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.

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

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
