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.

Absolutely no problem with the club showing backbone and reading the riot act to Clarry.

I just hope that those reading it to him do a bit of soul searching of their own and perhaps ask why there have been too many incidents of player hubris and poor behaviour since the GF win.

Strong leadership is not reactive. It’s pre-emptive. It’s also intelligent, wise and humble. Bit of a concern moving forward tbh. Kane Cornes singled out our coach as not having the best of seasons communication wise in 2023 and I think that’s fair criticism.

I agree, BD.
But its all our players and coaches first win at the dance.

Inexperience is the product of being brides maids for 50+ Years.

We now still have the platform to add more talent to our List, via the draft. But not so via others rejects.

We have slipped behind the Pies and Lions a little, on the talent spectrum. There is only one way to catch up to these rising lists; and that is by the Draft... or by trading in talented under 26yr olds.

I hope this McQualter bloke can get Clarry to break away from packs again. Clarry has the best hands I've ever seen at the club, but he added another layer in 21 when he showed he can break away from the pack with strength and speed.

He can still only handpass with one side of his body.

When ha can run and handball off either side, then he will start to become more damaging.

Along with too many of his mates. One sided.

He took Oliver met with the Carlton coach and turned it into '

I hope Oli wasn't meeting with opposition people, before we played the Blues in the finals, this year.

I'm talking about something that happened in 2020.

or McQualter needs to get him back to using his strength and speed to break away from packs like he was doing in 21.

This, exactly.

Maybe it was around this time when we took our eyes off the footy, and the ball; and played mental tiddlywinks by ourselves.

Bang on. We need to keep our eyes on the footy, and the ball; and play mental tiddlywinks with each other.

Is it the Footscray Emergency Department story, or something else?

I'll need evidence of a dodgy Facebook post first before I believe this rumour

Isn't that just from the person who posts a whole bunch of nonsense rumours on your board?

Thought he personally guaranteed the Oliver and Petty trades, but perhaps I'm mistaken
