Haha that is gold. Now he has broken into the side hopefully he stops pestering Roosy and turns his attention to Hogan with his 70 txt's a day.

"Have you signed yet?

"Have you signed yet"

That would make Hogan leave.

    "probably the most explosive player I have ever played with."

    I certainly reckon the explosion of Fremantle's list as it crashes into a St Kilda-esque chasm of misery will be unrivaled.

    Oliver is being criminally underrated in the Rising Star. I would have him ahead of Petracca so far, who has just firmed as the favourite, while Oliver wasn't even mentioned in the 5 or 6 names I heard mentioned on the radio.

    I have him ahead of Petracca. I backed Petracca at $12's, and am in to Oliver at $15's (which he is at now). I have Oliver ahead of Petracca, but I think the market is factoring in Petracca's improvement, and the fact he is a second year player with a bigger body than first years (he is into $3.50 now). After last weeks performance it is hard to look beyond Petracca, but I still think Oliver will give it a shake. If TAC history is anything to go by, Oliver will come home very strong. I think he won the league medal after a slow start last year - when he had only polled a vote at the midway mark. I agree he is underrated in the rising star.

    My little boy is asking me where Ben Kennedy is from and who did he support growing up.  Anyone have any decent tips where we can find out answers to these questions? Club website is shite

    Here is a bit more about his games to date:  http://www.aflplayerratings.com.au/Ratings/Player/117240/Ben-KENNEDY

    But can't find who he barracked for as a kid.  Being from SA would guess Crows or Port.  Recruited from Glenelg so would further guess Crows...unless from Port territory SA folk generally barrack for the Crows:huh:.  Maybe your boy could send him an email/a letter via MFC or directly to him via Twitter.  Players seem to enjoy interacting with supporters, especially kids.

    How about Wayne Carey then? Or is Oliver more like Wayne?

    Maybe as much as Olisik is like ENYAW?

    DEES MAKE IT THREE WITH MAN-CHILD PETRACCA

    go you good blokes

    Loved the subtle pressure of this: 

    “We’re definitely having a few good wins together and it’s not up to me for him to sign, but I really want him to stay.”

    I can only surmise from the outside ....and taken all things with grains of salt etc . I get the idea a magnificent sense of camaraderie is building. That should not be under valued.

    These lads want to go all the way  TOGETHER !!

    What I'm pumped about is winning the Rising Star 3 yrs in a row - Hogan / petracca-Oliver (can't split them) / Weideman. And then tearing the finals apart next year.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
