Clarrys 200th

Fortunate to have seen every Melbourne player since the late 1970's. Flower stands above all as the best I've seen. Gawn is next because his influence has made everyone else better. Oliver sits comfortably third behind those two and well ahead of the next best. At his best (and he was amazingly consistent between 2017 and half way through 2023) I would say he was the most influential mid in the competition. In 2017, only his second year in the AFL he won the Bluey by nearly 200 votes! He polled 530 to the runner up, Jack Viney's 346. He had just turned 20. 2nd in 2018 - his first AA year, tied with Gawn in 2019, 5th in 2020, Back to back wins in 21 and 22. That's 6 consecutive top 5 positions in the Bluey, 3 x AA and 2 x AFLCA Player of the Year to go with a flag. If he stopped playing today he'd rightly be recognized as an all time great, yet at 27 there is so much more to come. Have a great game Clarry and thanks for the incredible highlights you've provided us with over the last 10 seasons. Much appreciated.

    Cranky, this is a thread to celebrate Clarry's 200th. There are plenty of threads to critique his performance and the club's. Show a little bit of respect.

    My discussion was with Picket Fence who claimed Clarry was better than Barrassi.

    Congrats Clarry.

    My favourite player and the best contested ball player I have ever seen.

    Get back to your best and we will be congratulating you on your 300th for us and maybe a couple more flags.

    I'll focus on trading Clayton for 2 players who can get a kick.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
