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 would have thought Petracca would have polled best for us.

vs Bris - 2BOG behind Oliver
vs Geel - 2BOG behind Gawn
vs WB - BOG

He did

Kicking those 2 set shots was huge for Clarry. I gave him no chance at the game lol

Im starting to warm to Clutchton Oliver, far better than Petchoker.

Was writing both shots off from the grandstand myself. Shocked he nailed both.

Bontempelli deserved more than 1 vote.

Salem getting 2 is a surprise.

Salem getting 2 is a surprise.

His first half was very good from what I remember. Bont deserved 3 much more than Daniel, the short man had 50 dinky kicks but didn't really hurt with them. Bont was on fire for 2 1/2 quarters

Salem getting 2 is a surprise.

I’ve disliked salem this year but he had an excellent gf.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Yea, Salem was easily better than Oliver in the GF (as was Brayshaw) Clayton getting 5 is the real surprise.

 

[Decimation]

Salem in the GF was right in the mix in the first half. Him, Bont, Treloar Petracca all up there.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

They’ve changed it because they know May was about to become the first player ever to win the medal while getting knocked out in straight sets

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Based on this fix Johannisen and Kennedy would have tied in 2016, and Petracca would have won in 2021.

Dusty would still have won in 2017, 2019 and 2020 (by larger margins), and Sidebottom would still have won in 2018 but only by 2 votes from Taylor Adams

Now a 4x B&F, 3x AA, 2x AFLCA winner and premiership player by age 25.

One of our greats

If he could go forward and kick goals he would be one of the all time AFL greats.

If he can play at this level until he's 30, to be conservative, he'll be an all time great anyway

 

[stEdy]

Even kicked a couple of set shots in a final. That was cool

Doesn't mean he can't improve. He never needs to train another contested ball again he should be trying to round himself off. For all the 38 disposal games he could be way more effective getting 26 with some scoreboard impact.

 

[danster168]

anyone else there in his first preseason game in his first year out in Craigieburn? against the dogs I think from memory. he got interviewed by Barry Hall after the game. he played super well.

They were clutch too.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

anyone got the speech, bet it was amazing.

Dory_77 or RandB, the pedant in me is desperate for a thread title update

Dory_77 love you xx

His game against the Swans in the QF should be what he aims to do every week.

I loved his clutch goals but he wasn't a forward presence per say. He kicked 2 from holding the ball tackles ( which is ****ing awesome and a disgrace to the rest) but I wanna see him kick more stoppage, or burst forward and take an uncontested mark after out working his man.

 

[Topkent]

Tom Mitchell, Priddis and others get shut on for being stat padding crabs, Oliver was every bit as bad and worse than that. Shittest game I've seen in a long time. Him getting the footy hurt us more than Gawn going off the ground.
