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.

If I read between the lines Picket Fence, you don't rate Oscar McDonald. Am I right?

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
