Yelled at him in the first half. Yelled for him in the second. (Sh*t I'm a contrarian)!

Hi Skuit, I used to enjoy watching Ajax (I-ox if I remember correctly) when living in Europe many years ago. Johan Cruyff was my favourite player, the Robert Flower of soccer i.e. graceful and elegant. I certainly remember Ajax as a powerhouse in those days. ps: how's the weed over there (no, not him, it!)

Project forward 4/5 years, Clarry's played around 100 games and has improved as expected. What does it take money wise to keep him from the wolves at the door?

The name of this thread should be changed from Clarence Oliver to Clearance Oliver!

I bet Balls is pleased, carries #14 well. Excellent debut!

Clary the clearance King ( I was going to put all "K's" but thought better of it)!

Ooh, Wimin, a topic I can relate to. So: how many wimin post on this site? Are there just a token few? Or a full blown gaggle? The question must be asked for the sake of gender equality and the Ostralian way. Remember wimin make up half the crowd at matches.

Were they wearing yarmulkes?

Matt Jones is genuine depth, and has improved on last year and should be kept. Kyle Cheney now plays for Adelaide and is doing quite well, having played most games this year.

Dunny could reach the centre circle from full back with a torp, as could Paul Wheatley. But how about the long lost drop kick? Now there's a kick to bring drama back into the game, executed properly it was a weapon, executed wrongly and oh dear!!!

I was about to post much the same comment. $cully, skinny legs and the others were to be the saviours of the MFC, Sh*t, Sh *t, [censored]!

Agree with you, would introduce a"him and us"division: sort of modern version of gentlemen (gentleman) and players.

So, can anyone on this forum tell me (and I'm sure other frustrated readers) anything about the progress of Clayton Oliver?

Carlton purchased premierships many years ago, but it's difficult to do today.And imagine if we had a player like Tony Lockett on our list a few years ago, how would he perform with the team we had in (say) 2012. StKilda is proof that a star or two does not make a premiership team (not withstanding their 2010 effort). Hawthorn has a star team bolstered by a few star players: that's the formula IMHO.

Somewhat off the actual topic but when I played schoolboy football I'm sure the stops were laminated leather nailed into the boots. And we would often disagree on the number and placement of the stops as well. Also like the late, great Jack Dyer I've never adjusted to seeing modern footballers wearing glorified runners (and don't get me started on the colours). In my day real men wore real black footy boots, the sort you could wear( without the stops) into combat against the red hoards sweeping down from the north. Ah they were the days And if young Weiderman is anything like his grandad, I wouldn't say no.

Neville's the sort of player we had in the John Northey days, tough and uncomplicated: love his work.

Jakovitch was as lazy as! This kid in contrast works his arse off and even took a saving mark down back yesterday. This kid's part of a team, Jacko wasn't.

Do you reckon Rupe gets his digital copy of "The Collingwood Football Club / Liberal Party Gazette " each day over there in New York just to read the odd Dee's article.Probably doesn't even know the name of our captain!

Confirmed! And yes, pretty good effort!

Very good, chuckle chuckle!
