All aboard the Oliver Express

[What 18,810]

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.

About time Hunt got a nomination!

[picket fence 17,862]

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! 

[Lord Travis 10,785]

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.

Missing him around the stoppages today?? You don't say! !!

[whatwhat say what 23,165]

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.

[whatwhat say what 23,165]

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

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

Great group.

They and it are terrible.

Curtis!!!

[CBDees 3,167]

And Oliver is now playing Finals after today!

[Nasher 33,617]

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?

It was great last year

Has he been Melbourne'd already?

[whatwhat say what 23,165]

i'm hoping it's just because he spent so much time out with injury, but it really is appalling.

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.

Big tip/Prediction next year, Clarry Choo Choo to win B&F 

Not putting any pressure on him at all!!

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 Brayshaw.

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.
