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??

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
