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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
