Yeah, you can call them 'inside' sources... :p

I hate comparisons, they just never are correct. You see people saying, he's a 'poor mans Matthew Broadbent' for example, like what is that suppose to mean??!!

Oliver moulds his game on Rockliff & Cripps... Ah Chee won't be a forward forever, I expect him to move into the midfield in his AFL career. I wouldn't be comparing anyone to Sam Lloyd.



I believe so- yes.
Oliver moulding his game on rockcliffe and Cripps is bullshit And the source doesn't getting any more reliable .

Burton seems similar to Lennon. Whats your opinion?
Not at all for me. Lennon played off half back during U18s etc, Burton hasn't done that. Think of Burton as sort of a Jack Gunston player, high half forward.

Lennon did play that role at times this year, but I wouldn't be rating them as being similar. Burton will be a forward for live IMO, I think Lennon will work into the midfield.

I feel Daniel Rioli is a good fit for what we are looking for at the moment small FWD wise , thoughts Tiges ?

some highlights


There's a younger Rioli isn't there ? It would be interesting to get a comparison at the same age between these 2. I think the younger one was at the club earlier this year & is 14ish, from memory? (Happy to be corrected by those in the Know)

As I have already pointed out it was put to him at the start of the year he needed to play like Rockcliffe who was also a bushranger and then later in the season like Cripps . Oliver has been on the radar for almost 10 years he was encouraged by his fav club to play like that and this comes from being directly privy to some of these events or conversations with his father , Steve .
I don't h believe that a 17 / 18 year olds career is moulded in 8-9 months .
I think you also need to consider the undisclosed line of questioning that leads up to clips put together . I suggest it went something like
' So clayton some say you play like rockcliffe and Cripps '
I'd like to play like rockcliffe and Cripps '
What a minute I'll just ask that again as we record .
' So Clayton who do you want to play like '
Don't forget these kids are often doing their first interview , are shitting razor blades and as such are easily lead .
Keep in mind that Oliver as a junior was a aerobic machine and in 2014 played in senior footy as a KPF .
