Clayton Oliver Dominates Midfield

Clayton Oliver is dominating the midfield for GWS Giants, averaging over 31 disposals per game.

Oliver's impressive form has been a key factor in the Giants' recent wins, including their victory over Fremantle.

The Giants' fast-paced surge from one end of the ground to the other, known as the Orange Tsunami, has been a challenge for opponents to combat.

Geelong will need to find a way to restrict Oliver's impact on the game, particularly in the midfield, where he has been exceptional.

Oliver has created headaches for Geelong in the past, with an average of 32.2 disposals per game across 12 matches.

Oliver currently ranks third in the AFL for total disposals, second for clearances, and first for contested possessions, making him a formidable opponent.

The Giants' ruck battle, led by Kieren Briggs, has also been a key factor in their success, with the team holding the highest hit-out to advantage percentage in the competition.

The match between Geelong and GWS Giants is set to be an exciting one, with both teams looking to come out on top, on 18 Jul 2026, at ENGIE Stadium
