I think he went on to coach a team dwindling away at the bottom for 50 years that almost megered into irrelevance and got accused of underacheiving because the list he helped click were after that percieved to be too talented not to win 3 in a row

I think he spent most of the first quater on the bench and was cooked by the last but inbetween it was the most sublime individual performace you will ever see

To quote the great man Clayton, Petty had a stinka

Pick 19 after the Kalani White f/son

I got a txt last night from one of my best mates who barrscks for the bombers who haven't won a final since Peter Jackson was their CEO. They are death riddng us.

I don't have the stats to back it up but i recall weid being similar. Great vertical leap from stand still with a high reach and i thought process was he would be able to break defensive zones with that as an assett because instead of leading he could park himself in space in a zone and we'd just pop it up to him

Funny i thought the exact opposite he was harder at it than i expected but a much worse kick

So we have kept out best 2 midfielders of the last 50 years. Our best forward pocket in the same time frame, maybe excluding the wizard has stayed on The media narrative has been against us the entire period. We did well this trade period. Sharpe looks a suitable replacement for ANB and we somehow got pick 9 in what everybody says is a strong draft. Tim Lamb has done well. Brad Green has held the club together, Max Gawn shouldn't have to front every question for the organosation. We brought in a ruckman who might not play at the top level but is a good clubman and can at least compete with Max at training so he can go on being the best. I'll give us a 10 out of 10 for the trade period. Let's make the next obvious off field decisions swiftly and continue the good trading.

There is not a chance in hell Gawn or Brad Green let that happen

There is one thing that stops the pile on towards Melbourne and earns our media department much undeserved money. Front page pic in the Herald picture book of Oliver and Petracca running around shirts off together before they are due back at training

You left out the bit where he won us the game in the 2 minutes he was on

If Goody has to go because our list has under achieved he needs to be judged on the available list not a hypothetical one. I don't think he is the coach for a rebuild but i also think we have another roll at the dice

Can't wait for JT to take someone not even in the conversation like Oliver and Windsor. A decade ago Demonland would go into meltdown but now everyone will just pitty the other clubs that had picks before us and missed

Given our track record of draft picks at the time, i don't imagine anyone could have predicted the fat red head kid that nobody else rated would become a legend of the mfc and have the members screaming to burn the house down if he was let go

Given none of our supporter base can get JVR'S pronunciation correct and yell Roo when he get's it, i'm nor sure why the same people are upset when our president calls trac pertracka.

Should have stay tuned. Looks like we're keeping our best two midfielders of the last 50 years and still have plenty of room in our salary cap to make a play for somebody else. Could be the biggest [censored] you to the media of all time if we snag someone unexpected.

I'm more interested in what he does in the preseason

Dunno i thought the same think about Petracca

I don't care if we get 5 first round draft picks for him, which we wont, there will never be another Clayton Oliver. We've won one premiership in 60 years and he wins the b&f and coaches award, dominates the premiership quater by taking out Bont, kicks the goal that seals the grandfinal and has been the best player of a generation. I'd prefer us to stick fat with a club legend, who loves the club, family love the club and risk he doesn't get back to his best than let him go and see him get back to his best at another club which will destroy our culture more than it's already been

Norm Smith curse all over again. The greatest player of the modern era pushed out by an out of touch board.

I hope he was talking about Pert

I praying Oliver is there next year and Pert isn't

Question still remains is he a tactical nous or brilliant player manager? I'd say neither.

Which was Malthouse? Tactical nous or player manager? Underacheived at the 2 most powerful clubs in the land. Won two premiership at West Coast when they were double the size of everyone else and fluked one at Collinwood because the ball didn't sit for Milne in the drawn GF and Collingwood were better resourced to deal with the draw than St Kilda. Give me Goodwin anyday.

Oliver would have stopped Bont dead in his tracks in the premiership quater anywhere.
