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??

    • 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.

    • 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.
