Has OMAC surpassed his brother? (The Age)

I believe Omac is the best full back of this century, and probably of all time.

 

(If we keep saying it enough, it becomes true. I've seen it work at other clubs.)

    I reckon this has been put out by his agent prior to contract negotiations

    Of course he has.
    Any-one who saw his sensational falcon on friday night will agree.

    It'll only take one bad match for people to be calling for his head.

    To be fair to Oscar he's asked to do a lot more than Tom was. Tom also got a lot more support when he was a defender. Oscar's best was with Lever supporting him and then he's been back to the old Oscar since, but slightly better.

    That's what it means to be a younger brother.

    OMG i knew the Age has essentially destroyed its credibility in the past few years, but this is the final confirmation if ever it was needed.

    I think your post is clickbait...

    Oscar:  “I think a key to a good finals team is to have a really settled backline that is willing to do anything to save goals, and defend really hard, so I think that’s what we’re building towards.”

    And so it was Friday night.  They played and defended with purpose and desperation.  Look forward to more of that this Friday.

    And:  "Oscar remains out-of-contract but insists a new deal isn’t far away".   Probably won't be announce until after our finals run.

    That can't be right. A demonland poster (whose name escapes me) is confident he us not 'locked away' because he is not best 22 and club are holding odf with a view to trading him.

    Sheesh.

    Dr cool is getting cooler.

    Well, when you're trying to spoil or mark, good positioning is the key.

    He's clearly been working on that aspect of the game, if he can now spoil with his 5th vertebrae.

    A month is a long time.  Most sheep around here were calling for his head.  Not many of the nervous nellies were sticking fat with OMac.

    This.

    All the c&$p that went on four years ago about Dunn versus OMAC. It was obvious Dunn would never play in a Dee premiership and OMAC was pinpointed by Roos and Goody as the go-with option. He hasn't let them or us down! Only another 240 games to go Oscar . . . and they'll still be into ya mate!

  • Quote

    IMO he’s improved this year, but TMac is great now and is well ahead. 

  • Quote

    As a backman TMAC's best was/is better than OMAC's. As a forward there is no comparison.

    Click bait from the age. Either that or Cherny simply has no idea.

    The gag is explained in the first two paragraphs FFS.

  • Quote

    Did anyone here actually read the article? The title was a bit of a trick. He's surpassed his brother in games played without kicking a goal now.

    Tom's settled up forward. Oscar's settled down back. He's developed well over the past 12 months and will be important for our club going forward. Hopefully a new contract is signed soon.

    I’m not that fat according to my BMI, but I’m sticking fat for Oscar! 4 year deal soon to be announced!

  • Quote

    As a defender it is a reasonable question. Oscar is a better decision maker and field kick than Tom. 

    By the end of next year I suspect he’ll be seen as the better defender

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
