Farewell Clayton Oliver

I don't think it would have increased Trac's brand so best he stayed away.

Picket Fence is HARMLESS.

I don’t know why anyone would bother to take him to task about anything he says. He’s not hurting anyone.

We all know PF is harmless, but he brings this on himself Ghosty. Match day first half he’s going on and on about how trading Clarry was a mistake blah blah blah. I’ve loved Clarry as a player and wish him the best, but the rumours and innuendo aren’t unfounded and it’s pretty common knowledge amongst the majority of people who talk. I agree with a poster earlier we should just close this thread and move on.

Yeah I guess I don’t realise how annoying that can be since I wouldn’t touch the gameday thread with a barge pole (once the game begins). But annoyance is nothing compared to personal attacks and cruel insults. PF is amusing albeit with a touch of irritation.

Thanks for the insult.

Youre welcome, thanks for the smart response to my original question.

You dont need the sniper gun up 24/7. I asked if people who actually saw him play the first 3 games could give their opinion on how he has actually been playing to cut through the noise. I was met with a response to 'go and check the stats' so I asked again.

I know you like to hold grudges but there was nothing wrong with what I said. Maybe re calibrate your idea of rude as well.

You’re the one who asked how he’s going not me dumba**

So instead of adding air either answer it or leave.

Personal attacks arent appreciated either.

Funny how you single me out in your reply.

And by funny I mean not [censored] funny at all.

Can we cut out the rubbish, no one wants to read this stuff, start a separate "handbags at dawn" thread and put it all in there I keep clicking on this thinking there is stuff to read about Clayton but all I find is more bickering.

You are all on the same team you dills!

Not telling you how to do your job and you're not being unreasonable except for one thing.

Your original question was simply: "Does anyone know how he went in the last few games".

It's just a bit broad. It may have misled people despite the intentions being different.

Spoke to a mate of mine this morning who is a very keen GWS fan, he iterated several things,

Here's proof that PF has mates 😂😂.

But seriously without PF Demonland would be pretty boring with its legion of acolytes.

More power to Iconoclasts.

I quoted 3 people. What part of that is singling you out?

I'm sorry if Redleg was offended I could have been clearer.

No need for the pile on train.

Oliver’s first game for GWS was outstanding. He was either extracting the ball from contest or linking up in handball chains, running hard both ways, hitting targets by foot and kicked an excellent goal. His next three games he’s still getting the ball and linking up but the team is struggling and GWS’s clearance work has been messy. He’s getting a lot of it and doing his great in close handball stuff, he’s also getting to link up in more handball chains from hard running than last year, seems fitter, but is rarely the kicker and when he is tends to still do the up and under kick into the forwardline.

He’s been one of if not GWS’s best player, but they’re not the team they once were and sit 1-3 so it’s hard to tell how much positive impact he’s having. I don’t think he’s hit his peak 2020-2022 form if he even can get back there.

Very disappointed he didn’t show up for Max, he has every right to be mad/frustrated with Steven King and the club but after everything Max did for him he should’ve been there. Tomlinson, Hunt, Spargo, Marty Hore, Jeremy Howe and many others that showed could have had reason to not want to show but they did it for their mate and to retain the legacy of the good times they had at the club. Clayton should’ve done the same, I hope he does in future.

Thank you this is a great summary.

Posts like this should be promoted over those who are just here to pick a fight. Much appreciated.

OK, I thought that there wasn't a lot of difference between these three and the last year.

Yeah but there's a difference with how things are said, especially through text. For example:

A) "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE??"

B) "Who is it, that you believe you appear to be?"

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
