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

    “I remember being almost in awe of how big he was and he was obviously an incredible athlete, so there was a bit of ‘I wish he was on my team and not playing against me’ back then.”

    dreams  CAN come true ^_^

    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.

    • 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.
