The Clayton Oliver Statistical Analysis Thread

[dave_demon]

That's pretty embarrassing. Guess he thought he had to make up for it by acting tough afterwards. Worse than matt crouches effort.

He copped a clip on the chin, spoke about after on 7, sais he was surprised by it, wasn't expecting it and caught him flush on jaw

 

[LeverPuller]

Still had 28 touches and 8 clearances despite the tag and the dive. Oh, and hit the handball to Hibberd which won us the game.



In Clarry We Trust.

 

[LeverPuller]

Copped the heavy tag, 28 disposals 8 clearances @ 74%

 

[Jiggyman]

Not a very tough midfield to beat tonight for young Oliver, but he had a great game nonetheless.

Unprecedented dive?

You're a flog.

Be nice to answer with actual discussion rather than meaningless conjecture. He had a good game, chill out son.

Unprecedented this unprecedented that, it's pathetic.

He's just a young kid doing well in a tough environment. If you feel the need to laud him. which I doubt, do so, but spare us the smart arse remarks.

I know you're not used to winning, but at least read the posts. You won, good show!

People need to upgrade their tv's if they think that elbow didn't get him pretty good.

I'd prefer him not to have gone down but it's a natural reaction to being whacked on the chin.

Got back up, had 19 second half touches and played an important part in the winning goal. I'll take that.

 

[Topkent]

That was a dive, but I hope it doesn't completely take away from how good a game it was
People are talking about Sloan as a superstar yet he is tagged out of the game. Viney does his shoulder and then a 19 year old kid steps up and has 19 touches in the second half WHILE being tagged. Gun

 

[Andre the Giant]

AFL players would experience incidental contact worse than what happened to Oliver 20 times a game and not even flinch.

I have been impressed with him thus far even though he has a propensity to cheat and throw the ball but that dive was nothing short of a disgrace.

He shouldn't be sanctioned, he just should be universally mocked for a cringeworthy and embarrassing act.

 

[teknodeejay]

Embarrassing dive by a promising player
Unprecedented has his picture in the dictionary

 

[AZZA_23]

Great player at such a young age and your recruiting manager deserves a pay rise cos he nailed that pick - but he's no BONT!

 

[JayJ20]

I don't know why we have a player thread on the mainboard.
That's the purpose of club boards

Inb4unprecedented

 

[Marc_Remillard]

Anyone who is saying there was no contact made is dreaming.

 

[teknodeejay]

don't know why we have a player thread on the mainboard.

When someone is unprecedented as this example of perfection they deserve their own main board thread and it should be auto legendary

 

[Cruiserweight Champ]

Statistically (since this is Stat thread) - he ranks first for disposals per game after first two seasons with arguably the best players after two seasons ;
C. Oliver (after 26 games) - 24.6 pos - Fantasy Avg: DT: 85.7 SC: 89.5
C.Judd - (after 45 games) 16.6 - DT: 69.6 SC: first three seasons not available on fanfooty)
N.Fyfe - (after 39 games) 20.6 DT: 83.3 SC: 90.3
M. Bontempelli (after 36 games) - 20.0 - DT: 82.1 SC: 92.4

 

[Trav 20]

We could conceivably never win again or never lose again and I won't change. Winning or losing is irrelevant to my analysis of the content by others.

Oliver was fantastic again last night, but human nature being what it is dishes up rubbish, which is best highlighted by the last few posts.

 

[Sunzie88]

That disgraceful dive was the only thing I've seen so far that is unprecedented

 

[ApplecrossWC]

He copped a clip on the chin, spoke about after on 7, sais he was surprised by it, wasn't expecting it and caught him flush on jaw

No it didn't. If it caught him flush on the jaw his head would have gone back instantly, not a whole second later.

The guy is a liar and a diver, just a s**t bloke.

Yeah natural reaction is for your head to go back a second later and then you fall to the ground.

He's a grub.

Unprecedented that a bloke with that avatar is complaining about diving and milking free kicks, takes one to know one, eh?

 

[Tasfut]

A great player that will be a superstar of the game for the next 10 years.

But he should be fined for that dive, we don't need or want that in this great game.

Can you really punish someone for having a glass jaw?
