Player Watch #13 Clayton Oliver – UNPRECEDENTED 4x B&F, 3x AA, 2x AFLCA Winner and Premiership Player (formerly)

[Scythe94]

OK, I've removed about three pages of posts.

Please do not use this thread to speculate about Oliver's private life – medical or otherwise.

Regardless of the veracity of your rumour, or what you know/have heard, if it's not public knowledge, just don't post it.

I don't want to turn this place into Demonland, but if you can't see the potential harm that this sort of rumour-spreading can cause (regardless of your intentions), then perhaps it's best if you take a bit of a break.

Thanks.

I am but hes won awards and that before, Miller hadn't received much recognition playing for such a bad team his whole career. And I just love his story and how hes become a gun, from tagger, to club captain and gun ball winner who shows up every week for his team.

Love players who get to the top when never expected to do so. Never would have guessed Miller would be the player he is today in his first season.

Yeah I get this and I love Touk too. I also love that he has stuck with a club when everyone else departed.

But I still love the Clarry story too

I know its nothing to do with us, but absolutely stoked for Touk.

I usually get draft stuff way off because I know nothing about it, but I did really want a Petracca/Brayshaw/Miller trio in that draft because I read somewhere that they were friends.

Thanks for reading.

Are you Jason Taylor, Les?

You seem VERY ITK about drafting to me.

I just looked it up. Miller went at 29 and our third pick wasn't until 40 lol.

Maybe we traded out, because I'm sure I wanted that trio pre-draft and it was at least somewhat realistic.

Perhaps not.

Cheers!

He looked like a gun in his first year , so to me I kind of expected all this honestly. Probably do take him for granted far too much tho.

And yes, Miller's loyalty is another great part of the story, kind of like a Nathan Jones story for us, always great to see those sort of players get recognition.

I wish he could trade his rising star nom in for a personality and Morrish medal for the ability to talk.

I think you have a great personality, friend.

I reckon he's actually got a bit going from a personality perspective, but yeah, I could give more coherent speeches on four tabs of acid.

 

[Scythe94]

God I hope he wins the Brownlow, purely for the speech.

Lol who couldn't have any less of a personality on camera.

Although JB was saying on the rush hour he shook Clarrys hand before the Brissy game and he asked him how he goes kicking with the broken thumb and Clarrys response was ' I can't ****ing kick anyway'

Ive met cardboard with more personality than Clarry I reckon.

Where has that sharp Clarry been hiding? Thats the type of stuff id love to hear and see on a regular basis. Not the mumbling nimrod we usually get.

Being a coaches association winner should be more prestigious than a Brownlow medal. But I couldn't even tell you who has ever won the award.

Ollie Wines and Tom Mitchell, winning the brownlow in recent years says all you need to know about the award. Genuine plodders.

Goody!

Did you only learn that like me today because Olly is the first bloke to tie the award since... Goody!

Its voted on by ****ing umpires. If the umpires had to hold a press conference after a game to explain their votes no one would give a flying rats toss bag.

Haha yeah, its funny that almost all of footy society treats the umpires with complete contempt, then swoon over their pick for B&F.

The coaches award would have more credibility to me if the votes weren't made public, I always think something dodgy is going on later in the year and a coach will try and get one of his players home.

The votes shouldn't be public all year IMO, I agree just about all the winners are legit but coaches definitely put out some 'odd' votes at times (Although nowhere near as bad as some brownlow votes).

I agree, keep the votes cut off all year.

Yea umps have some strange calls but you cant accuse them of trying to fix the count like you can coaches.
