A lot can happen in 12 months, especially for a big kid at this age. Hopefully he can come through.

Let's go out there and win! Give Clarry the support he needs and make give AMW a debut to remember! Odds are against us but we can do it, go Dees!

The club psychologist gets involved in weekly selection now? Yeesh

We just need some good and preferably living players.

If he never gets drafted it's not illegal. Once they're on the list though the 'leave them alone' threads can be posted to our heart's content.

The beat thing to do would be to complain as much as possible.

Back and better than ever.

The selectors definitely come on here so be nice.

I'd be interested to hear the explanation

This place when AMW is named as sub tomorrow..

I'm just getting frustrated with this incessant desire to not reward anyone who shows some ticker. He'll be back I'm sure, just for god's sake don't make AMW sub or this place will be torn apart.

Not angry, just disappointed.

Yeah I can definitely see that Hardtack. There is a need to hear those guitars a bit more buzzing and just, well, loud!

A Steven May clone would be handy

Guess the next 6 months will tell a bit

Doesn't matter how well you wrote this post, there will always be people on here who only want to read what THEY WANT TO READ. The facepalm reactions usually reveal their identities and often they don't belong in public or any kind of social setting. They usually have no friends and find coming on a forum like this the easiest thing to do from under their rock or echo chamber. A person convinced against their will is of the same opinion still and the sooner we learn to live and let live, the better.

Nothing wrong with giving a shout out to a good local brand that supports Australian made and keeping jobs here. 10 years of support in this day and age of AFL sponsorship is something to be proud of 😀

I think you're right, from here on out the midfield is going to look a lot different to how we know it. As will their individual roles. Risks will be taken and when they pay off we'll see masterstrokes like Rivers through the middle. Plenty to play for and plenty of potential silver linings to come out of the setbacks.

Maybe it's a sign that we've been a pretty good football team for a while? 🤪

Darcy is too good for that mob. Wish he was able to choose us when drafted.

Turn it up

Retirement talk is premature. I can understand if he's thinking that but it's barely been 2 x weeks since the incident, things are still raw and are going to need time for the smoke to settle. As Wells said, if he still feels this way in 6 x weeks then it gets a bit more real. Right now I think he just needs to feel whatever he feels.

I'm just trying to show that despite some of the criticism, I'm very confident that everyone here loves Clayton and is not trying to disrespect him in any way. Your views are a good example of this, some might not like but why would you, someone who turns up every week want to disrespect one of our stars for no reason? I would hope that people don't associate hate with everything that isn't pom pom waving support.

Pretty much nailed exactly how I'm feeling Jaded. We can only judge by what we see on the field, this can be a good and bad thing. The fact is we just don't know what is happening behind closed doors. For all we know, the guy could be slugging it out on the track at the moment but simply down on confidence, which most of us know can make any of us a shell of ourselves at work/home/anywhere. The one thing you can't accuse Clayton of is complaining and he's obviously doing the best he can in the spot he's in. I was happy for the initial critique of his game on Sat but it's time to move past that. I'm ready to see what he can do on Fri night. He needs our support and we'll give it.

Quick poll: How many of you here who frequent Demonland hate Clayton Oliver and wish nothing but the worst for him? Anyone? Didn't think so..
