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.

And the way he kicks for goal, we'll be waiting more than another 60 before he kicks one!

    It’s strange that Oscar is a better field kick than Tom but it’s vice versa in front of goals.

    Very small sample.

    On a serious note, he’s definitely a more reliable field kick than his brother ever was or ever will be. In time I think he can become the better defender of the two.

    I found it interesting that the article describes him as a previous whipping boy of the fans. Do they mean online, ala DLand? Has Oscar copped it from over the fence? I didn’t realise it was common knowledge that he was a whipping boy. I obviously know he has been on here at times.

    Wouldn't mind him signing a contract.  For such a young player to be playing as that key role, imagine him in 2-3 years times when he gets some real strength.

    Oscar hasn’t signed on yet has he?

    • 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.
