Agree, 2 seems pretty short

I'd do the same personally if I was a key back still developing. He'll be worth a hell of a lot more in 2 years, trust me. Smart young man/good manager. He'll never leave the Dee's, I wouldn't worry about that. 

Hit the nail on the head I reckon.

Think about how much more effective Oscar will be with the strength that another 2 pre-seasons will bring.

 

Great news from our list managers. Well done team, and thanks Oscar.

 

I wish I could hit a golf ball as far as he does. 290m. Gees.

Well done Oscar, great news. Allows you to concentrate on helping us towards a flag with no further distractions apart from the parade.

Well played Melbourne.

Give the young-uns a sniff of success and then low-ball them with the threat of Gold Coast hovering in the market.

Never in doubt. Well done O Mac...   gun full back in the making.

Who will he play on tomorrow night?

He should get Roughead, did a great job on him in Round 4 despite the fact Roughead kicked a couple on him in junk time. Was just about our only winner that day.

Another young gun signed up.


I don't know if it's been reported but it wouldn't surprise me if the length of the deal was the sticking point,  with us insisting on 3-4 years and Oscar looking for 1 or 2.

He will be in demand in a couple of years and possibly commanding big dollars; we also just signed Lever on big dollars (reportedly ~$750k) so I don't blame Oscar for wanting to test the water.

nearly right I suspect ... more likely a stand off over dollars and the compromise being sign up now for two years at $X and then go for $X plus after two years.

 

Omac and frosty are going to kill it down back for even longer now! This duo is seriously underated, so glad omac has been given 2 more years


Are we seeing the end of Big backmen and Big forwards, with the style of play to speed and agility outweighing strength and marking??

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
