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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
