he will make it. name another kpd in their first year besides weitering that is even close. especially playing back with no seasoned role models. there are none

alot of people thought Frawley was a spud in his first few years, the all of a sudden he was our saviour, key defenders take time

    I didn't think he was that bad, apart from that horrendous dropped mark which resulted in a goal and ended any chance of staying in touch.

    I thought that with the exception of a couple of shockers that OMac was pretty good today.

    Was there a player in either team who didn't have a shocker at some point?

    That's my opinion and until he proves it wrong that's where it sits with me! Would he get a game with anyone else??

    No way! not even Essendope or Brisbane IMV

    Yeah and you keep repeating it over and over and over and over again, no one cares about your hatefest on the McDonalds pickett

    That's a pretty fair comment Chris. Oscar annoys the hell out of me but a little perspective goes a long way.

    Just block him.  Unless someone quotes him I don't have to read his constant drivel.  Makes a thread so much easier to read.

    Has time on his side, but for a young player at this point in time there's more to dislike than like at this stage.

    A non-negotiable for our team over the last couple of years has been competitiveness. And with that comes aggression and intensity.

    O-Mac in my eyes resembles Watts (early-days) in the way he plays. I don't see a huge amount of urgency in his game and that's one thing that I really dislike at the moment.

    We have nobody else to play presently so clearly he'll keep playing. 

    But I cannot see a backline of Frost, O-Mac and T-Mac all in the same side if we're going to see further progress with this group.

    Those three share far too many weaknesses.

    He has played 10 games of football.  He had some really good moments today but I agree with the fact he makes some mistakes.  In saying that every player does, just some seemed to be singled out more than others

    Honestly how can you compare the Era of Bailey opposed to the current Era? It's just bizarre. Should we not play any players until they are 22 and have 70 vfl games? Would that please you? 

    How is that bizarre? It's exactly what they did in the Bailey era.

    You probably need to read his 300 posts on the topic to really get teh feel for what he is thinking. But I wouldn't bother because most of his rantings are ego driven drivel.

    Not suited to the weather, should not have played, got a huge hip corky and couldn't run the second half out..

    Massive upside if he can continue to work on his strength and speed, plus clean up his kicking and decision making by hand under pressure.

    Er, isn't that what he said he does?

    Hardly the right conditions this week to judge a young KPD player picket. I suspect even if he improved dramatically over the next 18 mths you'd never acknowledge it.

    But you wouldn't expect much else from a tall skinny fellow in his second year on an AFL list, who was drafted 53 in his year.

    Yes he has work to do, as do most new blokes- look at Harmes as an example, he has taken time to learn good habits and still needs to improve.. Talls will always take longer to develop and build confidence.

    I agree..i dont expect much more...  Its also why under normal conditions he wouldnt be out there in the first place.. We have f all depth in the backline.. Is our priority for the summer...sort it out.

    It most certainly is Moonie.  One of my rare, smart decisions, and it's paid dividends on this site.

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

    so let me get this right....oscar was the only player who dropped an uncontested mark on the scg on sunday in the rain?

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
