His game last night was awesome. He worried us all but he has confidence now. 

Next week is going to be another tough day, but he is up to it.

    His field kicking is what impresses me most. Nice to have a key back with great foot skills.

    Frosty has improved also.

    This is easily his, and Frosty’s biggest test coming up. Two big fwds to contend with at the home ground.

    Yes there was 2-3 times where he kicked long to his intended target. 

    Stress relieved straight away.

    OMac, like Weed, is a confidence player. How he got confidence shows that not everyone needs to be hit over the head with the same stick.

    Oscar needed games pumped into him in the firsts. Weed needed some games in the magoos to develop. Harmes needed a boot up the arze early in his career. It just goes to show it's horses for courses.

    He didn’t worry all of us. Some of us always saw the longer term plan, and that he had the essential qualities. Oscar has got where he is faster and younger than most were/are prepared to admit. The whipping boy treatment he got before probably the last half of this season has always been misplaced and ignorant.

    A majority here owe OMac an apology.  The Hawkins game was only a month ago, where he was on song and delivery was almost unstoppable.

     

     

      OMac's best game for the club last night.  A sense of calm now when he gets it.  Will progress and mature ala his brother and D.Grimes.

    I always thought he has been OK for a long time. Only times he looked bad  was when the opposition get the ball in quick due to poor pressure upfield. Any defender looks bad in those circumstances and we were dodgy in that respect for a long time. Now he seems to get up the ground more where one he was almost permanently parked inside defensive 50.

    O Mac and Frosty flogged Walker and Jenkins at Adelaide Oval a couple of months ago.

    Darling and Kennedy a bigger threat, but our boys have shown they can take on dual established tall forwards and win.

    And there's some similarities between both sets of forwards. Each have crumbled in big finals before...

    Huge game coming up where he will likely play on Darling on their home turf. He has been great the last couple of weeks and the defence as a whole won us the game on Friday night imo.

    Along with Nev and Salem, very underrated but a big test with Darling and Kennedy. Love the way Frost has played recently as well.

    OMac is solid, which is what you want in a full back. It all goes to show that a champion teams always beats a team of champions. Players all playing their role well and supporting each other make each other look good. OMac has always been a reliable backman but has been exposed by a lack of lock down pressure in the midfield on the turnover. No one can look good when the ball is slingshotting regularly into your defensive 50 with little pressure on the kicker.

    We are getting that full ground pressure now and everyone is starting to look better.

    All the backs look good when the mids and forwards are pressuring and spoiling up the ground.

    Without the pressure from the rest of the team he is going to look very ordinary again.

    This week will be a big test for Omac and Frost. If our midfield put manic pressure on theirs and the delivery is rushed or bombed, Darling and Kennedy will struggle. Will help if Max drops back regularly like he did against Hawks.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
