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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
