I think OMac is unfairly maligned. He’s purely a depth player and not the reason why we win or lose. Yes he’s limited and prone to brain fades but he’s serviceable in the 3rd tall defender role. I don’t think he should have played yesterday but that’s a selection mistake by Goodwin.

I want to know where our A-graders were last night. Petracca can be forgiven because he’s been very good this year but the rest have no excuse.

Did you see the game 

He was poor against the Saints

He was soft against the Swans 

Delist now

I liked the bit where they had to play at him full forward just to stay out of the way.

And the ruck. Goodwin tried his best to hide him

Never been a fan of Oscar and I've let my feelings been known over the course. Also not a fan of bumping every thread to continually rag on a single player wherever possible. What's the purpose? Seriously? What do people hope to gain?

He had a poor game same as about 15 others. The club has a long list of problems at the moment but I don’t think Omac is near the top.

Same could be said of Brown. We got 99 problems but the Mitch ain't one.

Out of anyone on the list OMac gets the most charity games

Great. I agree. I said it in 2016 and 2017 and then stopped. You think you can influence selection by banging on about it? You need to vent - then do it in the post-game or weekly changes thread.

You're not a fan of either of them?

Hore is a far better defender than OMac and Smith. The kicking is a problem but not as bad as you're suggesting. 

IMV, Hore is better in the contest, but OMac is the better kick. It's much of a muchness for me.

Petty was recruited as the KPD. The way I see it we have May, Lever, Tomlinson and Petty who can/will play the role solidly/to very well. 

Clearly, the club doesn't particularly rate Oscar, otherwise they wouldn't have first targeted Lever and then targeted May. He can play zone defence better than Frost, but the bar is low in that regard.

I am saying why bring on O Mac and Smith in the same team both in the backline.

May/Lever/Smith would have sufficed.    

No May/Lever/Smith back-up, coverage and heavy support of OMac required (whoever his opponent/s might have been at any moment) with these three defenders onfield, with OMac opening the chewy packets somewhere off-field.

Then dropping OMac immediately is a step in the right direction to strengthen the whole team. Surely? He is any opposition's pathway to kick goals - as often as required to stay on top of the Dees across a game. 


He has had plenty of chances to cement a spot. My impression is that he is one paced, lacks real aggression and seems to just be going through the motions during the game. At one point against the Swans he was under pressure and stuffed up, Viney came in to help but also stuffed up but at least Viney busted a gut chasing to make up for it...Oscar was nowhere to be seen. It seemed as though Viney ran past him to make amends.   We dont get the full picture on TV and being at the ground can give a different perspective but he just seems to lack intensity, which we can't afford.

Yep, Oscar isn't just a pea hearted footballer. He is lazy

I wish people could just remain objective.

[censored] on both counts. He may be many things. But he is not 'pea-hearted' nor is he lazy. You'd impress me more if you had the guts and the gumption to say it to his face. But you don't.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
