BRISBANE son of a gun Jaspa Fletcher is round 19's AFL Rising Star nominee for his 19-disposal, eight-mark game against Geelong.

And that recognition was just the start of a big 24 hours for the 19-year-old, with Brisbane confirming a two-year contract extension that ties him to the club until at least the end of 2026.

Fletcher has played every game since debuting in round 14, kicking three goals and averaging 14.3 disposals.

Speaking on Tuesday morning after inking his new deal, Fletcher said there was a lot to be excited about.

"It's been an eventful 24 hours," he said.

"To beat the reigning premiers in front of a home crowd was pretty special.

"Dad's played here and to pull on that jumper that he's pulled on is pretty special and I'm looking forward to the next few years."

It didn't take long for Fletcher to make an impression at the top level, kicking a tremendous running goal in his first match.

He was nominated for the Rebel Sport Goal of the Year award last round for his sensational goal from 45m, picking off an intercept mark and streaming towards goal, taking a bounce before converting.

A member of the Lions' Academy and the son of former Brisbane player Adrian, who played 107 matches for Brisbane between 1993 and 1997, Fletcher was selected with pick No.12 in the 2022 NAB AFL Draft after the Lions matched a bid from the Western Bulldogs.

Fletcher's nomination is the third for Brisbane this season, with Will Ashcroft and Darcy Wilmot also impressing.

Along with fellow father-son selection Ashcroft, Fletcher has slotted straight into the Lions' midfield as the side mounts a serious bid to go deep into September.
