2015 Player Review - # 28 Oscar McDonald

Featured Replies

The tall defender spent most of the season at Casey before receiving a surprise call up to play against Fremantle in Perth and did not disappoint.

Let's hope that he becomes a regular in our backline with another pre-season behind him!

Really didn't warrant his two AFL games, but long term it should be a good thing for him.

He now knows the level he needs to get to and where he is currently at, so presumably he will start next year at Casey and work on closing that gap. Hopefully can be a long term key defender for us.

 

He was given charity games that he had not earned but I don't mind the coaches giving young players a taste of senior footy.

While Oscar certainly hadn't knocked the door down for senior selection, his form at Casey had been pretty solid.

With Dunn and Garland both in the latter part of their careers, Oscar's development is important to hold down the key defensive posts with his brother and Frost.


Who cares if he had 'earned' those games? He showed enough in them to justify his selection.

Every club debuts youngsters in dead rubber games to end the season whether they are banging the door or not.

This kid will be a very good player.

Unsurprisingly for an 18 year old key defender, needs to spend the pre-season locked in the gym. Promising start though.

I expect the more physically ready Frost to play ahead of him 2016, allowing him to quietly chip away at his weaknesses as Casey. How it should be with all under-developed players ideally.

Didn't look lost, and he showed some poise. Like his brother, he might be handy for us.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
