We should experiment & try some of our fringe players in different positions. OMac was a forward as a junior it might help me reignite his career.

    Like it. I've heard far worse suggestions. Though I think the FD would also have considered this.

    Omac is still relatively young, strikes me as a role player that needs time to develop and increase his strength. 

    Maybe his best position is yet to be determined.

    (Queue the Omac haters...)

    Omac is far too lackadaisical as it is let alone to play in the forward line.

    OMac not even selected for Casey must be injured

    I lack a daisy or two myself...But don't hold that against me. I cook a good spaghetti bolog.

    Omac is the biggest spud. He'd probably be worse at chf. Absolutely zero pace or intensity. My grandma would offer more at chf

    Think he mostly played back as a junior. Tom certainly was a forward, but not Oscar. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try it but I don't see him as a natural ball target

    Try him anywhere,  it wont matter.  Not an AFL standard player.

    Yep agree ET. It's his lack of intensity and desperation that won't get him much further in his career.

    And as @Petraccattack said, sometime its just the simple case of just a limited footballer who is unfortunately not an AFL standard player.

    Oscar played a mixed of forward and back as a junior.

    I disagree, a certainty to be picked up by a strong club for next to nothing and turned into a useful player.

    He did play some time up forward as a junior. No harm in seeing what he can do forward at Casey. Our back stocks seem settled so it's worth a try.

    The wya some posters  "think" you could draw the conclusion that the kid is a mixture of Trump, Stalin, plus wgatever evil comes into our mind.

    He is a young bloke who has been given a chance to play AFL and I would be absolutely suprised if he does not give everything when he is preparing and playing. I think sometimes in our criticism of a player ( and it had happened often e.g. Watts, Lewis, Weideman etc) we make blanket statements and refuse to acknowledge team efforts or any efforts at all.

    Have noted he is not playing @ Casey hence he has not played ( I could be wrong) since being demoted . Let's cut some slack for the kid.

    There is nothing wrong with O'Mac the forward line for Casey, rem its only reserves.

    Early on, but mostly he played back in his last year or 2 of underage footy. A connection at the rebels once told me he'd be a better back than Tom and Tom should have been playing forward. This was when Tom was looking like he could join the elite backs.

    Unfortunately on these type of internet forums supporters want all players to be superstars from game 1 otherwise they turn very quickly. Not all players will make it (actually a lot don't) and some might play 50-100 games as pure role players but they are vital to the team, others take years to develop then become very good players. However along the way a lot of those that take time to come good get bagged out at every opportunity, at the moment we've got Harmes, Gawn, Frost, Jones, Hunt, ANB and TMac (just from this weeks team) who've at one stage or another been called a spud, called to be delisted or traded or 'never to play again'  on this forum alone. Gets very tiresome

    A bit of mystery his absence from the Casey team again. OMac is in a few of the photos from Wednesday’s training gallery taking on his brother. Possibility he hurt himself that day but why the silence.

    He's not listed as injured though? Hopefully he's feeling alright up stairs?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
