MFC is a 3 goal better side with Oscar gone

It is difficult to comment on Oscar, such is the sentiment of DL contributors to his game and successive performances. We all wish him well at another club but our combined consciousness reduces our ongoing confidence in his game both now and in the future. At present, it does look like we are a 3-goal, better side without him.

    Before there was Oscar McInerney, there was OMAC. 

    I note he received the ol' DCM today. Loved him, and he did well to almost get to 100 games.

    Underrated here... ❤️💙

    Hmm....

    Can't say I agree with this at all.  

    Don't really want a pile on here because he's career is officially over, so I'll leave it at that.

    Played with a fractured back from 19 years old onwards. Good career all things considered. 

     

    Smart guy - onto bigger and better things from here I reckon.

    Jake just got to OMacs Melbourne goal tally. Both were rippers and I went nuts each time. Nicest bloke and I wish him well with the rest of this life stuff.

    Played in a Prelim final for Melbourne. Not many in the past 50 years can say they did that.

    Another year like this one for Tomlinson next year as a 30 year old with his contact ending, and you'd just about rookie Omac as depth on half the money instead.

    Had decent natural ability but never had the confidence/physicality to make it

    Good luck to OMAC, whatever his next step is.  Would be behind Turner and Tommo at the dees, and the Blues gave him a shot.  Another AFL gig might be a stretch given his recent injury history, but I Will remember him as a demon who tried his heart out week in, week out for us.

    I don’t see the point in regurgitating negative opinions of his calibre whilst he played for us and I think it’s pretty poor.

    Best of luck for the future OMac, not that you’d be reading this.

    O Mac started the last two seasons well for the Blues until his back started playing up. Looked like he was going to hold a regular spot in the backline, according to some Carlton fans he was ahead of Young at the start of this year.

    Most . . . really? I wonder what the evidence is for that assertion.

    I follow all the ex-Deez in the AFL. I wonder if 'most' on 'Land do as well.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
