    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.

    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.

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

  • 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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
