moment to celebrate all of this.


It's nice to see that not everyone is using this milestone thread to yet again pile on Clarry.

Not only is he one of the greatest players in our club's history, I think that if more people knew the challenges he's faced, their level of admiration for him would increase tenfold.

Nobody is perfect, and nearly everyone has faced challenges in their life, so it's quite sad to see a footballer who has given so much to this club, not least of all a flag (won a B&F and the coaches award in 2021!), cop so much negativity from not just the media but our own fans.

Unfortunately Clarry is a victim of his own brilliance, and has been given very little grace for not managing to hit those exceptional highs the last 18 months, due to exceptional circumstances in his own personal life. If he had a serious physical injury, like Trac has, I wonder if he'd be given more support from the fans.

I personally hope he finishes his career where and as it started, as I have no doubt that he is not far away from reaching his best again.

Either way, I hope he is incredibly proud of what he's accomplished in 200 games, which is more than 99% of players ever will!

Depends what you are calling the modern era?

Peak Clarry is on par with anyone else Iโ€™ve seen play.

His ball winning ability even now is absolutely elite

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
