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

[Topkent]

That opening line "the hardest skill is finding the footy"...

Literally one of the easiest these days with no taggers, players playing ring-a-rosey handball, getting credited a stat for kick ins etc

Debutants piss in 20 disposals now it's almost impossible not to get a heap of stats.

In fact it's literally never been easier in History to get disposals. Swing and a ******* miss again from old mate.

Which kinda makes the total mship numbers irrelevant

Membership deals are like mortgage loans. There is a loyalty tax applied

Yeah I was fairly impressed when we got the number to 60k earlier in the year but if this pushes us to 70k it will be a completely false economy.

I think the strategy is to build the momentum of our MCG crowds leading into finals We will have Friday night home games against Carlton and Collingwood in the last few rounds.

just ask Cam Rayner.

 

[Crusty Demon]

I think the stat that matters is contested possessions. Blokes sitting out the pack not playing on an opponent can rack up easy possessions these days, but Clarry bloody earns them. Still never easy to win a contested ball. His numbers are off the charts. He's a freak. Cripps and Libba the only 2 who go close. I love the red headed bastard! Will potentially go down as our third best ever player behind Ron and Robbie when he's finished. Great signing. Probably means Dogga is gone though..

For me it's essentially a donation, I get what you're saying, it's like foxtel entice new customers by giving them a package at half price but loyal customers get slugged 150 a month.

Across the 52 debutants this year, they average 11.86 disposals

Of the 52, how many of them got 20? 3 did. 3/52 = 5.8%

So you are 5.8% correct, 94.2% full of it!

Not sure about you but 5.8% is a big fail in my books. Back away now that you've been proven incorrect, yet again.

Our dear friend Topkent never said all debutants do that, or even a majority - just "debutants".

And I guess debutants have notched up 20 disposals this year - three of them, in fact!

A massive congratulations to those 3!

Ease up, champ

My bad. Should have explained it twice. Once for everyone in the world and then a little more detailed for someone else.

Dont shoot down poor Danny's post like that so quickly, this was his "gotcha" moment, let him think he had TK for more than 4 minutes.

Youre such a campaigner Headless.

It's easy to get disposals these days you basically just have to not man up, eventually someone will find you on your own. Brad Johnson

lol 'almost impossible' not to get a heap of stats. average is just over 11 per debut. That's a lot of impossibles!

Stop trying to get into arguments when you can't handle them mate. Worst type of person who starts it and can't hack it

 

[Grimesy87]

Typical Melbourne syndrome.

Signs a long term contract and misses his first game in 5 years.*

Slated to miss a game but he may yet get up too

 

[pjfairbairn]

Maybe he'll miss out on the BNF now and then play an AMAZING season in a Premiership winning team.

 

[Daemon]

I reckon if there's even a slim chance he can play with the hand bandaged, he will. Guy is tough as and will not want to miss a game.

He’s done it before: Oliver plays after mid-week surgery

It's gonna be a slaughter come finals

Back-to-back for Clarry. Star

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I know its nothing to do with us, but absolutely stoked for Touk.

 

[Proper Gander]

Me too.

You’re surely stoked for Clarry also though? He is an exceptional player

I am but hes won awards and that before, Miller hadn't received much recognition playing for such a bad team his whole career. And I just love his story and how hes become a gun, from tagger, to club captain and gun ball winner who shows up every week for his team.

Love players who get to the top when never expected to do so. Never would have guessed Miller would be the player he is today in his first season.
