"Oscar played the last 14 games of 2016 and impressed with his intercepting and work in the contest. McDonald was involved in 41 defensive one-on-one contests and lost just 17% (7) - ranked 2nd at the

I thought he played pretty well on the weekend. few good marks.  will be an important defender for us for years to come

He is improving every week and still he cops it. One day he will hold a big key forward goalless, and people will still say he isnt up to it.

How he stil gets games mystifies me. That lamantable chase down of the ball which cost a goal was droppable for a start! Plus his miserable body on body efforts costing another 2 goals! Beats me!!

Don't worry they will have found another whipping boy by then and will have moved on

picket must seriously have a personal gripe to pick with these guys- he comes across as the most nasty miserable man, and i would hate to live in his head!

you mustn't read all the posts, there are some serious issues across the board with quite a few

Is this guy an AFL standard player? I think not !Anyone else share the same opinion?

Yes he is.  Considering his age, body size, inexperience and the fact hes a KPD he is exceeding expectations already.

Show him some love, PF!     23 possies today in one of our greatest wins.

Was excellent today.

Absolutely!  Was very composed in his play today, and really looked like he belonged.

I still have a couple of queries (as I do with most players), but he has been good the last month or so.

My only knocks are his composure in tight situations and not hitting markings contests as hard as he could.

Every young player has things they need to work on, and as I said, his last month has been good stuff.

This and his speed or lack of, He was good for the most part but should have made more of an impact on Brayshaws (bad) kick.

How you still have energy to have a go at the McDonald brothers mystifies me.

We as fans see short term, win this week, the footy depth have looked at Oscar as long term. Today was reward for that. 

He will have his ups and downs but is looking a lot more comfortable at AFL.

Two good games in a row. OMac is certainly putting his case forward. Classic Roos project player. Tracking better than his brother at this stage.

Picket Fence is Demonland's answer to Benny Hill.

For the second week in a row he played his career best game.

Still needs to develop more confidence when we are in offence - the Stretch goal is a perfect example of that. But defensively he has improved this year and with TMac and Frost, they are starting to gel more down there as a unit.

Big fan of OMac and it's great to see him going from strength to strength.  For a second year KPD to be playing the way he is, it's fantastic for now and the future.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
