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??

    • 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.
