picket fence

I like this train of thought and with Pedo in the 22, Gives us some good Talls!

For Chrisakes can we stop comparing Clayton Oliver to Jordie Mc Kenzie. Same hair color , same number, but that's where the similarity ends! Jordy Maximised every bit of ability that he had,which wasn't much to start with and played AFL footy. In my view plenty of blokes with stack more ability than him never ever played a game. He was an average kick, average handball, average mark, but could tag another player and that's about it! Lets face it Jordy Mc Kenzie was an indictment on our recruiting at the time and I doubt whether he would have been on anyone else's list. The fact that we gave him a 3 or was it 4 Year deal is damning at best! A deal of a lifetime for a tagger in a low performing footy team, what planet were we on?? Oliver on the other hand already has displayed "Rare" awareness of those around him and seems to have time to lay of damaging handballs which create havock with oppositions. He has pace, grunt and hunts the ball. I have already compared him to Greg Williams with his shimmy and stunning movement laterally and the fact he picked every right option to handball. Lets face it Dom Tyson could learn a thing or two about dishing of first time rather than trying to break every tackle on the planet! Clayton Oliver is NOTHING like Jordy Mc Kenzie in a footballing sense and IMV he will become a 200 game player with the Dees! Now stop comparing him. Jordy Mc Kenzie gave everthing he had and deserves accolades for playing AFL footy. But that's it!

Dazzle man, I would be very interested in your opinion of Oliver, he reminds me a lot of Greg Williams with the way he shimmies through a pack and fires of a handball to advantage! Thoughts?? High praise, but guys like this that move instinctively and give handball to correct options can cut teams to ribbons!

My Best, Gawn, Watts, Viney,Garlett Vander thing, Kennedy, Tyson and really super impressed with Oliver today! One other thing Jimmy Toumpas, after a reasonable first quarter he went miising Big Time in typical Front Runner Misere fashion which was common occurance in his time with us! Absolutely no loss and we picked up Ben Kennedy who had a ripper game! As the guy at the sideshow would say Winner Winner Winner!!

Agree For Grimes and Matt Jones to get a game even in an extended bench is an indictment of our depth. FWIW Throw Tom Mc Donald up forward, move Frost down back. I also agree with the opinion already expressed that Oscar Mc Donald hasn't and nevr will have it!

Mc Donald getting towelled up again and his younger brother not much better. OLIVER BEEN VERY GOOD SO FAR READS PLAY VERY WELL SOME GREAT CREATIVE HANDBALLS

I hope you are trying to say that McKenzie was never a footballer but this Kid certainly looks like one!

Welcome Clayton Oliver annnnnnnnnnn d, come on Downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!

Oliver to debut!! Wundabar!! Really looking forward to watching this kid! Go Dees

Say no more! Are you excited Dazzle Man??

Grimes getting a game is a retrograde step IMO. Blood youth!! Grimes and Tregove very much backups only!

Sheeit I do! I want him to force his way into this team round 1 and sweep all before him! We haven't had a young high draft pick in years who comes straight into the team and tears the opposition a new one! Very welcome to the Club Clayton Oliver!! Given his very good form Friday I think if he's ready then so be it play him in the NAB cup games and if he continues showing the form he did Friday then what a tremendous shot in the arm for all Demon supporters, his family and himself! IF PICKED ROUND 1 " COMETH THE HOUR COMETH THE MAN " Luv this bloke already

Jimmy Who?? Move on * Has no pace * Panics when gets the ball,* Panics when hasn't got the ball ^ Whew thank God he's gone! Massive Massive FAIL! in his time at MFC

Sheeit I do! I want him to force his way into this team round 1 and sweep all before him! We haven't had a young high draft pick in years who comes straight into the team and tears the opposition a new one! Very welcome to the Club Clayton Oliver!!

Gawd I'm over this thread ,,, But I can't help myself! I was one very vigorous poster well and truly wanting Wines Over Toumpas. I don't care what 8 or 9 Recruiters said, I had seen enough of Wines to know he was the inside Grunt Warhorse and that we needed, so much more than an outside finisher in Toumpas Not that my opinion matters a Whit with many around here but now here is the stark reality. Double Blow for MFC We didn't get Wines and Toumpas has left after 3 lamentable Seasons. You can say what you like about who we picked up after Yadda Yadda but the reality is we got it so badly wrong and within that we really lost out on the Value that Wines would most certainly provided and doubly so The Value Toumpas never gave us! Given our history of dreadful draft picks we really couldn't afford to get that one so wrong IMV
