I think you all need to back off a bit on Omac, ok he didn’t end up as we were all hoping, but a lot of you keyboard warriors who have probably never played a competitive game of football in your lives .

Pretty average 

Get over yourself, it’s a fan forum, what were you expecting? Oscar is a bog average footballer who likely wouldn’t even dominate club footy. How he stayed with us do long is a bit beyond me.

    Rapt with that.  I really want Oscar to find a new home.  He has more to offer.

    I think he will probably be a bargain wherever he goes. IMO the best out-of-contract player we have. Just isnt working for him at present. At 196cm and 24(?) yrs old, his best is in front of him, but still may be a year off. I expect him to be in the ones at Adelaide and pushing into top 25 if at Pies. He is friends with Darcy Moore already and they may work together well.

    For interest's sake, the current pick currency at Adelaide and Collingwood stands at:

    Adelaide: 1, 9, 22, 23, 33, 40, 50, 56, 66, 80 

    Collingwood: 16, 39, 42, 75, 92 

    Whereas we have: 26, 43, 68, 69, 89 

    I wonder what the FD can wrangle out of the above?

    My guess is they will take anything to find him a new home. I expect the pick will 80 at the crows or 92 at pies. Good luck O Mac.

    The Crows have lost Hartigan and might need to replace him.

    Yes, would give them some cover.

    Adelaide's Pick 56 would be  nice and after-all it is their 8th pick in the draft.

    Think @Rolling Stone's on the money of it's Collingwood.

    I'd suggest we offer Oscar and pick 43 for Adelaide's Pick 33

    I'd take either 66 (if Adelaide want him), or 75 (if Collingwood want him).

    Can't see this happening at all.  Is a lot in our favour.

    Sounds just like Demonland... kidding Andy!

    He will be a bargain pick up for whoever gets him. 
     

    New coach and structure and he will do wonders! I think at 24yo, Adelaide is a good fit for him for a long career... Can’t trust the Pies these days!

    Wait, you're not banned? Just be careful and don't call him out for his [censored]. He'll tell everyone not to abuse him and then abuse anyone he likes. Also, have you seen the spoof page? Best page if you're after a laugh.

    the spoof page is hilarious! i've been banned but i can still view posts, just not comment. the young man who runs it wasn't happy with my suggestion that Christian Petracca was a better player than jack Billings.

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

    How would you know? They both bever played.

    No news in the main channels about OMac.  Also ANB was named before the period and now all is quiet.  No interest, or just not interesting??

    One didn’t have the body to stand up to the rigours of AFL. The other, well he had just about 0 AFL qualities (especially the hunger/dedication) - even his own manager told him to expect being taken as a late 2nd/3rd round pick.

    They mentioned on AFL Exchange today that Neal-Bullen was looking around at options but there was no interest from other clubs

    Petty has a lot of potential and I hope we can more games into him but if we're targeting Brown and another wingman (previously Smith) the club is gunning for a premiership with with the list we've got.

    Tarrant could fill the void if May or Lever goes down, could Petty or Smith? Unlikely at this stage.

    Petty will very soon if he gets a good run at it.

    Crows would be a good fit. They need to replace Hartigan.  Oscar didn’t develop and clearly was not up to AFL Standard.  Embarrassed by rookies Georgiades and Mcinerney. We bid him farewell. 
     

    Oscar and MFC pick 43 for Crows pick 40.  

    OR 

    Oscar for Crows pick 66

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
