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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
