WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - OSCAR MCDONALD

Featured Replies

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.

 

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.


I was sure he'd be well gone by pick40, let alone pick 53! Good get dees

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!

Dee-lighted

Massive pick up!

Is just as good up forward then back.

This reminds me when Sydney picked up Sam Reid as the defender.


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.

Was hoping big O would fall our way . This kid is a great add and unlike Tom can kick goals!

This is such a lovely pick up.

I know nothing about the qualities of draft picks, but this makes me happy.

Is he a Junior Mac, or Big Mac?

I can see him playing forward, a lot of vision of him doing that on YouTube.

Brotherly love again at the Dees! Makes me all warm and gooey inside :)

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

Big boy too. 197cm tall.

Is he a Junior Mac, or Big Mac?

It obvious - Fries

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.

  • 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.
