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.)

    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.

    Clickbait x 1000

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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

    • 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.
