4 teams currently interested. Don’t expect much in return but Oscar very likely to find a new home 

They are?

Mitch Georgiades. Tim Membrey. Shaun Mckernan. Jack Darling. The list goes on of blokes that made Oscar look decidedly 2nd rate.   imv the club will look to offload Oscar to anyone who’s interested and maybe get a pick in the 60s or 70s or just delist. But it’s just imv 

He comfortably beat Jack Darling.

Zac Dawson was a good athlete who built strength and became a very good defensive player even with limited skills. 

Oscar's never shown any kind of athleticism and hasn't improved his defensive ability. 

The camera work likely obscures some of stuff Oscar does well but too many times he'll be in good position with his opponent and just led to the ball. If you can't compete you aren't even going to make it.

Zac Dawson wasn't afraid of physical contact either. Put his body on the line on many occasions.

Surely

omcd and pick 63 to Swans for pick 52 Or

omcd and pick 63 to Power for pick 51 Or

omcd and pick 63 to Crows for pick 50
 

If Tom goes to NSW for Giants or SA for Crows, Oscar can still tag along.

Your taking the [censored] right?

Honestly if a trade gets done I'm not going to worry about a token pick that we won't even use. That's not me wanting to denigrate him but if there can be something done that's simple to get Oscar to a club who'll give him a chance then let's do it and try to make his exit on the best terms possible.

Oscar's actually better off getting delisted and becoming a life time free agent. Trading him just moves the process along rather than waiting for deadlines. 

I'm going to take a random guess at clubs just to see how I go.

Bulldogs - always keen for tall defensive depth
Gold Coast - played pretty much all year without a CHB
Port - need a taller defender if they miss out on Aliir
Syndey - if Aliir goes

You really think Port, a top 4 side would take omac? If Jack watts couldn't get a game than Oscar has no hope of being picked up there

Watts could get a game, just didn't want to and got injured. They tried Trengove, Toumpas and Dom Barry as well. They've taken and rejuvenated Trent McKenzie and Sam Mayes and they are in the market for a proper big key defender. I think he makes more sense going to a good side as mature depth than going to a bad team. Bad sides can start again drafting and developing players. A good side like Port needs to have someone step in as depth or to play on the big talls, that's the kind of side that should roll the dice on getting more out of Oscar. They also play a very high press/aggressive zone which Oscar generally does well in (or at least better than when he's forced one on one.

All jokes aside. I actually took a moment and honestly couldn't think of any club that would take him. Maybe north but even that's a stretch

Can't believe I'm saying this but Oscar is way more of an AFL footballer than Toumpas ever was. Probably our worst top 5 pick ever.

I know toumpas was rubbish but he never made me tear my hair out like Oscar does

Toumpas didn't play enough games to tear my hair out because he was too busy being ordinary at VFL level, then when he got to play at AFL level he'd barely touch the ball.

Toumpas or Cale Morton? tough choice.

Cale morton was way better than toumpas. I remember one game where Morton completely took Adam Goodes out of the game

Scully has gone on to be a decent player at other clubs so i think Morton and Toumpas were worse. Lucas Cook pretty average. god it's depressing thinking about our recruting 


Toumpas was a rolls royce at under18 level. much like jonathan o'rourke. they were just victims of the game becoming a rolling scrum.

Toumpas couldn't run.  He waddled around the ground.

Didn't have the body for footy, but his child bearing hips were impressive.

Luke Molan says hi back, as does Lucas Cook. I know they weren’t top 5 picks but they were just as bad.

Gosh, fancy Elegt, olisik, Dr. D and Pickett2Jackson all posting at the same time again.

You could be forgiven for suspecting they're the one person.  Just another coincidence, I suppose.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
