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

[Djcjdees]

The technique im talking about not the decision or the outcome

But who gives a toss about the technique if it works? That's my whole point

 

[Djcjdees]

Ps judging by Claytons' responses to the Facebook posts about him , it looks like he's across all the social media platforms and i reckon he just might read bigfooty too...

so if you're reading this Clay, we love you, you big red fire engine. Welcome aboard son.

As someone with Clayton as a first name, I'm pretty sure he'd HATE "Clay" as an abbreviation.

There is a dude I work with who has that name, but I'm pretty sure its not you because he spells it Cleighton (which is weird rather than authentic I would guess). People don't call him Clay because they don't call him anything. I really hope you are not him anyway. If you are him, worth keeping in mind that what with the number of reflective surfaces in the office, there is no such thing as discreet nose picking.

Because that technique wont work at AFL level

I despise people who name their kids the "different way" just to be individual about it ... subjecting your child to a life time of having to spell our their name every single time is nothing short of cruel

What about Ladasha spelt La-a ???

I'm pretty sure everyone is just going to call him Oli and pretend we drafted him 3 years ago.

Classic bogan name.

Up there with
Abcde (pronounced Ab-suh-dee) and CVIIIlin (Caitlin. The VIII is 8 in Roman numerals)

Special place in hell for those people ...

But seriously, is someone actually named CVIIIlin? ... that deserves a prison sentence ...

I would actually give props to that bogan for knowing what the number 8 is in roman numerals!!! Would have to be careful that people didn't pronounce it "one hundred and eightlin" given the C at the beginning!

It's easy to figure out: Rocky V + Rocky III = Rocky VIII, Adrian's Revenge!

I remember way back at high school, they used to hand out the year lists with kids, parents names and phone numbers and such. One poor kid - mum's name was Kaz, dad's name was John, kid's name was Kazjohn. Definitely grounds for social services to step in.

Who else read that and heard the presenter at the darts in their head? one hundrED AND EEEEIIIIIGGGGHHHHHTTTLIIINNNN

 

[Dr Whoooooooo]

This kid has something special Ive actually seen him live when he played for the Tigers VFL side, he just knows where to go and accumulates possessions.

I even saw JT at the game and thought nothing of it ....

This makes me sad.

This reminds me of this"Do you want to change your name to 'Homer Junior'? The kids can call you HoJu!"

 

[melbournemartin]

So yeah, the third page of this thread has been fairly crap.

 

[Clint Bizkit]

That passage of play where he bounced 3 times could be the worst bounces I've ever seen

That's one area of his game that needs urgent attention.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Bouncing should be pretty easy to fix, it's not an overly complicated skill

 

[PitchBlease]

We cannot condone bouncing of the seventh variety.

 

[schmuttt]

You know its the offseason when we're discussing the way a guy bounced the ball one time

 

[Demon 16]

You know its the offseason when we're discussing the way a guy bounced the ball one time

2 out of 3 times, 1 time.

 

[ponsdale]

...in a non-afl match

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

...in a non-afl match

Tbf though Melbourne supporters know the standard of non-AFL matches better than most.

 

[Watts Up]

He wouldn't have gone pick 4 if there was an issue with his bouncing of the ball. And I'm absolutely sure he wouldn't mind being refereed to as 'Clay' in some quarters.
