I am one who wants to see him tried as a forward. Also as a 2nd ruck, where hopefully some time on the ball free up his mind a bit and let him enjoy his footy again. Release the siege mentality a bit. I think it might be weighing him down.

He does have a touch of the Col Garland head drops about him at times.

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

Then he should go back to the Under 14s team so that he can feel comfortable.

Aaaand, snap!

Showed a bit of promise last year. Not brilliant but above average at times.

Sadly gone the way of his bro this year.

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

Well if he read some of the continuing personal  negative posts on this forum one wouldn’t be really surprised. 

He is a MFC listed player, as is his brother ..... constructive criticism may be useful but the continuing negativity (spud, dud , etc) is not helpful to anyone.  It  almost seems than once some posters feel a player is not going to be a star, or even not make the grade (as many from all clubs don’t) they enjoy seeing them fail and stick the knives in at every opportunity. 

I wish him well and hope he recovers from whatever is troubling him, and that he comes back hard and makes these naysayers eat their words.

GO DEMONS!

Yeah Nar Nar, lets play Paul Rowlands at CHF?? surely a good bet!!

And Ray Carr at CHB!

Paul Callery at FF and gee we have a pretty good unit

OMacs greatest strength was zone defending, where he could park in space and drop onto a contest. He's not Jake Lever but he isn't a hack playing this role, and it suits him physically as he gets to the contests and can use his reach to impact. He isn't a one on one defender, as he doesn't have the strength, the body on body awareness of where his player is nor the pace off the mark to stop the lead. 

I don't really understand why this place has been in meltdown this year when it was obvious that 666 was going to really test our gameplan which used runners behind the ball, numbers at the contest and a zone defense in the backline.  Not only is that game plan but it's clear we had drafted/ recruited for that zone D50 play with OMac, Frost, Hibberd, Lever, and the use of Fritsch and Hunt down there.  The spend on May was to try and balance this with a strong anchor down back, but his injury and our lack of preparation ruined any chance we had.
