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.

Great challenge looms this week against Finn Maginness - lets see how both Clarry and the team approach it, as I thought we were a bit embarrassing last time in the melts post game about it.

I hope Clarry plays a selfless role if tagged, and let’s Petracca go for it.

They have bigger problems trying to curtail Gawn though I reckon.

From memory, Gawn wasn't dominant at all against them last year. He tends to struggle against the lesser known rucks. Hawks ball movement a real concern for us. Their stoppage play matched ours last year too. Not a gimme game by any stretch.

Yeah Gawn will put in a stinker against Ned Reeves, nothing surer

Got 2 Brownlow votes against them in round 9 (v Meek).

In the round 23 game he had 20 disposals, 7 marks, 5 clearances, 22 hitouts (v Reeves who had 26 hitouts but didn't do a lot else).

is the perfect example of why this blokes disposals give me the shits sometimes.
Browns so cooked the smoke alarms going off but look at the care he had with the footy going inside 50 last 2 weeks. If someone his size can find targets inside 50 there's no excuse for anyone on the team

he had 44% disposal efficiency last night.

You had 0% post efficiency what's your point

 

[Dancing Potato]

Needs to go do another mini-preason then play some VFL before being selected again.

 

[Topkent]

He's probably the reason player weights got banned.

Topkent won the Oliver war, sweet victory after everyone gave him shit after the Bulldogs game. 3 cheers for TK everyone..

Hip Hip.....

The ultimate self-sacrificial team game from Clarry, the frees and 50s were just a smokescreen to make north think they were getting 1 over on us by tagging him and not move phillips to a player who has had an effective disposal in the last 24 months. Sometimes you just have to sit back and admire genius at work.

 

[ABray10]

I always worried that he could be better if he cleaned up his kicking and added some burst to his game.

Now I would just take him getting his natural game back on track, win contested footy and handball it. Don't need anything else, just for him to stop being shit at everything.

Can do that at Casey

Big "LEAVE BRITNEY ONLY" energy going on over at the 'Land with this ALL CAPS thread.

Disclaimer: I went there to find any info on Brown potentially playing or not, and came away with this instead. I'm not disappointed.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Poor guy, earning 1m a year to absolutely suck. We should go easy on him.

Should be given the option to wear a moo moo if it makes him feel more comfortable on the field

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Needs to play as Jordy Mckenzie deluxe. Tagger or not in the team and then **** him off to Norf/Saints/whoever at the end of the year.

Christ they quoted how many disposals he's averaging this year to pump his tyres...repeatedly.
