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.

****in hell he is good

Best game hes played in a while having the least possessions hes had in ages. Just shows how overrated possession counts are. BOG without doubt. Will be super pissed if he doesnt get the coaches votes and Brownlow votes over the likes of Trac who had 7 more touches and minimal impact.

 

[Topkent]

Was unbelievable in this game. Complete agree with Rude I'm not even checking his disposal count but if he had 20 then fantastic because he was hugely effectual in this game. Seemed like every disposal he got was on the move and he wasn't just trying to get numbers. When he plays like that he's a monster.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

How much has he improved his goal kicking? Unbelievable honestly. Thought when he kicked those set shot goals in the finals last year it was just a fluke and he would revert back to the usual this season but it appears the improvement is for real. Credit to Choco and Clarry for working hard at it.

the "we're/hes working incredibly hard" meme ... Goody loves saying that shit, but in this case its actually true it seems

*in hell he is good

I honestly don't think I've ever seen another player who can just go into the contest pick up the ball clean and be totally unaffected by opponents smashing into him. His hands are almost cleaner in this situation than if he's out in space. He's just on a completely different level to everyone else who can't do these things.

Tore the Sydney mids to shreds, looked an absolute class and a half above Parker/Mills etc, ripper game after last week. Great response.

 

[TheBoss]

He said he loves playing Sydney after their recruiter called him a fatty in his draft year

 

[stEdy]

And I reckon he loved the opportunity to play on Mills, who the Dees bid on before Clarry.

Just an absolute competitive animal. Reminds me of MJ and how personally he'd take things/use grudges to his advantage to stay on the edge.

Superstar

 

[Topkent]

You guys can jump on me for the wines thing but I know what I ment, when he's only winning it inside and hacking it he's a standard average inside mid.

When he plays like he did yesterday he's a completely different animal. You could push Viney and Sparrow out of the middle and trust him to win it alone and surround him with damaging players. Maybe it's too much to ask him to play like that all the time but he should be able to play closer to that than last week.

Demons midfielder fast becoming one of the most accomplished players of the last 20 years

The Demons midfielder is in superb form again in 2023.

Don't know about "beautiful kick" lol, but he deserves more plaudits in the media

 

[TheBoss]

Second most accomplished player, after Ollie Wines

 

[Proper Gander]

I never plan to let go of the Ollie Wines jokes

 

[Topkent]

I never plan to let go of the Ollie Wines jokes

If it was me I'd be above that.

 

[TheBoss]

The jokes will be embarrassing is Wines bradburies another Brownlow on the way to a Port flag while snagging the Norm Smith

 

[stEdy]

If Clarry has actually learned how to kick goals then the competition is going to be in big trouble

 

[Topkent]

Just be less or more selfish whatever the term is. Get forward of the footy. Use his engine. Break free of stoppages etc. The goals are an awesome bonus of that.

The

part of me'd really like to see the actual unprecedented thread re-opened and bumped (would tag the visionary, LeverPuller, here too if I knew how) -

The Clayton Oliver Statistical Analysis Thread

Acknowledging an existing thread discussing young players including Hipwood, Oliver etc I genuinely feel there can be a separate thread for Oliver who I think is pulling away from that pack. The rationale is as follows and based off the stats presented 6th in average disposals/game =8th in...

The Harrison Petty part did give me a good chortle - thanks.

He’s a genuine Hall of Famer and is only missing a Brownlow from his CV and only just entering his peak. I can firmly say I’m pretty happy with the call.

Yep. Absolute gun
