From what I know he is relative new to the game, he's only been playing for a couple of years (4-5 years) . He comes from  a soccer background and only  did top age and overage at tac  cup with Gippsland power. 

He did come top 5 at the morrish  medal last year, which is not a bad effort for someone just learning the game. https://afldraftcentral.com.au/2015/09/18/oliver-piece/

 

What do you guys think?

    Ferreira beat Papley, Parish, Mathieson,Curnow, Scache etc in the Morrish last year.

    I can see why.

    Recruit him!   

    I remember saying the same thing about Aaron Davey when he played against Sandy in a Final for Port Melb the year before we recruited him.

    I actually requested to sponsor Flash if we recruited him, and was granted my request when we did.

    My mate and I were his sponsors throughout his career.I've got the same hunch about Aloysio Ferreira.

    PS ...  also felt strongly we should recruit Caleb Daniel.

    I only saw the Casey game on TV and the only time I have seen him play, however, from what was on display, there does seem to be that "X-Factor" about him. Like others have stated, he does go missing, but, I would assume that is probably a fitness issue. 

    Melbourne seems like they can develop their young kids, so he may be worth a rookie spot and not just a waste of talent. Pretty sure Jason Taylor & co would be looking into him along with a number of other players to rookie.

    not sure about going missing because he was the 23rd man and may have only had limited game time

    does anyone know how much game time he actually had?

    He's a very good mark for his size,  but is very much a one-sided lefty as so many are. A Couple of times in the game 2 weeks ago he found himself with little choice but to use his right foot, instead he tried to swing back on the left and either turned it over or sold a teammate into trouble. 

    Having said that, his skills by foot and hand on his left are first class, he has great vision, he found Grimes(I think) in  traffic against the Bulldogs deep in the forward line surrounded by 3 opponents with a beautiful bended pass in that game, that not many could execute with such aplomb.

    And as has been mentioned, like Oscar McInerney, people need to remember both have played only a handful of games at senior level this year, it's a big step up from Under 18s to VFL reserves to VFL seniors, let alone AFL.  Just look at Max King for an example of the gulf in quality between VFL seniors and reserves.

    Casey has been lucky this year to have a number of players show glimpses in the reserves and be rewarded with games, Dyl Collis, Paul Pattison, Dylan Gordon and Tom Baker have all stepped up at times this year and showed good signs. Ferreira and McInerney have been somewhat fortunate with the timing of their elevation, but good luck to them they've both taken their chances well in the last few games...

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
