    Clarry was not close to BOG. He had it 27 times (if he did that in 2021-23 wed be wondering what he was carrying) for a grand total of 270m gained. He'll cover Tom Green's contested possessions but not much else

    He was good and was BOG, he was clean and made good decisions with ball in hand, he may not have been as dynamic as Trac was last night but plenty of contested possessions and set them up. Fonti and Callahan also good bu Clayton was BOG

    His 2-way running today was outstanding and his in-and-under work was classic Clarry. I still admire his footy, remain disappointed he left, but know he had to go. I don't reckon he was BOG today, but definitely in the top 5 on the ground. The hardest thing in footy is to actually get it and he remains brilliant at it.

    As the year progresses my interest in him will fade a bit but just like Hogan, Harmes etc.. there will always be an interest.

    Haha yeah nah Pickett..

    You have got your bias lense on with this one once again.

    He played the stock standard 2024-2025 Oliver game of 17 handballs and just the 9 kicks to go along with just the 274 metres gain meaning he he barely drove his legs to burst out of stoppages or get on the outside for transition.

    According to AFL ratings was the 5th rated Giants so not even close to BOG.

    The game has moved past contest and all about transitioning and ball movement. Saw none of that. The long bombs to contest was still there so nothing has changed.

    At least we saw a completely different Petracca the other night being so dynamic where as Oliver just did his normal thing which in all honesty he didnt hurt the opposition that much.

    I disagree Daz, I reckon he was very important inside and unlike us of the last few years the Giants have plenty of outside power runners who fed off him.

    Just MO

    So he's not a supporter just because he said that Oliver wasn't BOG for a side that we don't even support? Lol

    There was literally no hate in his post at all. Believe it or not, our club doesn't revolve around one player who isn't even with us anymore.

    I Did say SOME posters THD. I did not specify this particular one. There are many haters however sadly enough.

    Spot on. These were the numbers he was putting up the last couple of years. Looks better when the side wins. It was a very solid first game at a new club. He didn’t break the game apart like Tracc. Lots of extraction handballs. His DE % looks decent because it’s all handballs. His handballs were stifling our need to play faster. I wish him all the best, but the media are just circle jerking because it’s a narrative that’s easy. They were the one with the torch on him for three years. It’s like they forgot all their reports on his misbehaviour and culture issues. The f..wi.t on Fox footy just said he must have been “miserable at Melbourne”. They never miss the chance

    The MFC have to be seriously competitive this year and win games, otherwise the Media will pound into the Club unmercifully all Season…

    I’m not so sure about that. They seem to be complimenting our reset.

    No stressing everyone. I’m sure the future third round pick we received will be a ripper.

    Really? I thought most of the media had us around bottom 6.

    Well there is a 29 page 'Media Madness' Thread still floating around on here from last year..

    So yes, I would suggest there are many folks on here who are still pretty sensitive to what gets said in the media going off that thread.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
