Not sure why my intial thread got taken down but, so I'll keep this simple. 

Probably one of the worst AFL players going around and its time we see the last of this potato.

With May coming in next week i expect tonight we'll be the last we'll see him in a red and blue jumper.. ever!

    I don’t like player bashing but he is the definition of a liability.

    Some of his defensive efforts on Jenkins were woeful.

    Yeah I agree. Nothing personally against him, probably a great guy but just not cut out for a key defensive position.

    Had 2.3 kicked on him, yes that was the difference, NOT.

    I have been an Oscar supporter god knows why ,, probably because of his whipping boy status. but tonight showed he is not up to it. I suspect the club had always known hence the lever and may recruitments

    2 1/2 years of poor substandard footy 

    2017 he was “developing” and we had to be patient 

    2018 he was hidden by our excellent form

    2019 slow weak turnover beaten

    Seriously??? And play who? May was coming back from injury, lever, hore and petty were out. Plus at least he didn't turn the ball over every time he had it out of defence. He was no where near the reason we lost tonight, 1.8 in the last and stupid decisions going forward were

    He can take JKH and Wagner with him too.

    And Goodwin should join him.

    Zero passion for the backbone of the club, us fans. Full of lame excuses but won’t get a bloody kicking coach!

    Honestly, I don't see the point in throwing more trash at him, he has been in only because of injuries to both of our first-choice key defenders. When May and Lever return, and with the development of Hore, return of Smith, and even the impending prospect of Petty overtaking him, Oscar's time and role at the club is in a twilight.

    Railing against his presence in our best 22 is about as sensible as railing against the continuing of season 2019. We know the situation, we know it will end, we know there will be a new dawn.

    Might as well as least let some peace flow in the meantime. Don't cling to bitterness.

    Ryan Ferguson no 2

    Ferguson was WAY better

    He is contracted until the end of season 2020 so unless a trade partner can be found he will be around next season.

    At this point I'd almost throw him forward in the vfl and see how he goes. He played some junior footy forward so it wouldn't hurt to see if he can help our forward depth in 2020. We can rule out the backline for him as a suitable place to play.

    CLEARLY didnt not watch tonights game. he is a spud and will be making his way out for Steven May.

    There is nothing tonight that justify any sense of support whatsoever. He was pathetic.

    If May and Lever can stay on the park when they return, O Mac played his last game for the MFC tonight.

    Oscar might make a good 2nd ruckman...

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
