    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.

    4th poor game in 5 weeks. Clearly out of his depth.

    His simple uncontested drop chest mark in the 3rd quarter was under 9s level.  

    Physically not up to AFL standard. Misses too many tackles... again.

    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.

    Clearly the mfc saw his potential and they have been rewarded for their persistence. Well done Oscar.

    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.

  • Quote

    Hey picket fence, what do you think of Cameron Bruce?

  • Quote

    I think the improvement in Frost and O Mac has been critical to our improved form over the past weeks. Very exciting for the future.

  • Quote

    I've been a big knocker of OMac but today against the top side he did well. Congrats!

  • Quote

    He is building consistency and some form.

    Looking more comfortable at AFL level.

    Much more creative then his brother and doesn't seem to be afraid to push right up to our forward line with run and carry.

  • Quote

    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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
