What the hell, check the RIsing Star odds,.  Oliver 9th favourite and paying $67? Are you kidding me?  http://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/australian-rules/afl-rising-star

His last two weeks against quality opposition in wins have been huge, and he is impacting the game as much as any teenager you will see and doing things on the field no teenager should be allowed to do in the AFL.  Petracca is 3rd favourite, but Oliver has been better surely?

Oliver's impact is far greater than CP's ATM.

What a brilliant move in swapping picks to get Oliver and Weideman and giving up our first this year, which is getting less valuable each round. Both these boys now have a season under their belt and will keep improving.

That deal and the Tyson/Salem deal will prove to be masterstrokes.

He was much higher but unfortunately he has missed too many games to be a chance. Think he missed 4-5 games? And his output tapered off before he was dropped. 

Regardless of that award, he will become the best player of the lot in my opinion.

Midfield getting Smashed and so what a HUGE mistake this was not playing him! Shocking shizen decision and NOW it comes back to bite hard!

Typical Melbourne! Stuff up!

Yep we're missing him around the stoppages today. Hopefully he dominates VFL finals and helps Casey to a premiership.

If he gets fitter over summer he could become our best player very quickly.

agreed, he should be in. our second best clearance player, in only his first year.

 

am i wrong or does him playing in the vfl today qualify him for vfl finals?

 

i don't know what to say about brayshaw. his second year has been a shocker.

It does qualify him for VFL finals and I suspect it's the reason why he is playing VFL this weekend.

Gets an additional (hopefully) four weeks of game time now thanks to this excellent selection decision. This will be far more beneficial for his development than a few extra weeks of holidays. Well done MFC.

What do you reckon about that picket?

brayshaw's short disposal under no pressure is THE WORST i have ever seen.

It was great last year

Has he been Melbourne'd already?

Brayshaw's inside work (contested footy) is good. I see no reason why his short disposal under pressure won't improve. He isn't a panicked player. Just relax Andy. It is all good. Brayshaw was excellent today.

He will still get the same amount of holidays, he just won't be obliged to start the preseason on day one if he plays vfl finals.

Coaches now have Oliver ranked ahead of Bradshaw.

I do too, Bradshaw's good, but he retired years ago.

If Oliver were to come on here and read your posts I doubt he'd feel pressure. I do think though he'd feel the need to go to the court house and apply for a restraining order.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
