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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
