His two way running was never an issue under Goodwins game plan when we had ANB and Gus covering ground so our best midfielder could run where he wanted.

In the 3rd quarter of our premiership Clarrie shut down Bont then kicked the sealer running off him.

That is the epitome of 2 way running at it’s greatest.

Yeah sorry, that was in 2021. Like Clarrie and Tracc you're living off past glories. The footy world has moved on. Since Clarrie was '2 way running' Brisbane have won 2 flags How are we travelling?

Sure was, but that was 4 years ago, a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then

Yeah same fuss when Barrassi went to Carlton

Not even close.

Maybe go barrack for the Giants.

He's not the Messiah.... but he was a naughty boy.

Take your point re hands but his 2 way running was pretty much non existent which is critical for today's mids. Add that to his disruptive influence and it was inevitable a new coach would want to assert his team first approach

I don't know King from a bar of soap. But could he also want to esrablish honest relationships with his players and/or hope his warning/ultimatum would prime Oliver into a perfect preseason and get his attitude back to his 2021 standard?

Your logic defies all logic Doc.

So a player who DESERTS the club in pursuit of FAME and FORTUNE deserves a medal, but the other WHO WANTED TO STAY, BUT WAS KICKED OUT doesnt deserve a medal! Unbelievable!

Umm, didnt King tell Oliver that he wasnt going to be guaranteed seniors games? Correct me if Im wrong but Oliver thought "**** that" and left.

It's probably in this thread the video of Oliver mocking others about his attitude and pottymouth and dragging new teammates into his mess. The guy should be knuckling down as someone who needs to turn his form around and be an inconspicuous humble newbie (even though his best is incredible) grateful for another chance. Anyway he's not our problem. Too bad if ends up like a Fevola at Brisbane being like a poisoned chalice.

No King told him he wasnt going to be a midfielder which was just like saying, 'You are not wanted anymore'. Put whatever any spin you like on this story.

Okay. So unlike other players asked to play an unglamorous role , i.e. put the team over his self-interest , Oliver was selfish?

Oliver was not a plodder. He had explosive speed out of packs. Goodwin had role players and Oliver’s role was not to get back behind the football.

You can pull your hair out all you want, I hope you don’t go bald with King’s knew game plan because there will still be players that wont run both ways by instruction.

I’ll guess Harvey Langford but I have been wrong once before.

You'll be wrong again.

Brisbane has won two flags because the AFL wanted them to win, along with Collingwood and anyone bar us. Winning the ten games in a row after that frightened the maggot AFL and they put their Media and maggot umpire Fraternity base to work to wreck our future. Old boys club of haters like Taylor Robinson and Richmond's mouthpiece.
