The Clayton Oliver Statistical Analysis Thread

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

But it's perfectly ok to include games where Oliver was clearly managed?

BF at its best

I hate this term, but you are so salty. Why are you taking it so personally?
They're amazing numbers being put up by Oliver. He's ahead in some and he's behind in some, but not by heaps. It's a good comparison. There's nothing to be upset about here.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

If you're going to do it that way then do the same thing for the other player. Take out the games where his tog was managed.

If you alter the games counted just for one player then it's clearly biased

It's reflected in the time on ground % where Oliver has the advantage. The other way to do it would be to extrapolate the averages out to reflect them both playing 100% game time but I can't be stuffed doing that just to keep you happy.

Lol, who said I'm taking it personally? You're the one squirming for a response.

I have no issue with taking those games out for Cripps, my point is why don't you do the same thing for Oliver?

How you could interpret that as being salty is actually pretty pathetic

Lol now who is being salty.

Why make another thread? Good have just bumped the discuss good players one and not caused the cluster**** this thread has now become.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Amazing to think that just two years ago this guy was not even picked in the Metro/Country(?) squad!! Star of the future without a doubt.

 

[HBF]

Yeah, not with Carlton though.

That wasn't the point i was making, but thanks for playing.

When the boogeyman goes to sleep, he checks under his bed for Clayton Oliver

To be fair, Oliver is probably more scary lookin'.

Spoiler: If you're not interested in sleeping tonight

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

He's averaging 31.7 disposals per game and 122.1 metres gained per match. If you do the maths, that's less than 4m gained per possession.

In terms of sheer numbers he's unprecedented, but not in terms of impact.

 

[demondavey]

Oliver is good, will probably become great. Do we need a new thread on him every week?

Yes

Out of curiosity how do u find the stats for meters gained?
Cheers

So a clearance to a player in space is having no impact on a game.

LOL

 

[demondavey]

He throws the ball a lot.

Hasn't hit the scoreboard all year.

Overrated.

Come at me.

Not overrated. Just not a noted goal kicker. Played 19 games, I'll give him a bit of leeway on it just yet.

 

[demondavey]

Refuses to kick and half his handballs are deemed illegitimate by the umpires. Quite the dilemma.

He kicks it. The bulldogs won a flag by throwing it, everyone does it these days.

 

[t_94]

Clayton Oliver to Striker475 = Black Caviar to Gerard Whateley

 

[Rusty22]

He'll be top 10 in the brownlow if not win it

He's too busy getting the ball and busting through packs. His 80% DE says he does something with it. Why so angry, son?

Genuine question.
I know a handball to a teammate's advantage is counted as effective disposl, but what about a half metre handpass to a teammate that results in a ball up?

 

[Hubnester]

<Snip - probably a bad idea to raise those issues here.>

But he's just a kid, so who knows what can happen as he matures.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Cmon mate haven't we learnt about overhyping our kids? I know Oliver looks exceptional but let's keep it to Moist biscuit sessions on our own board for now.

Efa*

 

[paradux]

John Georgiadis kicked 8 goals on debut.
Jason Tutt kicked 4 goals with his first 4 kicks in AFL football.

Adrian Mcadam, 7 on debut followed by 10, 6, 3, 3 and 9

I see him as being a combination of Michael Voss, Simon Black, and Cameron Ling.

Genuinely exciting prospect. Dees keep hitting gold with their draft picks, Watts, Petracca, Oliver. Dees are like the Beatles of draft day.

 

[MUYB]

Pathetic thread, Oliver is not the greatest second year player.

He is clearly the greatest ever human.

Not hard to do when you always get a top 5 pick, check out the crows not a single top 10 pick on the list, yet sitting top of the ladder.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Heading towards Bont status.

Come on, he's way past him!
I think he's left GAJ behind as well.

Are you asking because Oliver does them
"all the time"? He doesn't, feel free to watch a full game. Don't let your biased get in the way of presenting actual facts.
