Bad jokes aside, I think Oscar would be a good pick at 40.

Ideally I'd like Brayden Maynard, but I'm not confident he will last that long.

I know it's not good business, but I'm really hoping that we move on a guy like Evans so we can use pick 53.

I'm a self confessed clueness nuffie when it comes to draftees, but I love this from a personal perspective. Happy times in the McDonald family tonight I reckon.

Good pick up Moonie. Dont forget some other brothers over the years Steve and Shaun Smith Brett and Glenn Lovett and, of course Kevin Dyson whose younger brother Tom is currently wearing the number

I don't know why the Dogs didn't just get Tom Boyd under father son, his dad Mathew already plays there....

Really? Who'd have known that. I thought it was Tom and James who were related.....

I thought the game was to name players with the same surname who weren't related. Sorry for not picking up on the unadvertised rule change.

Would be a great pick up at 40 and good to have the brothers playing together.

As the AFL website is suggesting that the Western Bulldogs might pick him up with their first pick (#26) then it would be very lucky indeed if Oscar is still there at #40!

Sounds a decent prospect and I'm hoping we are able to pick him up with a late pick and let him develop for a few years.

Let him develop for a few years!!! That's way too sensible for us... Farout!! If he isn't pushing for the top ten in the comp by his second year, then we have him in the gun... Development? Pfft... Get real....

Lol..

Great get at 53! Was said he would go in the 20-30's, so great to land him with a late pick. He plays just like his older brother Tom, so we add some good depth and add a bit more of a family connection with the club which is nice to see.

Think the club had a hunch that McDonald would slip to 53. Would've have jumped at him at 40 if otherwise. Great to see another pair of brothers at the Dees, let alone McDonald's!

Is his disposal any better than Tom's?

Can he play forward?

Don't get me wrong, I'm really stoked, but just interested to know.

A much better kick. His kicking for a big man is actually quite impressive.

Big boy too. 197cm tall.

I think the major concern is speed. Key forwards aren't just getting taller but some of them are super fast (ie. Jeremy Cameron, Buddy Franklin).

So Oscar looks nicely suited as a CHB and nicely complementing of Sam Frost. Not sure where that leaves Tommy! But plenty of years until we need to worry about that.

Yes and yes, possibly even half back. While he is tall and has grown a heap in the past 18 months, he is incredibly quick over the first few steps for a guy his height, and reads the play well. Unlikely to see any senior footy next year but he is a well grounded young man.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
