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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
