I know they are different and all that but which player do you think will be the number 1 performer in 10 years.

Ill go

1. Oliver

2. Petracca

In saying that I absolutely respect Brayshaw is a gun.

Oliver

Brayshaw

Trac 

Oliver is a beast and has as all the attributes to be a star.  I think Trac will tear some games apart but Brayshaw will be better on a more consistent basis.

Oliver will be the best of them I think. The numbers he's getting with 60% game time in his first year have been crazy at times, and then you add in his height, excellent decision making, calmness, skill (hand and foot) and aggression and you get the complete package for a modern midfielder. I'm surprised he doesn't get any love in the media, he will soon.

I always had a soft spot for Daniel Bell.  Had the worst peripheral vision ever, but I'll never forget his BOG game on Scott Welsh that day at the 'G.  He played a blinder!

I reckon Trac has the highest ceiling. If he can become a big accumulator, and spend more time in the middle, he can be anything.

I think the three could become Dangerfield (Petracca), Mitchell (Oliver) and Lewis (Brayshaw). You'd say they're all stars if that were to eventuate.

All 3 are amazing ball winners for kids. This preseason will be interesting to see which of them is able to do the work on their fitness and kicking and push towards being consistent performers. Brayshaw and Petracca are both very good forwards as well. Clarry isn't as natural forward but he seems to have a nose for a goal like his off the ground effort on the weekend.

He will be our Bont over the next 12-24 months.... The media will fall in love with the way he goes about his footy and he will impact games more and more as his tank grows...

Exciting times... 

My 3 in order on what I've seen...

1. Oliver

2. Petracca

3. Brayshaw

Although on what I saw on Saturday night, Brayshaw looked amazing at times... His tackling was ferocious when it was needed and his 2nd and 3rd efforts were fantastic!

Trac just looks like a beast and with a full pre-season under his belt could be anything...

But Oliver has an X factor about him that sends blood to a region of my body like not many red-headed earthlings have been able to in the past... :cool:

If they all reach their top potential I feel Trac will be the best of them. 

At the moment he seems to flash in and out of games, if he puts in 4 quarter performances he could cause some massive headaches for the opposition.

All three have their own distinct qualities, but I love that they all love to tackle, have a fierce desire to win and are as tough as nails.

We're talking about Voss, Black, Ackermanis and Lappin here.  This group have the potential to be that good. 

Oliver is alot like Voss.

Dom Tyson reminds me of simon Black.

Brayshaw has a bit of NigeLappin without the booming kick.

Petracca is like Aka but more powerful.

Matched only by clumsy Kosi from the Saints.

Oliver = Voss (Michael, not his brother)

So we won't sign him up to coach 2030 then ?

I'm with you on this Jaded. Trac has the markings of a superstar.

I also think he has a bit of "left field" about him - the ability to do something that appears to be genius but he will make look everyday. Similar to Stevie J at times.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
