I hope that's zinc he's covered in.....not the results of last nights party!Seriously how anyone can keep saying everything is hunky dory with this lad is beyond me. Very concerned for his welfare
Melbourne superstar Clayton Oliver has taken another break from football.
The troubled midfielder missed last Saturday’s training session in Melbourne and then left the Demons training camp in Lorne early on Monday night.
It’s been well documented Oliver has dealt with personal issues throughout this season including injuries, medical challenges and questions over his behaviour.
Melbourne football boss Alan Richardson said the club would continue to work with Oliver over the Christmas break.
“Clayton is taking a break as he continues to deal with some issues,” Richardson said.
“We are continuing to support Clayton and managing his program in a way that prioritises his health and wellbeing.
“His teammates and staff remain confident he is making good progress.”

The Demons arrived in Lorne on Monday for a three-day bonding exercise but it was decided Oliver should return home later that night.
On Friday it was revealed the premiership hero will face court next year after being caught driving without a licence.
Oliver had been banned from driving for medical reasons after he was hospitalised in October following a seizure.
But he ignored doctors orders, continuing to be behind the wheel before he was busted by police.
Last week Melbourne CEO Gary Pert said Oliver was “in a great headspace” despite his year.
He had returned early to training but had been limited after having a minor knee procedure.
However, he regressed in recent days which saw him sent home from the training camp.
“He wants to be part of something really special,” Pert said about Oliver at Melbourne’s annual members footy forum.
Oliver suffered the seizure when he was at teammate Joel Smith’s house. Smith is currently provisionally suspended after testing positive to cocaine in a sample taken after the Demons win over Hawthorn in Rd 23.
eek!I hope that's zinc he's covered in.....not the results of last nights party!
But being a little serious here someone with much more medical knowledge than myself did query what these lumps may be??.. I have no idea but it was speculated it could be a hernia

Context?
Ha, there is a former Crow who is barred from at least 1 hotel I know of.

Someone mentioned through either this year or last year that Harry was known around the traps as the **** wit in residence at the Fat Controller, saw this week that it was closing down immediately
I have a new found respect for Harry
need Neil back to explain to him how that's a waste of energy.
spent b4 had it isn't remotely similar to footsteps though. Not sure why you felt the need to bring it into the convo. nobody else had.
Hearing footsteps doesn’t mean cowardice, for mine. It means being preoccupied with where other players are, rather than going at the ball without caring who is coming.
I don’t think that anything less than Riewoldt-going-back-with-the-flight-of-the-ball is cowardice.

Hearing footsteps just means flinching or baulking in anticipattion of expected but unseen contact
Yep, and in the context of AFL, I’ve always known that saying to mean someone who is scared.
I agree that the cowards are the ones taking the cheap shot in this scenario … but “hearing footsteps” has never been a sought after tag!

Nice Summary !
Agreed ... best position is 3rd tall but he can be shifted to 2nd tall KPD depending on matchups and in game situation.
Worst sound of any venue by far. What a shit hole

Turkey helps you sleep? Is that just if you eat enough to go into a food coma?
