Curious if anyone out there knows about this guy's form?
He's transferred across to Waikerie in the Riverland.
I understand he's a bit of a gun and scored lots of goals....anyone know of him?

He played for Ardrossan for the past few years and kicked heaps of gaols, before the Balakava not sure of his age or anything but from what Ive read can play!

Played against him when he was playing for Balaklava. Probably only just 6ft but very strong bodied, as a FF you could under rate him due to his size but on the lead his hands are second to none and rarely misses shots on goal. Would appear to be chasing the money around, I know he was getting good money with Balak and probably more to go to Ardrossan.

Talking to the Waikerie coach - they've been mates for a while.
Brenton Kay (coach) is a dryland farmer and he's been dealing with Oliver through work for a fair while.
Waikerie offering $$$$$$???? Ha ha ha, never....

he aint that good . at ardrossen they had a very good midfield that feed him very well they beat us easily and i think he only got 2 or 3 as we shut the midfield down .

How did they beat you easily if you shut the midfield down?

Just thought it worth updating - Oliver's had a great start to the season. Booted 10 goals in each of the past two matches. I've seen some vision of him playing - bit of a freak.

I have watched him make grown men look like little boys on a number of occaisions, he is big strong and kicks them from angles, good luck to numbers that have to stand him!!!!
