Player Watch #13 Clayton Oliver – UNPRECEDENTED 4 x B&F, 3 x AA, 2 x AFLCA Winner and Premiership Player

We'll have a few mids that can swing forward and embarrass their tagger one on one.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Guess it will be the same decision the dogs have to make with Stringer
Is he more valuable as an impossible matchup in the 50 who can kick 4-5 and break open a game
Or a bloke who gets it 20-30 times in the midfield and rests forward

He needs to do it a few times before we're making any decisions, but yes hopefully that is the 'dilemma' which will present itself to us

Should have been ineligible for the POTY based on some of those posts.

Are we talking about Petracca or Oliver?
I reckon Oliver only has 83 goals in him this year

Will be a gun this bloke. Petracca and Oliver will be the Demons version of the young guns at the Dogs(Bont and Stringer). Enjoy the ride

Any news on how Oliver is going? His Roos training update should be coming up on the website but haven't heard much.

Knowing our luck with our first selection each year he's probably dead.

I had a moment of dread when I read this. It seemed so likely. But he's still breathing and done something horrible to his hair (which means next moment he tries to get traded to Collingwood).

Has he dyed it Matthew Bate style.

If he shows up with the beginnings of a sleeve tattoo...

He's alive!

“Young Clayton has come down from the country. He’s got a good size AFL body, which gives him a bit of an advantage over some of the first-year players. He looks like he’s going to be a good runner too – he burst out of the blocks in a 300-metre run. But he’s learning good habits, like all of the young kids.” – Paul Roos

Can't wait to watch this guy play for the Dee's. One of my favourite players from last years draft class.

Cheers, would like to know what you particularly liked about him and what stood out.

You hear heaps of media stuff but always good to get a fans perspective.

Has that unique mix of size and strength with a burst of speed and that x factor. Whether that x factor comes in the form of a big fend off and burst out of a pack, or a big mark or a nice goal he just reminds me of someone who could become a Stringer type gun. I'll keep close tabs on him.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Anyone got a definite answer on his height?

lionshine?

 

[Theseventhhamster]

I really wish he didn't look like Jordie Mckenzie after eating Brock Mclean. The aint going to be a sponsor's darling.

My favourite memory of lingy was at the grand final parade when somebody at channel 7 thought it would be funny to write "Prime minister" in the graphic that tells you who people are. (julia was PM at the time)

Hopefully he stays in the squad when it is trimmed by three.

I'm nominating MJones and DTerlich for the first two spots.
